What is a lipo cut-off?
Originally Posted by whatthefuggy. can anyone tell me what lipo cutoff is? Its a safety system that most if not all brushless esc’s have in order to protect the lipo’s from reaching a low voltage causing them to expand and catch fire etc……. Most esc’s can be programmed to diff.
What is the meaning of cut-off voltage?
In electronics, the cut-off voltage is the voltage at which a battery is considered fully discharged, beyond which further discharge could cause harm. Some electronic devices, such as cell phones, will automatically shut down when the cut-off voltage has been reached.
Which is safer LiPo or Li ion?
Which one is safer? A lithium battery generally refers to an aluminum shell battery, the electrolyte is in a liquid state, and the outer packaging material is an aluminum shell, and the lithium polymer battery is safer than the lithium battery. It is safer (no explosion) than the current popular lithium-ion battery.
What should be my Lipo cutoff voltage?
3.0V is usually considerd the minimum voltage (per cell) that a Lipo should be allowed to go to. It could actually be slightly lower than that, 2.7v or so, but the risk of perminant damage to the batterys is GREATLY increased.
What should be my Lipo cutoff for my RCU?
It could actually be slightly lower than that, 2.7v or so, but the risk of perminant damage to the batterys is GREATLY increased. Using a c/o voltage that low can easily cause the battery to not recharge and many battery chargers will not even try to charge a battery that has dropped below the 3.0V point.
How is the voltage of a LiPo battery determined?
The voltage of your battery will determine the type of ESC’s and motors that you will need to use. Lipo battery voltage is specified by the number of cells in series. Each cell has a nominal voltage 3.7 V. Different battery companies mark their lipos in different ways but most people tend to refer to their batteries as 1S, 2S, 3S, etc.
When to use a reset IC for Lipo?
You could use a reset IC like the MAX809. This will output a low level when the input voltage is below the device’s threshold. If the input voltage is higher than the threshold the output follows the input. You can use this voltage to switch an N-channel MOSFET, like the FDC653N.
