Killers of lipo battery

2020-01-02

What do you think is the biggest cause for failure in lipo battery ? Crashes? Over discharge? Although there are a fair number that likely see this unfortunate end what it actually comes down to is lack of use. Lipo batteries are designed to be used. When they sit for long periods they build up internal resistance. After a while the pack will develop dead spots. At this point the pack can puff on the shelf, during the next charge, or on its next use. So how do you avoid this? Cycling (charging and discharging) your packs if they are not being used will keep your cells fresh and your pack working. Again a lot of today’s smart chargers have a cycle option which will do most of the work for you. You should cycle your pack once a month if you do not use it in your product. If you are not going to play for a while set a reminder to cycle your packs once a month on your smart phone.


The other big killer in our experience is experimentation. Someone reads on a forum somewhere that if they drop the pinion down a couple of teeth the will have more torque. This may be true but there is/was a reason it was geared the way it was and although some modifications work perfectly, others don’t. Heat buildup is the enemy of electronics and an incorrect gearing change can easily lead to this type of failure. If you have an unlimited budget by all means test away. Otherwise, confirm with multiple trusted sources before you make a gearing change that could ruin your ESC, Motor, or battery.


Finally we come to the more exciting killer of lipo batteries is Crash damage! For more attention for use of lipo batteries, please contact us with www.fellotech.com.
