Hello guys,
It's Rushi again. I posted about LiPo battery issue couple of weeks ago. But eventually I discovered something else. I concluded about battery being faulty because the middle led on that charger was not lit. So I went and bought another LiPo. Now this charger behaves same way as before. So may be previous battery may be ok it would have just drained its one cell.
Now I have a question. I went through many online resources about making a single cell serial cable but I don't have patience for that. Hence I attached some jumper wires to the one cell of a battery and charger port which was ok. You can see in the pic. Is this ok procedure for long term? Cause I don't lipo chargers anymore they're expensive and most of them are faulty, no warranties and China shit.
That looks like a balance charging connector of some sort, which implies it has more than 1 cell in that lipo pack (which you provided no details). In that case, you should charge it only with an appropriate balancing charger. Improperly or unevenly charging LiPo batteries is how you start fires.
Either that, or two pins for charging a single cell and two pins for a thermistor, or three pins for balance-charging two cells, and one pin for a thermistor (with common ground).
It is 3s battery. rest of the two cells show 4.2V which means they are okay. the one I connecting using "so called balancer (a homemade, maybe inappropriate)" is 2nd cell which is totally discharged. I am sure that the charger gone or defective.
