What is the max voltage of a 3S LiPo?

What is the max voltage of a 3S LiPo?

12.6V
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 is a good storage voltage for LiPo batteries?

3.8V per cell
For the longest life of the batteries, LiPos should be stored at room temperature at 3.8V per cell. Most modern computerized chargers have a LiPo Storage function that will either charge the batteries up to that voltage, or discharge them down to that voltage, whichever is necessary.

What do the ratings on LiPo batteries mean?

The C rating for a LiPo battery, quite simply, refers to the capacity of energy the battery can safely discharge, represented as a multiple of its overall capacity. A battery that has a higher C rating delivers more energy, and that means higher performance. That’s the same capacity and twice the amp draw.

Can I put a higher voltage battery in my RC car?

You are free to increase the voltage of the battery you use in your RC, but you need to make sure that that voltage is within the limits of the range specified by your user manual. If you neglect to check this, you may damage your RC vehicle beyond repair.

What does 4S battery mean?

Battery Voltage 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. So the more voltage you have, the faster you’re going to go.

Can you charge LiPo with just balance lead?

Parallel Charging with Only Balance Leads All it takes is a “balance to discharge” adapter. Simply connect it to one of the slots on the parallel charging board. Then you can connect the LiPo to the rest of the slots, with only the balance port, and you can charge them as normal!

At what voltage should I stop flying?

Understanding Battery Voltage As 3.3V per cell is the lowest voltage, it’s good practice to stop discharging your LiPo further when it reaches 3.5V just to be safe. Note that when you are flying, the battery is under load, and so the voltage will sag. When you land, the voltage will come back up a little.

At what capacity should you store LiPo batteries when not being used?

between 3.6 V to 3.8 V
Assuming that you are using typical LiPo batteries that hold a full charge of 4.2 V per cell, then you should be targeting a storage voltage between 3.6 V to 3.8 V, corresponding to roughly 85% to 90% of the battery’s full capacity.

What is the C rating on batteries?

The battery C Rating is the measurement of current in which a battery is charged and discharged at. The capacity of a battery is generally rated and labelled at the 1C Rate (1C current), this means a fully charged battery with a capacity of 10Ah should be able to provide 10 Amps for one hour.

How fast should you discharge a LIPO battery?

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.

Do LiPo batteries make RC cars faster?

If you upgrade from a NiMH or NiCD battery to a LiPo you will almost assuredly notice an increase in the acceleration and top speed of your RC car. Even if you just upgrade from an older LiPo to a newer one you will still probably see a significant increase in the speed of your RC car.

What is the nominal voltage of a LiPo battery?

Cell Configuration A battery is constructed from rectangular cells which are connected together to form the battery. A cell which can be considered a battery in itself, holds a nominal voltage of 3.7V. By connecting more of these in series, the voltage can increase to 7.4V for a 2 cell battery, 14.8V for a 4 cell battery and so on.

What does the p stand for on a LiPo battery?

“P” stands for the number of cells in parallel. 2S1P means “2 cells in series and 1 cell in parallel.” If a battery doesn’t have a “P” then it is assumed to be “1P.” So 2S1P and 2S are the same thing. 3S2P means “3 cells in series and 2 cells in parallel.”

How many LiPo batteries are in a 7.4v battery?

For the 7.4V Lipo battery above, that means that there are two cells in series (which means the voltage gets added together). This is sometimes why you will hear people talk about a “2S” battery pack – it means that there are 2 cell lipo batteries in Series. So a two-cell (2S) pack is 7.4V, a three-cell (3S) pack is 11.1V, and so on.

What does 1300mAh mean on a LiPo battery?

As you know, the voltage influence the power of the motor of battery, and the power has an impact on the RPM of the motor, that means speed. So in some racing, pilots need the batteries are of high voltage to meet the needs of their rc model to get a high burst. The 1300mAh on the picture means the capacity of the lipo battery.
