My old SkyRC charge smoked, so I upgraded to a D200 Neo.  When charging LiPo's, It spends almost no time in CV mode after reaching the target voltage.  My old charger tapered the current down to almost zero.  Here is the latest graph.  This was a discharged 300mAh pack, charged slow at .2 amps, to see if it made any difference.  
Does this seem odd?  Firmware is the latest.

Not a battery expert. Small batts like 300mah 3s would charge like that I would think. Not a lot of capacity so it charges up to level quick with no real taper down time.

Maybe try .1 amp to see if you can get the full 300mah in it.
I WILL NOT COMPLY

Thanks, going to try that next time.   Also, it does appear to be only the smaller batteries that cut off so soon.  I just charged a 1300mAh battery, and it did like I expected, with CV mode charging until the current was near zero.  My old charger did that with the smaller batteries, too.  I guess this one is just more conservative.  If the wind ever quits blasting, I'll get to use it some more on some larger packs.  Thanks again!

You’re charging a higher c-rating pack at a very low amperage. I’m not surprised with the results. Charge at .6A and it will look more like what you’re expecting.

Thanks, I'll try it.
