Steve Colman Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm about to upgrade my charger from a basic B6 clone to something more substantial. Simple question. Thinking of the future, Is it worth investing in a charger that will charge the newer LiHV packs ? Thanks, Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 As long as the charger is firmware upgradeable for other new battery chemistries I would not worry about it. Personally I have seen no reason to move to the LiHV batteries as unless you are involved in very demanding e-flight disciplines their benefits are negligible; there are likely to be negatives as well (charging to higher voltages must increase the speed of anode degradation, causing earlier capacity loss and higher IR).

Steve Colman Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks MattyB, More or less confirmed my own thoughts but always good to hear a second opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
