What does 6S mean on a LiPo battery?
The voltage in LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries is determined based on the number of cells they have and we can easily identify this by referring to the “S” count. Each LiPo cell is rated at 3.7v so a 2S LiPo means it’s a 2 cell battery and 7.4v, a 3S is 11.1v, 4S is 14.8v and 6S is 22.2v.
How long does a 6S LiPo battery last?
Usually around 35-45 mins general hard bashing on tarmac or gravel on a 4000mAh 6s.
How many volts is a 6S LiPo?
A 6s battery would have a maximum charged voltage of 25.2v. And the more voltage you have, the faster an electric motor will spin. Which is also why it is important to pair the right rpm motor with the right battery voltage.
How many amps is a 6S LiPo?
For a 6S LiPo (22.2V), the same 100-watt charger will deliver 4.5 amps.
How long will a 5000mah LiPo last?
Either of the 5000mah packs should net you about 15mins of run time, which is perfect. If you need more, buy more packs. Bigger MAH packs will be heavy and affect handling.
Can I use a 4S battery on a 6S drone?
Whilst a 6S drone with a 6S battery, in most cases, would be quite overpowered for a beginner, a 4S battery on a 6S drone would not. The lower voltage battery would reduce the maximum motor speed, slowing down the drone to a manageable pace.
Can you overcharge a LiPo battery?
Never overcharge a LiPo battery. Typically a full charge is 4.2v 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.
What amp should I charge my LiPo battery at?
As a general rule, you should charge your batteries a current of 1C. So, for a 2200 mAh capacity battery, the charge rate should be 2.2 Amps and for a 1700 mAh capacity battery, the charge rate should be 1.7 Amps.
What rate should I charge my LiPo?
1C
The safest charge rate for most LiPo batteries is 1C, or 1 x capacity of battery in Amps.
