someguy152 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 i need to remember not to sweat the small stuff. that's why i think it's just better to just charge with dumb charger every time or every other time. at least it'll keep them balanced more likely than what i was doing before, trying to just do 80% and then do 100% every 10 or so times. I think i've "ruined" parts of two batteries, vs having decreased range 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xorbe Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Technically, balancing isn't required when all the cell groups are individually monitored, other than to reach pack peak charge state. When I flew R/C airplanes with lipos, we DIDN'T have cell monitoring, so we used a standalone balancer when charging. Again, the big danger is cell over-voltage during charging / fire. Though with lipos, over-draining caused cells to puff up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
