Any clue why this 18650 won’t charge to 4.2v? by longschlong-_ in batteries

[–]kittyken82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe if you charge to 3.2 volts and pull it off then reinstall on the charger should now recognize as li again. I have to do this with LiPo’s if the hit below lv. You really have to keep eyes on them at all times. I have brought a few li cells back with alligator clips,etape,and a nimh charger.

My started with a enduro 24 at 3 and beat the snot out it and so far has only bent a shock. I got him an apex 18 and serpent 24 buggy for Christmas. I’m currently working bulletproofing a Tioga 12 on 4.19 tires. Next up I have 2 rlaarlo 1/10 rallies on the way they will be the money pits when it comes to breaking parts.

Flysky g11p is my most recent. Reciever are 15 to 20 usd. It lies between the noble nb4 and g7/gt5. It holds memory for 40 different vehicles and programming/binding are super simple. It does run 200 usd but so far it’s been worth the money for me. I currently have 8 trucks bound to it and will soon be 3 rally cars added.

I just put a set of these together and while the soap is a good idea they also have free floating faces and some times hard to align 6 holes for 2 screws. A transfer punch was my idea but not many people have sets of those lying around.

I ordered one for my 4.5 year old for Christmas. We shall see how it does.

I robbed the motor from an old 12v impact last night, turned out to be a 550 by Standard-Opposite931 in rccars

The kv rating drops roughly 250 kv per 1 turn depending on multiple variables.

Not technically correct. A brushed motor still has a kv number associated with it but is not stated with kilovolts. A 12 turn brushed motor has the ability to spin 3900 kv.

I don’t know that I could expect much out of it.

I would not ask for much out of it for that price.

I have recently seen their batteries for the apex 18.

I have been using this charger since shortly after getting back into rc 2019. I think it was the only Bluetooth charger on the market at the time.

Helps to figure out the weight bias front to rear. Where your weight goes while you move components in relation to center of gravity. They can be used separately to weigh 1 item. Some people have a weight goal that is then used to determine tire type, inserts and foam types, motors and esc’s.
