Understanding your Lipo Batt

[Gnahznay]

Oh, i checked the Li-po voltage and it shows 1.81V... and the chargers shows that my balancer is at 1.79V...

Can anyone advise on the use of Li-Ion instead of Lipo?

What type if LithiumION? Standard LiCO or LiFEPO4 (eg A123)

Hi,

I recently charged the EMAX Li-Po battery that came with the Cessna 182 i bought using Tahmazo T15plus charger in the lab. However, when i plug it in, the charger shows an error message of "balancer voltage is too low". I ask the lab tech and he say the balancer must have 3~4.2V if not the battery is spoiled. Is that true? Is there anyway i can salvage the problem or I need to get a new one for my project?

Your charger is unable to rescue your pack as a cel is under voltage. Some of the better chargers can fix this problem of undervoltage cells

Can recommend which charger can do that?

well I'll have to say any of the revolectrix models we make in Singapore. you can some and test one out. sure hyperion can do also but the el cheapo ones definitey won;t

lipo running in

fyi guys
i have been hearing all these stories from walk in customers to out office about running in batteries.
can confirm hundred percent that there is no such need. buy, charge and play.
lithium electrochemistry does not need running in. if anything you are merely shortening the life cycle than anything else. anwone who tells you that you need to run-in lipo packs either had bad quality packs that have not been through a proper formation process or does not know what they are on about. happy flying guys
