tcr1016 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 My hoverboard has 16 (18650) batteries. Is there a good charger that has auto shutoff like the ones used in RC and a battery balance? Most I have seen have a 6 cell limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoe73 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The batteries have charging/balancing circuitry built in on a circuit board called a BMS (battery management system). You just just give the BMS the correct input voltage and it will handle the charging/balancing/auto shut off for you. To bypass the BMS and charge the cells separately you would need 16 individual wires to balance each cell, just as in RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
