How to Revive a LIPO Battery Safely -& when not to.

Now you may have heard somebody on the internet tell you to just charge that thing as a nikad battery like below:

Additional Charge Setting Notes: recharging a LiPo below 3.0V/cell may require using a NiMh or NiCad charger setting on the LiPo batteries, as most smart chargers have safety features which prevent a user from attempting to charge a LiPo which is below 2.5V/cell, as this can be dangerous if a standard charge rate is used. Since all we are after is setting a low (and safe) constant charge current to get the LiPo back up to a safe charge level, using a NiMH/NiC ad setting is fine until we get the battery >3.0V/cell. WHEN USING AN NIMH or NiCad SETTING TO GET THE LIPOS ABOVE 3.0V/CELL, ***NEVER*** LEAVE THEM UNAT TENDED. You should not leave them unattended because the NiMh/NiCad end-of-charge detection method is not compatible with Lithium based batteries, and if left on the charger until full, the end of charge state will never be detected and the LiPo battery will be overcharged until it (likely) catches fre and destroys itself.

But no! Your charger has almost no safety checks under the nickel chemistry, so that's a terrible idea! Because it's 2021! We all have smart chargers in this hobby now and you are a smart boy!

So let's do some smart things, We're going to start by going up to our battery type, or it could be called battery chemistry in some chargers, and choose “LiFe“ as known as lithium iron phosphate, which has a lower voltage range than lipos but it still balances, and it'll stop charging the battery before it gets too high, possibly saving your house from a fire, then just make sure to charge the battery really slowly.

I'm gonna use a 0.7 amp charge rate, but you could go even slower if you had a smaller battery. my charger is nearly finished charging it's a really low amp rate and I've only put in 116 milliamp hours. Now the battery is done, and I can go ahead and switch over to the lightbo mode, and then put this battery into storage. Since I'm not going to use it right now.

Now at this point you might be asking, what would if my battery is too low to charge, even for the lithium iron phosphate chemistry. To clear that up, your battery's done, if a Lipo battery is too low for the lithium iron phosphate chemistry, don't attempt to recharge it. You destroyed the battery, you got to just chalk that up as and move on with your life, don't burn your house down,don't charge your battery at all.

That’s is Choosing a high-quality LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery is crucial for several reasons. Here are the key importance of selecting a high-quality LiPo battery:

Safety: High-quality LiPo batteries are designed with safety features to prevent issues such as overheating, swelling, leakage, or even explosion.

Performance and Reliability: High-quality LiPo batteries are designed to provide consistent and reliable performance. They offer higher energy density, which means they can store more power and deliver it more efficiently.

Longevity: High-quality LiPo batteries tend to have a longer lifespan compared to low-quality alternatives. They are made with better-quality cells and components, which are more stable and durable. They are also less prone to degradation over time, ensuring that they last longer and provide reliable power for a longer period.

Compatibility: High-quality LiPo batteries are often designed to meet specific requirements and standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and applications.

Charging and Discharging Efficiency: High-quality LiPo batteries typically have better charging and discharging efficiency. They can handle higher charge and discharge rates without overheating or performance degradation.

In conclusion, customers should choose CNHL lipos for their reputation of producing high-quality, high-performance, and reliable batteries. With a focus on safety, longevity, and a wide range of options, CHL caters to the needs of hobbyists, enthusiasts, and professionals alike.
