GPMM3160 ElectriFly Equinox LiPo Cell Balancer 1-5 Series
This is the Great Planes ElectriFly Equinox LiPo Balancer. For LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery packs with 2 to 5 cells, assembled IN SERIES and wired for balancing. Not Compatible with LiPos having a 2-pin charge lead.
FEATURES: Regulates voltages of all cells in a Lithium Polymer pack to very tight tolerances during Charge and Discharge functions and provides a safe Charging and Discharging platform which is critical when handling LiPo batteries Eight status LEDs and pushbutton control Gold plated banana plugs on input for easy connection to charger/ discharger Automatically checks for poor quality cells Maximum current handling capacity is 3 amps (current of up to 6 amps maximum is possible with the use of high-power adapters available separately-GPMM3163)
Unlike some balancers, Equinox has two separate functions; Quick-Balance Mode: applies a small discharge current to gently balance voltages of all cells in a LiPo pack Interface Mode: allows the Equinox to be used with a separate charger or discharger whereby it will monitor and control how each cell in the LiPo pack is charged or discharged Balanced packs typically charge to the fullest possible safe voltage, meaning more power to the motor system. Also, Balanced packs generally last longer as no individual cell becomes overcharged. This is one reason why LiPos fail.
INCLUDES: Great Planes ElectriFly Equinox LiPo Balancer with 2S and 3S battery adapters (Compatible with Align balance connector), Interface Mode and Connection Flowchart and instruction manual. Align compatible adapters for 4S and 5S are sold separately.
REQUIRES: LiPo batteries with a compatible balance connector. CANNOT BE USED WITH LIPOS NOT WIRED FOR BALANCING.
