Title: How to charge 110mah lipo weighing 3 gm. Post by: abhay on February 26, 2011, 12:31:21 AM Hello Everyone.
i have obtained lipo batteries for a robotics competition. Specifications: Lipo Volts=3.7 v Current=110 mah Weight=3 gms approx. I have obtained these from i pod. i need some alternative circuits to charge these batteries. Such batteries are not common in scale flying. I m planning to make a dragonfly(scale 1:1), so im in search of a micro rx as well. Thanks, Regards, Abhay Singh Title: Re: How to charge 110mah lipo weighing 3 gm.

The third one has got a replacement battery, which has been recently replaced under warranty.But I-pod stopped working the fourth day warranty got over :banghead: . However i have seen the power of such batteries, and had flown a non rc electric glider using pager motor, which never came back to me. Title: Re: How to charge 110mah lipo weighing 3 gm. Post by: KALYANPRODHAN on February 26, 2011, 06:18:22 AM This LiPOs are sold in Electronics Spare shop @ 100/- to 150/-. 200mAh LiIon cells are sold @Rs45/-. This rates are from Chandni Chowk and you may can get with some extra cost from your nearest TV/Radio mechanics shop. They are have the protection circuit builtins. PM me your address and I can send you a small of such circuit PCB complete and you then can use any charger that will save you from overcharging. Better always keep multimeter which I Prefer.
Just use a mobile charger with 100 Ohm resistance in series.(1/4 Watt) Check the Polarity please. You may use 100Ohm(1/2 watt) resistance series from 6 Volt Lead-Acid Battery for competition site charger. Title: Re: How to charge 110mah lipo weighing 3 gm. Post by: abhay on February 26, 2011, 10:41:32 AM thanks kalyan Sir,
I have tried to obtain such batteries from local electronics spare shops, but they owe the batteries with hard metallic casing, as a result, the weight is much more. I have even tried to use rechargeable button cells(called Lithium ion batteries) used in bluetooth earpiece, but power to weight ratio is not appropriate,due to casing. I have found such batteries Only on I-pod repair shops at "Naka-Hindola" Lucknow. Yes they charge Rs 120 for replacement. Kalyan sir, i have tried to charge the battery adding 60 ohms( 3/4 watts ) resistor in series with Nokia charger Rating output= 5v, 890mah. But discontinued due to fear of overcharge, as battery showed little heating. I have multimeter as well, but was lacking resistors, and experts advice. I have exploded two lithium batteries since past three years and dont any futher want that smell. My family will definitely throw me out. Sir I m PM ing my address. Let me make it Bright that Im planning to make a 1:1 dragonfly,so materials has to be as light as possible. RnDs started. Title: Re: How to charge 110mah lipo weighing 3 gm. Post by: abhay on February 26, 2011, 11:01:21 AM Sir before you send me the PCB, i want further help.
I m confused whether to use actuator or a mobile vibrator for flapping if wings. If actuator, then, i need circuit diagramme for a light weight alternator circuit. |
