Charging 6 Lipo Batteries With One Charger

User-inserted image

I found this interesting accessory to charge up to 6 batteries lipo 2-6 elements connected in parallel, this accessory allows us to have multiple batteries in the robot and the charging charger all at once. Example: 4 batteries (3s) 5000mah in parallel = (3s) 20000mah (20A) The smart charger to charge a battery program 3s 5amp, each battery receives 1.25 amps, charging time approximately 4 hours. Make sure that the batteries are all the same, same number of elements, same capacity in amperes, and that all elements are in good shape. I found interesting to share with the community because every time we are but what we use lipo batteries. Even practical to incorporate smart charger robot and automatic coupling stations for charging lipos. There are several models of this accessory for various connectors of the batteries, some with fuse protection and different prices. In addition to the large 20 amp smart chargers, you could make the battery charge in the previous example in 1 hour (20 amp / 4 = 5 amps):)

True, 200 amps is a lot of juice but for those robots running several screens, on board pc, heavy duty motors etc. etc. etc. those 1440 watts could soon be swallowed up. If 50,000mAh is required I'd assume it's going to have either very high demand or a very lazy operator.

But you are right, it's going to be a lot of juice and plenty for most applications.

If you want a cheaper (ie <$60) 11.1v Lipo and 10C each is ok. LINK

Ok great , I know you wanted to sort of test it out a while since it wasn't a popular name brand.

Yeah, but its cheaper though. I will buy two. Of course I had not been able to test it out as you know.
