Re: Working with Lithium Polymer Batteries
Thanks For this guide.
I see you're already making new guides!

Re: Lithium Polymer Batteries -- How to wire and what to buy.
Well, lithium batteries are dangerous, and can explode. Lithium polymer cells are actually more dangerous I believe, but with a protection circuit the danger is very low compared to just open cells. The protection circuit protects against shorts causing massive failures, prevents overdischarge, overcharge, all those sorts of things. You ought to be fine with one on there.
So you know, if you accidentally short your cell(s) while they're plugged in, the protection circuit will need to be reset by plugging in the charger once, then there should be no problem.

As far as I know LiPo batteries are less dangerous, but I'm not sure. All those R/C people have to use balancing chargers and constantly have their batteries blow up, because they haven't discovered PCBs.

Re: Lithium Polymer Batteries -- How to wire and what to buy.
What PCB would I use for the first battery you linked us to (http://www.batteryspace.com/highpowerpo ... arate.aspx) It gives specs as to what type, but I can't seem to find one.
Sorry for my insanely lame finding-things-skills, and thanks

I linked to the Pcb's needed for using those batteries at 7.4v , 11.1v and 14.8v.
If you want just a 3.7v battery by itself use this Pcb :

And this charger:

The P+ and P- on the protection circuit are for both charging and discharging.zeturi said:

Re: Lithium Polymer Batteries -- How to wire and what to buy.
I was planning on making a series of four paralleled batteries (2 paralleled and series'd to another 2 paralleled. Or would I just need three, one to increase the voltage and another to increase the voltage?) so the PMC won't work. Also, how would I charge multiple batteries?
Sorry for the noob questions
