Hi folks,
If you need to charge your lipo cheaply or get a low cell back up to par, you couldn't do any better than getting a TP4056 charging board.
Look online, they are so cheap.
Charging is at 1 amp and the battery is charged through the balanced lead only; one cell at a time.
For around £2.50 UK, I have four chargers so can charge four batteries simultaneously.
If you have a low cell off your balanced charger, pick up the low cell using one of these.
To be cheaper still, I use an old computer power supply to provide the 5 volt supply.
All works a dream!
I have just timed the cell charge time. Battery = 3s 2200mah. Single cell charge time = 2 hours and for all 3 cells = 6 hours. Perhaps considered a long time by some, but, a small penalty for a charger that's very cheap!
##### Please note..... Do not cross connect the battery to the charger board, you'll fry the chip instantly, even on a depleted battery!!!! You have been warned.
