Hello guys,
I have a question which I think is very useful for people who fly bigger models.
Can we have a lipo and li-ion in parallel?
Assumptions made --> lipo can discharge a constant current of 90A where as li-ion battery can only discharge 20A.
Few of my points:
1. I wanted to use li ion becuase of its weight, cost but at the same time I have to compromise because of its discharge is too low. If I choose
lipo then both weight and cost would increase but I need not compromise about discharge.
2. What I have seen is the discharge graphs of li ion battery is little steep compared to lipo.
Advatages of using them in parallel?
1. Simple we can have advantages of both batteries i.e
1. Weight can be reduced.
2. When there is current spike lipo may kick in and supply the load and next for long run i.e when the discharge is low the li-ion and lipo share the load equally.
However we may need experimental data before we can comment on anything. As so many factors need to be considered and I need your points as well before someone can proceed with any experiments.
