Hi All,
I have a bunch of 18650 3000mah li-ion cells doing nothing, so I want to build some packs for my drone.
I am planning to make 3s2p packs but I lack some theory for charging etc.
If I connect them in 3s 2p, I can add a battery protection board, but does that also take care of cell balancing during charge ?
These boards do not come with balance connectors. Is it a separate function ?
My lipo charger can do both , balance or non-balance. It has balance connectors and xt60. My standard drone lipo has both too.
So, If I add a battery protection board can I do without balance wires and charge without ? Or should I add balance wires as well .. ?
Advice is appreciated.
Thomas
