Battery question
Posted: Wed Oct 30, 2013 5:14 am
This is a LIPO battery question:
It isn't *really* related to RC but hey, who else am I going to ask??
I like to go on hiking trips (2, 3, 4 days etc) and use the GPS in my phone for location data, taking photos and other stuff. I was wondering if you could charge a phone from a LIPO which I found out you can - I found a HK product which is a 2 - 7 cell lipo to usb charger. My question is, is my LIPO going to blow up because it's discharging at a wrong rate if I use a LIPO to charge a phone overnight whilst camping?
I don't know much about lipos (apart from horror stories I've heard) hence the question. My lipos are Turnigy 3s 2400mah.
Would really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Ant
