Pb is for lead/acid batteries? Figured i could put it on life/lithium on the 4s setting at 6amps. Most r/c chargers want a mah level set to and i was unsure if i should just set it at like 5000mah and let it do it's thing.

Wont work on life or lith. If you go to the website for antigravity it should tell you the aH. I have the 12cell and it is 9aH.

This information is wrong. The charging algorithm for PB and lithium is different. Using an rc charger is common practice.... just make sure it's set for thr correct type of lithium

I was not able to get my charger to connect to the antigravity battery with any other option.

user @KMN has the iCharger 106b like I do, I asked him recently about charging and he suggested,

Set to LiFe 4 cell. I think it would still be a four cell just smaller cells for the 12 vs 16.

I also had asked AntiGravity directly and they said this.

Hello * and thank you for reaching out to us. While technically you should be able to use the settings for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) we can't necessarily vouch for that model/brand as we usually try to stay away from multi chemical compositions chargers. Reason being for the exact questions your asking as there is a risk for having the wrong settings as well as not providing the correct charge rate or being able to recognize a battery if it is in an over discharged state and charging it too fast. The standard lithium specific chargers we recommend such as the Optimate and CTEK brands have a rate anywhere from .8 amps to 5 amps but also have built in functionality to identify the state of the battery so we know they will attempt to properly charger the battery in any state.

Hopefully that helps point you in the right direction but please let us know if you have any other questions.

Looks like this is the charger AntiGravity is suggesting may be the better option https://optimate1.com/product/optimate-dc-to-dc-2/?v=7516fd43adaa


May buy one and check it out.
