  Information about LiPo batteries

  Depending on the manufacturer, the service life is specified as 300 to 600 charging cycles. In addition, LiPo batteries have no memory effect, meaning they largely retain their capacity throughout their entire service life, with only a slight loss of around 20%. However, this service life is shortened if they are not stored at a storage voltage of 3.8V per cell. The battery should therefore be charged to this voltage after each use.

  Charging LiPo batteries

  When you buy a LiPo battery, it must first be charged. It is important to ensure that the charger is compatible with the LiPo battery. This information can usually be found on the charger, on the packaging or in the manual. If you have a suitable charger, you must know the correct settings for charging the battery.

  It is essential to understand the meaning of the information on the battery: A LiPo battery consists of at least one cell, typically 3.7 volts. The "S" value indicates the number of cells. A 2S battery, therefore, has 7.4 volts (or 7.6 volts for a high-voltage battery). The current rating in amperes shows how much current the battery can supply.

  What is the C value? 

  The "C" value is an important factor for charging and discharging. It indicates how much current can be drawn from the battery for a short time. To do this, the ampere value is multiplied by the "C" value. In simple terms, A battery with 6000mAh and 50C can deliver up to 300 A at the output. It is said that the higher the C value, the more pressure (punch) the battery provides when riding on the track!

  Safety - an important issue

  LiPo batteries require special safety precautions. Many people have heard of exploding batteries. Common causes are overcharging or mechanical damage. To minimize the risk, you should always use a LiPo charger with the correct settings. It is also advisable to charge the battery in a LiPo safe bag and store it in this bag at the correct storage voltage.

  How do I store LiPo batteries?

  Storing LiPo batteries correctly is crucial to prolonging their service life. If they are stored for more than two weeks either empty or fully charged, this can severely affect their performance and service life. When not in use for longer periods (more than one week), use a programmable charger to bring the battery to storage voltage in storage charge mode. If no such device is available, charge the battery for about half the time that would normally be required for a full charge.
