What is the advantage of LiPo batteries?
The main advantages of LiPo battery cells are that they have about four times the energy of density of nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride batteries. LiPo batteries are very lightweight and pliable, and can be made to almost any size or shape.
How do LiPo batteries work?
Working principle Just as with other lithium-ion cells, LiPos work on the principle of intercalation and de-intercalation of lithium ions from a positive electrode material and a negative electrode material, with the liquid electrolyte providing a conductive medium.
What is 4S LiPo battery?
Battery Voltage A LiPo cell has a nominal voltage of 3.7V, and a lipo cell = 1 cell = 1S = 3.7V. This is sometimes why you will hear people talk about a “4S” battery pack – it means that there are 4 cells in Series. So a four-cell (4S) pack is 14.8V, a three-cell (3S) pack is 11.1V, and so on.
What is the difference between 3S and 4S LiPo?
Obviously, the biggest difference is the voltage delivered to the motors. A 3S Lipo has a nominal voltage of 11.1V or 12.6V when fully charged, while a 4S Lipo has a nominal voltage of 14.8V and 16.8V at full charge. That means the motor spins approximately 28,900 times a minute without any propellers.
How long can you leave LiPo batteries fully charged?
2-3 days
Never leave your LiPo batteries sitting around on a full charge for more than 2-3 days. If by the 3rd day you realize you are not going to use your battery today, you need to discharge your battery down to 3.6v-3.8v per cell for safe storage until you are ready to use the battery again.
Is Lithium-ion the same as LiPo?
A lithium-ion polymer (LiPo) battery (also known as Li-poly, lithium-poly, PLiON, and other names) is a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a polymer electrolyte in the liquid electrolyte used in conventional Li-ion batteries. All use a high conductivity gel polymer as the electrolyte.
What do the numbers mean on LiPo batteries?
What does the C rating mean on Lipo batteries, example: (10C, 20C, 35C ect.) “C” rating is the allowable amp draw of the battery. It relates to discharge limits of the Lipo battery. The higher “C” number means that the battery is capable of taking a higher discharge load without causing damage to the battery.
What is the best Lipo Charger?
YoCoo battery balance charger is the best LiPo charger for 2-cell and 3- cell LiPo batteries. The device has an overcharging detection protection that keeps your LiPo batteries safe. You can only charge one LiPo battery at once.
What are LiPo batteries made of?
The Anode: the anode of the LiPo batteries is constructed using; aluminum foil current collector.
What is the storage voltage for LiPo batteries?
Lipo Storage Voltage. The ideal voltage to store your Lipos is at 3.7 volts per cell. That means that if it’s a 2 cell 7.4 pack store it exactly at 7.4 or slightly higher.
