Just sharing a few pics of my setup to maybe help others with ideas on where to start, or what to improve from my setups. Nothing major here, and pretty basic, DIY and cheap was my number one goal here.
Sure, it’s not “professional” looking, but it works great!
Nice.I should order one. I have always just used the little usb power packs. They work fine but you have to use the built-in switch to turn them on. How do you charge these? Do you have to open up your container? I see your on-off switch. Would you mind sharing a link to that as well?
I am at work now but I can post more pics later this evening.
I have an Rc battery charger that I’ve had for years for my planes and helicopters. It’s fairly cheap. I’ll hunt down some links for ya a bit later.
Yes, I open up the Tupperware container and remove the battery for charging. But once it’s charged and installed back into the container, I can then use the on/off switch from the BEC.
My battery charger as requested; sorry for the delay…(side note, I balance charge all my lipos, not only for battery life, but safety). This battery charger for most will be over kill unless you also partake in the RC hobby. I am always charging 4s and 6s batteries so I wanted the power for faster charging.
Then I use this size of power supply to power it. I matched the AMP output of the charger to the AMP output of the power supply…(side note, I never max it out at 7amps, but the power is there if needed).
