What should I charge for 4S LiPo?

LiPo 4S batteries consist of 4 LiPo cells connected in series, hence the “4S” as part of their labels. Each cell features a nominal voltage of 3.6-3.7 volts (mostly 3.7 volts), a maximum charging voltage of ~4.2 volts, and a cutoff voltage around 3.2 volts.

What is the fastest LiPo battery charger?

1. ISDT T8. The ISDT T8 is a monster of a charger with an output capacity of 1000W. It can push out up to 30A with the proper power supply, so to put that into perspective, you can parallel charge up to 23 1300 mah lipos at once!

When should I land my 4S LiPo?

So that is why the recommendation is to land when your batteries are at 3.5v per cell or greater. You may also notice that after you land and give your batteries a few moments to recover from their hard work, the voltage will recover slightly and your 3.5v battery cells may stabilize closer to 3.6v or 3.7v per cell.

When should you stop flying on a LiPo battery?

As 3.3V per cell is the lowest voltage, it’s good practice to stop discharging your LiPo further when it reaches 3.5V just to be safe. Note that when you are flying, the battery is under load, and so the voltage will sag. When you land, the voltage will come back up a little.

Are all LiPo Chargers the same?

When buying a charger you should consider what LiPo batteries it can support. Some very cheap lipo chargers will only support 2S or 3S lipos, where the fanciers ones will be able to support the full range from 1S to 6S. Other higher end chargers are also able to balance charge more than one LiPo at the same time.

Does balancing a LiPo charge it?

So when charging LiPo batteries, usually you only have to adjust to the charge current. It’s recommended to always use balance charging. Balancing chargers ensure that all the cells are charged evenly and there are no differences in voltages between them.

Is it OK not to fully charge LiPo?

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 I use a LiPo right after charging?

No problem recharging right away. The packs will continue to cool during the charging process. Been doing this for years with no issues at whatsoever. Yeah I just charge em up.
