I had taken off the rubber grips to hold something small earlier and didnt cover them, ive changed so many xt60s this way but always had the rubber tips on my alligator clips, no damage but a little scarey.dont be dumb like me m'kaaay.

  • @propsoff

    @propsoff

    3 жыл бұрын

    So for lipo packs we run them to 3.5v per cell and consider this voltage to be done or 0%.. A fully charged lipo cell is normally 4.2v or 100%.. You can create a scale from these base numbers.. The reason you have different voltage over each cell is due to internal resistance (IR). For example, a 4s lipo may show 3.55v, 3.57v, 3.49v, 3.52v after a full send. Each cell is in series circuit and depending how close the IR is matched is how close the lipo cells will discharge. I found quality or more expensive lipos like Tattu lipos are matched very close at the factory vs a cheap one - my opinion. Sure hope that helps you.. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

    Switch your meter leads around. If the positive lead is on the negative pole and your negative lead is on the positive pole, you'll get a negative symbol on your meter screen. It's just showing you the polarity of the circuit. However, if you have the leads on the correct pole, something isn't wired right.

    When you started to check each cell separately, you need to explain and show what you are demonstrating because, you know what you are talking about and assume that everybody else does. It's like a guitar player talking about harmonic tuning, he is assuming that you know what he is talking about leaving anybody that does not clueless and in the dark. It needs to be explained and close ups would be nice. You need to slow down, are in a rush, late for a date?
