LiPo Batteries Explained 

YEAH!

Huh, thought only I used that phrase.

that is the answer i was looking for 🏆

Correct. 4.35v is the high voltage level for those HV lipos, rather than 4.2v.

Fabian Restrepo lithium ion is Lipo

@@brian_zx6r False. Lipo = Lithium Polymer which is different than Lithium Ion

A lithium polymer battery, or more correctly lithium-ion polymer battery (abbreviated as LiPo, LIP, Li-poly, lithium-poly and others), is a rechargeable battery of lithium-ion technology using a polymer electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte. High conductivity semisolid (gel) polymers form this electrolyte. These batteries provide higher specific energy than other lithium battery types and are used in applications where weight is a critical feature, like mobile devices and radio-controlled aircraft.

2 cells are wired in series with 1 in parallel. It doesn't affect performance.

I got a bit confused. It has 4 cells in series and 2 in parallel.

It would have better punch but less Play time

this guy switched the meanings c= cells(3C=3 cell) S (series)is basically volts(2S=7.4 volts)

Hmm. The negative voltage simply means that your multimeter leads are inserted backwards, but that's fine. I'm not sure about the sparks, though. That doesn't sound good!

@@readysetdrone thank u very much

You don't want to use a 4S if it's only rated for a 2S, it will fry the ESCs or motor. "S" is cells and yes, a 4S is more powerful than a 2S. The mAh is milliamp hours. It has to do with how long it will run. You can change the mAh as long as you stick with the same "S" number.

Yes👍

Yes, they have drones that can fly well over 10 hours using solar cells but aren't being produced to the republic do to under private contracts for RnD

he he yeah , thats waht i noticed. too

As I understand it, the higher the C-rating, the better. The batter won't overheat, or be near its limit, and the motors/ESCs will only pull what current they need, so the higher C-rating can't do any harm to them.

I have a 3 s. 35c 5000mah. My 2wd stock slash drives about 50-60 minutes

Minimum I think traxxas recommends is 25c.

Lithium batteries

These 2 morons have no idea what the designations mean. The 'S' means series. The 3 means the number of cells in series. If you (rarely) see a 3P, it means 3 cells in parallel. A LiPo cell is usually 3.7v, so 3S is an 11.1 v battery.

They actually said that 3S means 3 cells in series.

yes, i think so, the said "s = number of cells" no "s stands for cells", check in 2.28, they actually said number of cells wired in series.

Yes - you are limited to the amount of voltage something can take, but mah can be as much as the battery can hold!

@@readysetdrone Cool thank you!

sorry but Im new to the hobby

Yes

No

That error was killing me as well. Especially when he picked up a 3s battery with 6 cells and said that it had 3 cells. Personally I think referring to battery packs by an "S" number is a disservice. Just refer to them with a nominal voltage. If you must use an "s" rating, at least use XsXp...Oh well. Overall this is a great video for beginners, even with aforementioned error it is beneficial.

cells in parallel as opposed to series. Doesn't give more voltage, but gives more run time.

C is current and s is size
