How to avoid over-discharging of lipo batteries?
Over-discharging can permanently damage lipo batteries. When using batteries, make sure to install a low voltage alarm or set low voltage protection on the electronic speed controller (ESC) of the car model. When the voltage drops to 3.0V-3.2V per unit, stop using and charge.
How to charge lipo batteries safely?
When charging, use a dedicated lipo battery charger and choose the appropriate charging mode (such as 2S, 3S, etc.). Make sure to monitor the battery while charging and do not leave the battery unattended. To avoid overcharging, the best way is to use a charger with a balancing function to ensure that the voltage of each battery cell is consistent.
Why do lipo batteries bulge?
Lipo battery bulging is usually caused by overcharging, over-discharging, overheating or damage. Bulging batteries are no longer safe and may cause explosions or fires. Bulging batteries should be stopped immediately and safely disposed of in accordance with local battery disposal regulations.
