Once it is nearly fully charged, the voltage starts rising steeply until it is fully charged. So it might only get to 2.9V then rise steeply to 3.1V. The data sheet will indicate the charging characteristic. -- Chris Hall <chris@xxxxxxxxxx> --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/armini-support List-related queries to support@xxxxxxxxxxxx
