found this so i guess i sit and wait.

The charging function description:

After insert the adapter, charger "D", displays insert the battery, charger "D - D" two, start charging. Total voltage and each cycle display batteries voltage of the battery.


After the battery is full, the charger automatically stop charging, the display showsand flashing, buzzer once every 5 seconds tips.

The voltage display:

Insert the battery (no connection adapter), total voltage and each cycle on the screen display batteries voltage of the battery.

A 7.4v lipo is made up of two cells. Each cell is a nominal 3.7v hence the 7.4v. A fully charged cell is normally 4.2v so the battery will be 8.4v in total.

If the charger doesn't show the full icon as shown above, you can look for the 4.2 to show a full charge.
