Ultimate LiPo battery charging guide! 2023. How to charge lipo battery

Hi AUssie MATE!!!!!! 🦘

Great advice as always,thank you for sharing. oh i got 2 our 2nd learn to fly vid and scored a dead motor, month later finished my 1st 5 inch ,5or 6th time setting it up ,plugged it in to motor test in betaflight fizz done the fc...all fun cant wait till im goin again.Peace!

If you charge a 1300mah under 1.3a is that OK or not recommended?

Will the storage mode identify if the battery is charged either below or above that storage level, and, most importantly, if it's above, discharge it to the needed level? Or will it fust charge it up?

Thanks for that mate much appreciated

This was so helpful! I watch videos of rc cars because I want to start getting into the hobby and they rumble off a bunch of numbers and I never knew what anything meant! Now I understand a lot better! Very informative!

Which lipo charger has a recycle battery mode?

I have a 5000 amp hour , 5s, 18.5 V lipo battery. Can someone please help me understand how to charge it 😅. I have an accucell 6 80Watt charger, and I'm worried that my battery has to much wattage for the charger. Can someone help me understand how I should go about charging them?

Thanx, you saved me from burning my house down 😂

Great advice I've sent this to my friends who ask me about charging thanks!

I don’t understand balancing why choose balance charge over charge?

I have a question about storage charging.
Do you mean that you should charge the batteries before you put them in storage.
Or should the be connected to a charger when they are stored away?

Oh shoot, my old Lipo batteries with my air rifle and then put them into the bin

And AmpHours. Big difference with 4s and 6s, same capacity almost. Just did my first 4s build and ill see if i can feel the weight or less control from my 1550s and a 2000. I.e. I found out (by looking) the 1550 4s are 22.94 WH while my 1600 6s is 35.52. 2000 4s at 29.6 🤔

I didn't know how MUCH I missed your videos, until you came back!!💯😅...
PLEASE don't leave us again!!!

Great Video but I am still confused. But perhaps you can help me further.
I have a Lipo battery for my Yuneec Q 500 Typoon 4K drone. It is a 5400mAh battery at 11.1 volts.
if I understand you correctly, I should charge the battery at 5.4 amps. It is a 3s battery
Thanks in advance

Very helpful

Great video.

You didn't touch on the Watt-hour (Wh) parameter. What is its purpose? How does one go about selecting it, and so on? Essentially, I'd appreciate an explanation similar to how you've clarified the other parameters.

Thanks!

Can you charge a lipo battery with lithium ion charge??

I have be struggling to work out what all the lipo stuff is

This video makes it all easy 👌

Fast charging is fine. Just not all the time. Its hard on lithium ion batteries too. I have an electric scooter that slow charges in 6 hours, but i can fast charge it in 3 hours. I will fast charge it sometimes, but not all the time. Id say fast charging a fast charging capable lipo is fine today compared to years past. They are designed to be fast charged. But you are lowering the life of the batteries doing it all the time.

still needs time stamps but great vid, thanks

Thanks Stew :)

Hey stu here’s a dad joke for you. I don’t think I’m attractive but every time I get undressed in the bathroom I turn the shower on!

Can I charge a Lipo using only the balance lead?

great video. used to do FPV. but now i have gottem my self into RC crawlers. so needed a refresher on chargeing.
Good to see your still doing there videos.

How much voltage do the lipo charger needs to be able to charge the lipo battery?

Please, how much can I purchase the lipo battery and the charger

Wish you had showed how to charge a 650 2s hv

Hello Stew, You held up the 1s charger and stated it was the best, your go to 1s charger, but you didn't say the name of the brand? Please tell me what it is and where I can purchase it? Many thanks and kind regards, Tony.

Great video, thank you. Adding timecodes would be great

Great video thank you😊

Thanks for the video , I knew most of it but always good to get up dates info, I wanted to ask does race day quads ship battery’s to Australia?

Liked for the info, subscrided for the shirt🤌

Great video Stu 👍🏻💜🤘🏻

whats with the 1s hate! they're just SOO000 cheap and expendable, buy them in packs like beer and toss the cans out the window.. /s
Battery education is good tho, easiest way to have the worst consequences; 'preciate it.

I never would have imagined you as an axe murderer! 😂😎
Great video. Thank you!

hey stew. been following for many years and you got me started, since 2017 actually. I kind of got hooked and bought a house with 5 arcres in QLD. the missus didnt know my motivation was for the fpv park i now have. from your latest vids and new place, i bet you also fly while laying in bed of a morning :} hppe you got those blues uder control. I still watch all your vids mate so keep it up. cheers Baza

Perfect, more of the experienced / veterans of the hobby should do this some forget about the beginners struggling out there. Thanks Stu.

PLEASE TELL ME YOUR BACK FOR GOOD NOW I'VE MISSED YOUR LAND DOWN UNDER TIP

You should be in the corner for that one.

Great vid as always. And I don't have an uncle bob.

Nice work, man! I am a :vet" flyer and know this stuff. However, this video has become my virtual index card for reference. It is also the video I will point new flyers to when they need some basic battery discipline education. Sweet vid!

Stew, you have always been an inspiration to us and more to those coming into the hobby. Your video on batts and charging is spot on! We miss ya Stew and hope that you continue to make these stellar videos!

Great Video Stew!
When it comes to 1S batteries, the ViFly WhoopStor 2 is a pretty full feature charger.
It has 6 ports (not parallel charging), accommodates either PH 2.0 or BT 2.0 batteries and has a storage charge feature.
So when whoop season is over, you can save your batteries a bit for a rainy day.

Great explainer. I will revisit this often.

I know this video isnt ground breaking or terribly exciting but I hope it helps some new people to the hobbyl, happy flying

Great video one love

❤❤
