Lipo Info (from
MaxAmps)
Connection: You must be sure that the correct polarity is observed when
connecting battery packs to charger or ESC.
RED = POSITIVE (+)
BLACK = NEGATIVE (-)
===
SURGE WATTS:
The “surge watts” of your battery must be higher than the “surge watts”
of your motor. The motor’s “surge watts” should be found in the
instruction manual or on the motor manufacturer’s website. Most motor
manufacturers including Castle Creations and Novak rate their motors by
maximum “surge watts”.
===
Charging/Discharging:
Charge your lipo battery pack at 5C or less on a lipo approved charger
only. If you choose to charge at any rate higher than 1C, you must use
a balance charging system similar to the Hyperion chargers offered here
at MaxAmps. Otherwise you risk your pack becoming severely out of
balance over time, which in turn will significantly decrease the
lifespan.
Ex: If charging a 4000mah lipo pack at 1C, you would be charging it at
4 Amps.
Ex: If balance charging a 4000mah lipo pack at 5C, you would be
charging it at 20 Amps.
===
Storage:
If you don’t plan on using your lipo pack for longer than a week, store
it at 50-60% of the pack’s rated capacity. Make sure to cycle and/or
balance your packs at least once per month since leaving them on the
shelf for a prolonged period of time can cause the packs to get
severely out of balance or even go dead. NOT!!!!
Move the + line of the fan to the + of the receiver connection at the
ESC. It's 6 volts all the time!!!
