How many volts should a 3S LiPo be discharged?

Over-charging above 4.2V could be dangerous and eventually cause fire. However it’s advisable to stop discharging when it reaches 3.5V for battery health reasons. For example for a 3S Lipo, the max voltage is 12.6V, and you should land when the voltage reaches 10.5V (at 3.5V per cell).

What rate should I discharge LiPo?

You don’t want to ever fully discharge a lipo (unlike a nimh), but it is recommended to discharge to ~ 3.7 to 3.9 Volts per cell for storage if they are fully charged and not ran. Or as mentioned charge them up to that level if you’ve ran them lower. Roughly 50% of capacity.

How fast can you discharge a LiPo?

At 150W, it can discharge most FPV drone batteries in a matter of minutes. With this discharger, you can either discharge the battery completely, or set a voltage to stop the discharge (e.g. 3.80-3.85V per cell for storage). It is simple to use and even keeps all the cells balanced during the process.

What does 2S 3S LiPo mean?

This is sometimes why you will hear people talk about a “2S” battery pack – it means that there are 2 cells in Series. So a two-cell (2S) pack is 7.4V, a three-cell (3S) pack is 11.1V, and so on. In the early days of LiPo batteries, you might have seen a battery pack described as “2S2P”.

What voltage should I discharge my 2s LiPo?

Discharged – the voltage of a discharged LiPo cell is 3.00V, and discharging below this will definitely damage the cell.

Should I discharge my LiPo?

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.

What’s better 2S or 3s LiPo?

So if you have a brushless motor with a rating of 3,500kV, that motor will spin 3,500 RPM for every volt you apply to it. On a 2S LiPo battery, that motor will spin around 25,900 RPM. On a 3S, it will spin a whopping 38,850 RPM. So the more voltage you have, the faster you’re going to go.

What’s the discharge rate of a 3s 40C Lipo?

A 3S 2200maH 40C LiPo pack will get you this: 2200mAh x 40C = 88.000 mAh discharge rate 88.000 mAh / 1000 = 88 Ampere constant discharge rate. So, a 2200mAh / 40C LiPo can only handle an Ampère draw of 88A at max. So that’s why the combination capacity/discharge rate is of such importance for selecting the right LiPo for you project.

How much Lipo is in a LiPo battery?

Lipo Voltage Chart 1 A fully charged lipo voltage is 4.2V per cell (HV lipo can be charged to 4.35V). 2 A lipo cell battery should never be discharged below 3.0V. 3 The proper lipo storage voltage is 3.8V per cell. 4 A lipo cell nominal voltage is 3.7V.

How long does it take to charge a lipo 3s?

Right now I charge at 1amp just to be safe, but it takes 2 hours to charge a 3S I looked, couldn’t find anything. If someone can post a link to a thread/chart I’d appreciate it. You didn’t mention the size of your lipo but since you said 2 hours, I can guess it’s around 2000mah. (ie 2 hours implies 1/2C charge rate.)

How many volts does a 4S LiPo cell produce?

These cells deliver approx. 3.7 Volts. A 4S LiPo would therefore supply 14.8V. Apart from the cells, a discharge rate is defined by the letter ‘C’. Most batteries cases say something like “25C to 40C” discharge rate. This means that 25C is the nominal discharge rate and 40C is the maximum burst discharge rate.

It is best to have a discharge rate overhead of 30%. If you work out a maximum power system discharge of 100 amps. Your battery pack should should deliver at least 30% more or 130 total amps.

How do you discharge overcharged LiPo?

Just throw battery into a salt and water solution to slowly discharge for a couple days then once depleted dispose of normally. I definately would not try and use it. To much a risk of fire.

Is it OK to fully discharge a LiPo battery?

A LiPo fire is a chemical fire. Never discharge a LiPo battery below 3.0v per cell. Ideally you never want to go below 3.2v per cell to maintain a healthy battery. 2.9v per cell and lower is causing permanent damage.

How many amps can a LiPo discharge?

The formula for this is LiPo capacity / 100 x C value. As an example, we take a LiPo with a capacity of 1500mAh and a C value of 75C. The maximum safe discharge capacity of this LiPo is then 1500 mAh / 100 x 75 C = 112.5 amps.

What happens if you over discharge a LiPo?

When a given LiPo battery becomes over discharged, it oxidizes the cells inside of it. This oxidization of the cells is what makes them perform very poorly. Once again as we mentioned before, the longer you leave your LiPo battery in a state of discharge, the worse the condition.

Can a discharged LiPo explode?

Lipo (Lithium-polymer) batteries are huge in the RC industry. They have taken over from the old technology of Nimh (Nickel-metal hydride) and Nicad (Nickel-cadmium) batteries. They are superior in longevity and constant current but they do have there downsides. The quick answer is yes, they can explode and catch fire.

Do 3S batteries last longer than 2S?

So yes if the 3s has more voltage which 3s should then it will be faster. But if you buy a 3s 4500mah lipos and a 2s 5000mah lipo the 2s will have a longer run time.

What makes a turnigy Lipo pack so good?

What’s the best charge size for a 3s Lipo?

Best size for a 3s lipo. Holds a 98% charge even after the first few uses and should improve with use. Discharges well giving a uniform rate. Used as replacement for 450mah on lightweight profile foamy. Power to weight is ideal for small outdoor foamy.
