An alternative method is this 1S storage-charger from Tiny Whoop. It plugs into the battery and discharges it slowly to storage. The main difference is that it goes slower than most chargers, and it only does one pack at a time. For a cost of $5 each, you will probably spend less money and go faster with a series board. But the Tiny Whoop method is much simpler--just plug and forget. www.tinywhoop.com/products/tiny-whoop-1s-discharger-pw-jst2-0-battery

It is way more easy to just charge up every battery to full charge, then use the batteries for half their usual flight time before putting the batteries away for storage. The batteries will in most such cases be between 25% - 80 % and thus not take too much damage from storing. One could probably DIY some contraption were one could monitor the voltage of the battery while using battery with a motor/esc solution to get the battery at the voltage level one prefers / more exact voltage level. This can also be done on multi-cell lipos (2S and more), but that leaves the batteries unbalanced during storage. Not the biggest of problems, if one has made sure that one cell will not self-discharge to an unsafe level during storage. But for 1S batteries there is no balancing (unless you use multiple 1S batteries as cells in a multi-cell battery). So with 1S batteries I find it simpler to just use them for half their ordinary flight time, which puts them within a safe voltage level for storage.

I don't think charging batteries with different capacity in series makes any difference. What you say is completely true when building a multi-cell battery. You need to match the sizes, because when you fly a battery you use the sum of all voltage across the cells. A higher capacity cell may sit at 4.0V because it is not drained yet, while another cell could already fall at 3.0V giving you a total of 7V (3.5V average per cell) but you can see the problem with that. The smaller cell will probably die after a few such flights because you don't "balance discharge them". In charging though you can mix different capacities as long as you use the balance charge function. The charger will equalize the cells. If you charge without balance (which doesn't make sense since it is the whole point of this border it seems) it will just take longer to "balance" the higher capacity cells and I don't feel like the charger will mind that and it would be all the same for the cells I think.

@rasmus80g2 жыл бұрын
Well I think you missed one point. The balance port is only discharging and the main port is charging. That means if you do plug in batteries with different voltages it will need to discharge the ones with high voltage to be able to charge the ones with low voltage to set voltage. Basically the high voltage cell will need to go thru an extra cycle. So I would still suggest using approximately same voltage on all cells if possible. It will go faster and will create less wear on the batteries. It is definitely not as important as in parallel because nothing vill short or break. but if you can sort them out avoid to much difference that is a good thing and should be recommended. Also most chargers won't do storage on 1s so a series connection is a must on most chargers. I just soldered a 2s conversion to be able to do this on mine. If I where to create a 4s series board I would put in a switch to be able to change it between 2/3 and 4s on main port...

another vote for the fractal engineering board, much more versatile than this. first of all because you can use up to 6 batteries at once instead of just 4, and perhaps more importantly because you have a jumper to set how many you want to use, so you don't have to plug in 4 regardless as here. excellent if you have only 2 or 3 "odd" ones with different mah ratings (e.g. I only have a couple of 850mah 1S). the flying sandal is good, but the fractal engineering board is vastly superior, in my opinion

Hi Josh, Regarding reduced battery life that we usually notice much more often with 1s cells, well i would guess primarily the reason is that they're built with lower quality materials overall.... But trust me and I'm speaking from experience of more than 6 years in lipo & lion cells, the number one reason which is controllable that reduces battery life is charging end voltage and discharging end voltage, and the well known Temperature So if you want to increase the cycles of any battery you've to compensate with those factors, i would highly recommend that you test charging a normal lipo to 4.10 end voltage and see for yourself the impact on battery life And remember lihv cells generally don't last as long as normal lipos, reason being that they're primarily normal lipos with slightly modified chemistry to give broader range of use, but what you pay in return is reduced battery life due to more strain on the battery itself ( charging to full 4.20 or 4.35 incase of lihv) really push these batteries to their limits! That's what I want to highlight BTW you're doing great for the community and i love you videos, keep it up

Just a heads up, you can charge lower counts of cells with the board, you just need to make a jumper to link (in the example of 2s in a 4s board) cell 1 negative to cell 2 positive, it will fix the issue and jumper past the 2 empty positions. The XT60 is connected to only the negative of cell 1 and the positive of cell 4 in this model, so when you only connect 2 cells you have a gap between the xt60 negative and cell 3 negative and as we know the charger is trying to charge through the XT60 and balance using the balance connection.

made a cable by my own, XT30 on one side, and 3 whoop battery connctors wired to be recognised as 3s from my charger =) EDIT: 2years ago...and cost me 4$

Yeah or just put them in a fridge, low temps slow down degradation even when fully charged/discharged and it doesn't take much time for them to reheat to room temp. PS. just don't charge them until they heat up, that kills them really quick.

I’ve been doing something similar for years diy, but why hasn’t a company come out with a stand alone charger yet? If I remember right once upon a time bardwell was even talking about getting one made but abandoned it?

Yep I was trying to get a 1S charger with storage function made but so far, nothing has come of it. I guess it's harder than it seems :-/

@@JoshuaBardwell I get that, I’m working on my own that would do charge, capacity test and storage. Nothing worse then falling out of the sky 5 feet from the starting gate because the battery is shot and you don’t know it.

Hi, Joshua. I moved my mobula6 to 75mm - but unlike on all videos on internet, it just doesn't fly well. Vibrations makes it unflyable. Problem only happens when I put 4 blade 40mm props on it, with native 31m 3 blade props even on 75mm frame it flies OK. I think it would be very helpful for the beginners if you could explain what are these filters, p I d thiks mean, but in simple terms and how to set it up. I found video how to use blackbox gyro data, but unfortunately there's no blackbox on tinywhoops =( Thanks!

IDK if anyone will see this, but I wanted to say I think this videos is awesome! Thank you so much for making and posting it. I have one request, could you please comment on this process for small 2S batteries? I'm talking about 180-200mAh, 7.6V 50C 2S batteries. The use is for 150g robots but I have to purchase ones designed for tiny cinewhoops (I apologize for the noob question). Is there a product for placing them at storage voltage? Do you already have a video on it? Thank you very much for your help.

Make an adapter and use your regular charger for maintaining those. JB also has a video on how to make a harness for quickly charge balancing them

That shows the one complaint I have with my charger, the storage setting is unfortunately not a balance setting. Suggestions on what to look for when purchasing a charger to verify if does that?
@JoshuaBardwell2 жыл бұрын
The storage setting should bring all cells to 3.8 volts, effectively balancing them. At least that's how all the chargers I've used do it.

I've always storage charged to 3.85v -is 3.8v a better voltage to store at?
