Derek Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 As LI-PO cells have now been in use by modellers for some time now, has anyone discovered anyone who will carry out repairs as in, usually one cell in the pack goes down, expensive to replace some of the now widely used big packs, 5000ma 6 cell set ups, surely the duff cell could be replaced by some one with the relevent know how?Any ideas??

Tim Mackey Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have successfully stripped down several packs - but then I just use the cells in other applications EG: single / 2s config etc. I Imagine that the problem with your scenario may be in getting a well matched single cell to replace the duffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always broke Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Have done the same in making packs smaller, but as Timbo says you would have a job getting a cell to match your partially used ones. Do not forget you need to change the balance connector as well to be configured to the new number of cells. I have also had a problem soldering to a couple of packs, Dualsky was one just could not solder . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Some cells /packs use aluminium tabs, and therefore require special soldering techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Hailey Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi allI have just read this and the thing is are we starting to see the use of lead free solder, as I had a wire come of on one of my packs, and even Theo it was soldered to a small printed circuit board it was quite difficult to re solder.soldering is fun Owen.
