| When
the voltages of all cells in a pack are closely matched, each one can accept maximum
power during a charge…and deliver maximum power in use. What’s more,
balanced packs tend to last longer than unbalanced packs…and that means
maximum value for your battery dollar.
Tower Hobbies offers a dozen ElectriFly balanced
LiPo packs, plus the key to keeping them balanced: the Equinox™
LiPo Cell Balancer. Hook up a pack and it automatically checks for marginal
cells. Use it alone in Quick-Balance mode, and it can regulate the cell voltages
of 2-5 cell balanced LiPo packs. Interface it with a LiPo-compatible charger (or
discharger), and it will charge (or discharge) only the cells that need it! Handles
currents up to 6A in either application.
*Note: Equinox cannot be used with LiPo batteries
equipped with built-in charge protection circuits. Packs must be wired for balancing. |
