These 8S 29.6v MaxAmps LiPo batteries are built with eight LiPo cells in series. As with all our LiPo pouch batteries, they are assembled in the USA by our Battery Builders here at MaxAmps.
What does 8S mean in batteries?
The “8S” indicates that there are 8 cells in series and the “1P” indicates that there are no paralleled cells. If each cell is 10 amp hours and 3.3 volts, the battery pack above would be 10 amp hours and 26.4 volts (3.3 volts x 8 cells).
Are Lipos better than lithium?
Advantages of the LiPo battery
It is safe from explosion, unlike Li-Ion battery. It does not lose its charging capacity as fast as a Li-Ion battery. Hence its life span is greater than 1000 times which is higher than a Li-Ion battery. Its charging time is very short.
What is the fastest LiPo battery?
The 150C Dual Core pack offers the highest performance of any RC Car lipo battery available in the world.
Is there an 8S battery? – Related Questions
What is the lifespan of a LiPo battery?
Much shorter lifespan; LiPos average only 150–250 cycles. The sensitive chemistry can lead to a fire if the battery gets punctured. Need special care for charging, discharging, and storage.
How many years do LiPo batteries last?
Assuming you stored them at the correct storage voltage, your battery is probably safe to use. But LiPo batteries are sensitive and while they can last more than four years sitting on a shelf, temper your expectations. and at a voltage of around 50% of full charge (3.6 to 3.7v),” said tech entrepreneur Phil Strazzulla.
Can I store a LiPo at full charge?
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.
Can you revive a LiPo battery?
When the total voltage is equal to about 3.3 volts per cell you can move the battery over to your LiPo balance charger and balance charge at 0.5C rating. This will take longer than charging at 1C but is safer. Once the balance charge has completed balancing you should have a fully recovered LiPo battery.
What battery is better than LiPo?
3. High power. Both lithium-ion and lithium-poly batteries are suitable with high and robust power usages. However, lithium-ion batteries are more efficient and popular than lithium-polymer.
When should I replace my LiPo battery?
LiPo batteries don’t have an expiry date printed on them, but from my personal experience, new batteries almost always perform better than old batteries, even when they just sit there and not being used much. I generally find batteries that are 12 to 18 months old to start showing noticeable drop in performance.
When should you throw away LiPo batteries?
Checking Voltage
Before throwing the battery out, you want to check there is no charge left in it (voltage is close to 0V). Note that most battery checkers don’t work well when voltage drops below 3V per cell, and will report “no cell present”.
How long does a 1000 mAH LiPo battery last?
A 1000 mAH battery bearing a load of 500 mAH will last for about 2 hours. Similarly, if your load is 2000 mAH then it would only last for 30 minutes. A 5000 mAH battery is quoted to last for about 20-25 minutes depending on the driving speed and your driving habits.
How long will a 2s 5000mah LiPo last?
20-35 minutes. depending on gearing and your driving habbits if your full throttle all the time less runtime if your doing a littl eof everything slow and fast your battery will last longer. 5000mah is plenty.
Can I LiPo same area twice?
Is it dangerous to have liposuction twice? You can have the procedure done to the same area several times, however, it is important to give your body at least 6 months to recover. The risk of irregular and uneven results increases with each procedure.
Do I need to balance charge a LiPo every time?
For maximum health, you should always balance charge your batteries. This is also why your 2 cell or greater LiPo battery has a second plug on it. This second plug is called the balance plug and is used by your charger to individually monitor and balance charge each cell.
What’s better 2s or 3s LiPo?
It can be seen that 3s can provide more current to the motor, so C- The higher the rate, the stronger the power. 3s battery provides faster driving speed for RC car. Compared to the 2s, when doing the same job, the 3s battery consumes less current, reducing the burden on the battery and giving it a longer lifespan.
Should you charge LiPo 100%?
Charging li-po to 100% and leaving it there (storage) is a bad idea. Discharging it to 0% and leaving there (storage) is a Very Bad idea.. Otherwise charging it to 100% and using it is normal. All modern cellphones have BMS and won’t allow the battery to overcharge.
Is higher C rating LiPo better?
Not only does a higher C rating provide better performance but it also provides higher reliability for ESC’s. Simply monitoring temperature (should be doing this already) upon any change in your setup and confirming it is within spec will guarantee reliability.
What amp should I charge my LiPo at?
Generally, you want to charge batteries on 1C, or the same as the mAh rating of the battery. So if you have a 1.3 Ah battery pack, charging it at 1.3 amps is considered charging at 1C.
How balanced should a LiPo be?
Balancing simply ensures all the cells in a 2S or higher cell count LiPo battery pack are all at the same voltage potential; within about 0.02 volts (20 millivolts) of each other at the end of the charge cycle.
