How many amps can you charge a 5000mAh LiPo?

How many amps can you charge a 5000mAh LiPo?

5 Amps
Given that the battery’s capacity is 5000mAh, or 5 Amps, that means the battery can be safely charged at a maximum of 15 Amps! While it’s best to default at a 1C charge rate, always defer to the battery’s labeling itself to determine the maximum safe charge rate.

How long does a 3S 5000mAh battery last?

When you run on 3S, it is 3200kv x 12.6v = 40320 RPM. What factors in run time is the MAH rating. Either of the 5000mah packs should net you about 15mins of run time, which is perfect.

How many amps should I charge a 3S LiPo?

As a general rule, you should charge your batteries a current of 1C. So, for a 2200 mAh capacity battery, the charge rate should be 2.2 Amps and for a 1700 mAh capacity battery, the charge rate should be 1.7 Amps.

How long does it take to charge a Traxxas 3S LiPo battery?

I use this charger for a Traxxas 8400mAh 3s LiPo, and at the start the LCD readout shows me the battery is charging at slightly over one milliamp per second. This charge rate slows down later on, resulting in around an 80 minute charge time.

What does 3S mean on LiPo battery?

Typically, a LiPo battery has 3.7V for its energy. Only one cell is needed for such an amount of voltage. If it’s doubled, it will become two cells, or 2S, while the voltage will be 7.4V. So, if a LiPo battery has 3S, it means that the voltage is tripled to 11.1V.

How long does a 5000mAh Traxxas battery last?

5000mah is plenty. Quote: 20-35 minutes. depending on gearing and your driving habbits if your full throttle all the time less runtime if your doing a littl eof everything slow and fast your battery will last longer.

What battery does Traxxas Maxx use?

Traxxas recommends a 4-cell 14.8V Power Cell LiPo battery for maximum performance. A 3-cell 11.1V LiPo battery will operate the vehicle with reduced performance. NiMH batteries are not supported. Traxxas EZ-Peak Live 4s-capable charger is recommended for easy and fast charging performance (model #2971).

Is it possible to charge a 5000mAh battery with a 3C Charger?

But yes, if you have a charger with enough power (20A+) a 3C or 4C charge for a 3S 5000mAh is feasible. I missed that part. Such a low power charger is going to require a lot of patience when using such a high capacity pack.

How many amps does a LiPo battery charge?

Most LiPo batteries have a maximum charge rate of 1C, or 1 times the capacity. So, if your battery is 3000 mAh, then its max charging rate would be 3 amps. I wouldn’t recommend charging at higher rates without first verifying from the manufacturer what the max charge rating is. ALWAYS charge your LiPo battery in a fire proof charging container.

How do I safely discharge a LiPo battery?

Safely discharge the LiPo battery down as low as you can by running it, or by using a balance charger in discharge mode. Once you’ve done that, further discharge the battery by hooking up a small LED, or similar load to it. Leave the LED connected to the battery’s terminals until the light is completely out,…

What happens if you store a LiPo battery in storage mode?

Wrong. Storing LiPo batteries fully charged or fully depleted can actually damage the battery over time. LiPo batteries need to be discharged and stored with cell voltages near nominal, at 3.8v. If you haven’t used your battery in a few days, and are not planning to, it’s a good idea to put the battery in storage mode.
