Tools and Field Equipment > Hobbico Quick Field Charger Mk2 led flashes in sets of 4. ????????

I just bought this charger at my LHS. It looked convenient and easy to use. When I try to charge LI-PO's, it flashes the green led in 4's.

There is no explanation for this in the manual. Does anyone know what this means?

Quote 
Quick Field Charger MkII will indicate that fast charge has ended
and trickle charge has begun by emitting an audible tone seven
times and the LED will flash four times. The charger will remain in
the trickle charge state until the battery is removed from the charger,
or another input command is given to the charger.

here you go:

Hey Jester:

Thanks for your reply.
I did not find the source of your quote. However I did find where it says that there is no trickle charge for LIPO's. It uses the constant current/constant voltage method?
Anyway, I have already taken the charger back to the hobby shop and exchanged it for a:
Electrifly PolyCharge 4
It has 4 stations and a higher current setting.
If there is a chance the Hobbico charger was working properly, I need to find out and inform them so they don't send a good charger back.

That quote was directly copied from the manual. The link I posted will take you there. Go to page 3 at the top.

There is no trickle for Lipo, but the 4 flashes means good to go...
