Much More LiPo Cell Balancer

Much More LiPo Cell Balancer

Much More have released the LiPo Cell Balancer, designed to regulate the voltages of all cells in a lithium-polymer (LiPo) packs to very tight tolerances during charge and discharge functions. As opposed to non-balanced packs, balanced LiPo’s typically provide higher total voltage, which means more power to the motor system and the packs generally last longer as no individual cell ever becomes over charged, which is a big reason why some LiPo’s perform inadequately. A good balancing system also provides a very safe charging and discharging platform, which is critical when handling LiPo batteries. Cell balancer is designed to balance LiPo packs containing anywhere from 2 to 6 cells which are assembled in series and will keep the voltages of all cells in the pack within 20mV (0.02V) of each other at all times. Much More also provide a number of adaptor cables for use with the majority of packs available currently on the market.
