GREATPLANES Equinox LiPo Cell Balancer Manual
The Equinox™ LiPo Cell Balancer is a device designed to regulate the voltages of all cells in a lithium-polymer (LiPo) pack to very tight tolerances during charge and discharge functions. Balanced LiPo packs typically provide higher total voltage, which means more power to the motor system. In addition, balanced LiPo packs generally last longer as no individual cell ever becomes over-charged, which is a big reason why some LiPo’s perform inadequately. A good balancing system also provides a very safe charging and discharging platform, which is critical when handling LiPo batteries. Equinox is designed to balance LiPo packs containing anywhere from 2 to 5 cells which are assembled in series. Equinox will keep the voltages of all cells in the pack within 5mV (0.005V) to 30mV (0.030V) of each other at all times. It’s very important to understand that the LiPo battery MUST be wired for balancing in order to function with Equinox! Contact your LiPo supplier if you are unsure if your battery is configured for balancing.
