Re: Windcamp WLB 817 - recharge with a charger for LIPO


 

The papers you gave the link to applies to that type battery ONLY.
Each different type of Lithium battery takes a different charge voltage as well as current.
The types of chargers we use in the RC Field has settings for most of the varieties, LiIon, Li-Poly and other Lithium?chemistries.
The types of Chargers we use are CPU controlled with software settings for the type batteries that is being charged.
The Li-Ion battery in the Windcamp? kit or those made like it that are made for the FT-817 have a controller PCB that not only charges the battery but also protects it from over charging and from over discharging the cells.?
That type of system requires a constant and regulated voltage and current.
Again that is due to the control board attached to the battery. A battery without a control board requires a specific charger made for it
Also the "C" rating of the battery has to be considered when charging. The "C" rating of a battery is used to determine the charging current used.
Our RC Club and others in RC has used multiple types of Lithium batteries and Chargers for over 10 or more years.
May I suggest to anyone who does not really know how to use, charge or handle any of the Lithium types of batteries contact your local Radio Control Club members. We or they have used, charged and handled these batteries for many years. We do not know everything due to many new Lithium chemistries being used in new batteries, but we do keep up on them.
If you intend to use them also, PLEASE, make sure you use the appropriate Chargers, charging containers and know how to handle them.
They ARE dangerous. No matter the Chemistry.
