Default Who is the lipo expert here?

Like the topic says. I want to build a few lipo packs and can do the basic stuff easily enough. Want to know about wiring it so I can hook a balancer like a blinky or similar..

Chris at Cheapbatterypacks builds them all day. For the balance tap, it is just a "tap" on each cell termination. A 3s pack would have 4 terminations going from most positive to most negative in order.

I work for a lithium battery company. I have experience building packs from 2 cells to 2500. If you have any specific questions about building a pack post em up or feel free to PM me.

I have been building lipos since 2003. Many hold world records. I will do a little digging. I think I wrote up a little article somewhere on how to build em.....


Found it...
Building lipos for the DYI guy... or gal.

I will update the thread with better pics, as I have a better camera now.
