Hi to all,
Sorry in advance for the long post.
First some information.
I have just received my TY-H pro package (factory refurbished)
Whatever that means, I'm not sure, but it LOOKS brand new, and I am assuming that it was supplied to the retailer here in Oz from Yuneec in the USA. It would have taken a couple of weeks to transit US to Oz, sat for an undetermined period of time in the retailer, a week to be delivered to me....
So, I have no idea as to battery state on leaving the US nor when the batteries were charged.
I have a brand new Skyrc D100 V2 dual charger and 2 adaptor cables with balance cables to attach the battery to the charger.
All batteries are Yuneec 5400(!)
On attaching battery #1 I got the following readings, all cells 4.17v, total 16.67; IR c1-13, c2-9, c3-8, c4-9,total 38.
Battery #2 gave the following, c1-3 4.17, c4 4.16, total 16.66; IR c1-4, c2-2, c3-3, c4-3, total 12.
I'm guessing here that battery #1 has seen some use and battery #2 is new...just a guess!!!
I have 2 New batteries en route as we speak and I assume I will get similar readings to Batt #2.
To clarify, Is 5amps a safe setting on the D100 for charging the batteries??
What is the safe ampere setting when programming for storage??
This next question is a trick one for me...
If a LiPo battery self discharges, why lower the voltage to a "storage" level
If it self discharges from storage setting it won't take very long to self discharge to an undesirable, possibly unrecoverable level. yes/no?????
I'm confused on this point!!!
Having read the article about LiPo's in another thread I'm assuming that Batt#1 is starting to degrade.
Is there any way to reverse the build up of LiO2 in the battery??
All and any answers by any in the know would be very much appreciated, especially those using Yuneec batteries and a D100 charger
OH, also one more question (only one? they all say)
If I program the settings for batt #1 into the D100 memory can I use that for all the Yuneec batteries or do I need to set a separate memory for each battery??
Thanks for all your advice
Cheers all
Pete
