I just need to know what to put it on… please someone break it down for me
You’ll want to charge it to 4.2 volts per cell at 1C. 1C is essentially your battery’s capacity, in your case, 0.85A. This is generally considered a safe charging rate. Batteries can be pretty risky and dangerous. I’d really recommend doing more research on how to charge and discharge batteries before proceeding.

This is the answer. Set it for LIPO (4.2v) at .85 amps. Don’t forget to plug the balance lead into the charger too.

How did the battery get so out of balance?
I’m not sure what I’m talking about, but I think that the battery is 14-something volts, so maybe since it’s 4 separate batteries you would use the 3.85 volts, but again, I have no idea. Maybe try googling both the battery and charger to find manuals or something.
@Hadley
Well, the first part is right. A full charge for a Lipo (the type of battery he has) is usually 4.2 volts (high voltage Lipos go to 4.35, but those are mostly 1s/1 cell). So, to fully charge this battery, you’d select 4.2. The 14 volts is the total nominal voltage of all cells in series. You’re right that you could charge it to 1/4 of that, but that would be to store the battery for a long time. For regular non-high-voltage Lipos, that’s usually 3.8 volts (but 3.85 works too). For amperage, 1C is safe. 1C is the battery capacity in amps, so here that would be 0.85A.

See, at least someone knows what they’re talking about, lol
