Put it on another charge, the charger will automatically cut out when all the cells reach 4.2V. If you don't do this you'll end up with unbalanced cells. Make sure you check it regularly when charging. You might want to get a LiPo battery checker as well so you can check the voltage of each cell after you have used it. There's loads of stuff on YouTube about LiPo batteries, most of it is rubbish but its useful to understand how LiPo batteries work.

You should have received some instructions, they maybe in one of the emails sent to you when the order was confirmed. They're also on the web site under “user manuals”. If you're concerned about the battery charging then I recommend getting a Bat safe.

Hello mate,
we were out there this time last year. The owner gave us the tour when we got there, he was a really nice bloke and was very helpful. We had 2 bailiffs looking after us, one did the breakfast and the other the evening meal, the food portions were large and the quality very good. You're supposed to call the Balif if you get a big fish, I would double check the number as the one given to us went to the ex Balif in the UK. We had fish up to the 50lb mark and were more than capable of dealing with these ourselves. Top swim was opposite the dinning area, my mate could hardly keep a rod in the water. There were only 3 of us, we didn't fish the right hand bank as the swims were underwater and we're too old for all that, it was fairly obvious that a lot of the fish were holding out in this area. I fished the left hand bank and was on about 2 runs per day, the depth was around 20 feet and it was a bit snaggy. Overall I really liked the place. If you want a chat PM me your number and I'll give you a call. Regards Paul.

I ordered some stuff directly from Clarins for the wife's Xmas present, the box has just arrived and they've used dissolvable PVA nuggets (lots of them)to protect the contents

If people keep asking the same question eventually they're going to get an answer they don't like.

Fished it a few years back, 2017 I think. 2 of us fished the top lake which is the smaller of the 2. We had some nice looking fish into the 30's. The other 3 in our group fished the bottom lake but struggled a bit. The lake is very quiet & peaceful , you need to go back up the track to get a mobile signal. Shops were about a 15minute drive, we always managed to get lost on the way back.If you fish the top lake don't fish right across, drop it short by about 6 foot. The owner will tell you where. In summary, a couple of nice lakes in a secluded area with some nice looking fish.If you want more information then by all means PM me.

We went there a couple of years back. Nice little lake with a nice sized lodge that housed the shower and toilet as well. From memory we had carp in the high thirties, I wouldn't say it was hard going but it wasn't a runs water either. Most of the fish seemed to come from the far side up the channel between the island and bank. There's a map in the lodge that shows what water belongs to each swim, which is handy. Can't remember the owners name but he was a real nice guy, in fact he went back to the UK after a couple of days and left us to it which suits us fine. Socially it was one of our best trips because it was a short walk to the lodge from the swims. There's a platform at the lakeside you can eat from but we didn't bother due to the mozzies. You have to take all your rubbish with you at the end of the week and we struggled to get it in the car, we stopped off at a service station on the way back and put the rubbish in their bins. If you're looking to get a way for a week to catch a few fish and have a bit of a social, it's ideal.

Cheers, i only use the optimate charger. It was recommended to me by bikers. The only reason I bring the batteries in during the cold months is I don't believe it does the batteries any good leaving them in the cold. I could be wrong on that point but it doesn't hurt and my batteries bar one have been going strong since 2007.
