Hello All,
I have a 3 Typhon Mega V3s that I'm slowly upgrading (me and my sons just got these for xmas). I purchased a couple of 2s, 5200mAh, 50C LiPos to use with the stock setup to have more batteries/more power & Capacity. I have a few questions/concerns about LiPos and wanted to get your guys input:
1 - How do I know what the actually capacity is so that I can charge at 1C (or is it safe for me to just assume that these are 5200mAh, and use 5.2A charge)?
2 - if these are all the same specs, should they balance or charge from used (after a run) at about the same rate (with about the same mAh used to get to those points)?
3 - the stock ESC has "Low Voltage Cut-Off (LVC) = 3.2V per cell", is that too low?
4 - Can I safely store these (like overnight/for a few days) somewhere when balanced charged and not worry about them burning up, or should I always have them somewhere fireproof?
5 - Can I expect that the my brand new balance charger is calibrated correctly and that when it ways it's charged to 4.2v per cell that it's actually correct (or really close and within accepted tolerances)? Also, can I trust the IR (Internal Resistance Number)? Also, how close should the IR of each cell be (or what numbers should they be within)?
Here is the Batteries and Charger that I got:
Zeee 5200mAh, 50C, 2S
ISDT D2 Mark II Charger
Sorry about so many question/concerns, but I've just had a hard time finding good information about my question. Any links to good documents or information is greatly appreciated, as well as any advice.
Thank you,
MZA
