Safety features
When charging the lipo battery, it is necessary to check the number of cells.The lipo charger introduced in this article will inform you of the mistake by the alert sound if you make a mistake in setting the number of cells.
If you make a mistake in the number of cells, you should choose a lipo charger with the ability to prevent charging from starting.
Current required for parallel charging
By using a parallel battery board, it is possible to charge multiple batteries of the same type at the same time.In that case, you need to choose a charger that can output the amplifier needed to charge the total capacity of the battery 1C.
Here's how it's calculated:
Battery capacity * Number of units = Required Amplifiers
