You dah man, good figures there.

I'm not going to have much work to do if ou keep it up Ice!!!

I just got the LiPo shield and the cell balancer. The LiPo shield is a tiny little thing, its about the size of a dime. The cell balancer is a sky holic and has me a little baffled. Guess I have to read the directions....

[sjslhill]

Which balancer did you get?

[ice329]

It's the Sky Holic balacer guard. Do I actually charge threw this thing? The plug that goes into the battery tap is understandable. I just wasnt sure if you charge threw it or what.

I have no idea....have never seen one. What does it tell you to do?

Just ordered my first set. I went with the 7.4 3600mah packs.With the 16c rating I am going to test them in series starting on a factory prop. Look for the data starting next weekend.

Isnt that LiPo shied small... What balacer did you get? Let me know where you hook up your LiPo shield battery leads. Not sure if I want to put the whole unit in the radio box or outside it. Where to hook the battery leadys easily. Use a conector of some type or solder it to the deans. desisions desisions

What balacer did you get?

PolyQuest Li-poly Balancer/Overcharge protector
Features :

1. Cell balancing and Overcharge protection : High performance micro processor protects overcharging and controls cell balancing. Continuously discharge overcharged cells and charge undercharged cells. Automatically stops charging when each cell is fully charged.

2. Cell status indicators : The status of each cell is indicated by LED. High voltage cells: Flashing red LED, Low voltage cells : LED Off

3. Err/Check Indicator : 3 connectors are provided with balancer for 2Cell, 3Cell and 4Cell Li-Poly. Sold Green means correct connector and correct Li-Poly pack is used. Green LED flashed when unmatched connector is used. For example, Err/Check Led flashes when 2S connector is used for 3S Li-Poly





How to use:

1. Use supplied connectors(Adaptor) for 2S, 3S and 4S Li-Poly. Directly connect 5S Li-Poly to balancer.

2. Err/Check LED goes off when charging is in progress

3. When charging is in progress, cell indicator for each cell is continuously blinking or stay off. Blinking LED means high voltage cell and turned off LED means low voltage cell.

4. Err/Check LED turns on when charge is done.



Err/Check indicator : Green LED blinks on the following situation

1. Any one of the cell in the Pack is overcharged (Voltage is over 4.25 Volts)

2. Any one of the cell in the Pack is dead (Voltage is under 2.5Volts)

3. When input voltage to balancer is over 22V

I asked about the balacer I got yesterday. Its a Sky-Holic 2-4 cell Balancer guard. I was a little confused but its simple as pie to use. Plug the LiPo packs tap into the balacer and plug the balacer into the charger and charge as normal. The balancer just does its thing during the charge and when charge is over just leave the balancer connected to the tap and when the green lights stop and the red conditioned light is on there done.

I just wasnt sure if you actually charged threw it or not but you do.
