Hi very helpful, I have same charger/discharging. You can also cycle left to see other info during operation. The button you pushed to see cell values press the button to left of it during use heaps of info.
Great video instructions, as I just got this, and the direction are next to useless. What I don’t know is what this does when the charging is complete?
Their old website says you should always plug in the balance plug first before you connect the charge plug. Says it is not safe to do this the other way around. Not exactly sure why this is better but I always follow those steps just in case. 🔆
Thanks bfor this great information... Pls how can I contact you coz already I do all that steps but peeping sound. And that what was written on the screen" battery check cell low voltage"
THANK YOUUUUU!!!This video was extremely helpful. I got my FLOUREON 5200mAh 7.4V 30c / 2s lipo BATTERY to charge thanks to your video. How do I know when it is fully charge? Does it just turn off by itself?
No I never had to I suppose, I don't see the need to upgrade charger unless there's something wrong with it. This is what's written in the manual : Please download the ''PC Monitor” software on our website: www.ev-peak.com. There is mini USB port in the charge which can be used to connect it to the PC. You need optional USB cable (USB A Male to Mini B Male) which is not included in the package. The free “Charge Master”software gives you unparalleled ability to operate the charger through your computer. You can update firmware from “Charge Master”.
Okay, I have yet another stupid question! what about a 3 and 4s Xt30 lipo, can that be charged via connecting to the 3s balance board only? Or, do I need to find a banana plug Xt30 connect to the EV Peak to have both the Xt30 and balance lead to charge?
So that lipo charge without the balance plug, could that be used for a lipo that has a cell to low to be balanced charge? I was told you can bump cell voltage on a lipo with the nicad setting, then switch to a lipo balance charge, but wouldn't that lipo without a balance plug setting accomplish the same thing?
@@elliotfpvreviews855 - Confirmed this, page 13, fast charge, used to charge lipos without a balance lead, which is handy when you have a cell that's to low for a balance charge, you just bump it with the fast charge,3 minutes, then switch to a balance charge.
Hello, thank you! I'm able to charge, but often running into the issue where I get the message "Run full capacity limit" when charging. I see that the capacity cap is at 5000mA. And I'm charging (for example) three (4S 1500mA), and entering 4.5A for total. Not sure whats going on and was unable to find info about this in the manual. Thank you for any insight.
Maybe a silly question question but are you charging or balance charging need to bal-charge aslo if I understand correctly your charging 3 batterys at once off of this, no go that's the proplem. If your only charging 1 per charge Maybe try a full discharge and balance storage. Or from balance store. Lower mAh charge rate it will take longer to charge but it may balance better. Given all that could have a bad cell. Also in the vid the guy uses the mid right button to show battery cell levels, you can use the button to it's left to see more info. You maybe hitting operation saftey time limit turn it off zero power restart the balance charge.
Hi, I got question. How the charger chandle with more lipo's at the same time ? If it can give full 10A when is couple of batteries ? Because some times chargers in example got 5A reited and they can do only 3 ,3 A
The max amperage depends on what voltage you’re charging. The charger is rated at 100w and if we ignore the fact that it cant have 100% efficientcy we can say that you can charge 10A at 10V. When I charge a 4s lipo at 16.8V it hits 5.4A which results in 90.72W of power
my charger says to check main and balance. i have the same charger as you, and i am wondering what to do in this circumstance, as the message displayed on the charger is not located in the manual. i have tried unplugging the balance charging part several times and plugging it back in, but the same message gets displayed each time.
I had the same issue, and the instructions are not clear, at all! You need to connect "Main Output" banana connectors (be careful of polarity!) with the main battery connection that matches your battery... In my case it is an XT60 connector. Once you connect BOTH the balanced connector AND the main power connector to your battery, you can start charging your battery. It is really short sighted of the maker of this charger NOT to have included ALL the possible error messages and what they mean, as well as HOW TO CORRECT THE ERROR... Hope this helps, Leonardo!
so I should attach the Tamia-type connection to the banana connectors as if it wasn't a LiPo, as well as have the LiPo hooked up to the balance charger? i.e. pluc a deans adapter into the banana cables and plug the batterie into the adapter as if putting it into my gun, then connecting it to the balance portion of the charger as well? when I do this, the charger finally starts working. I really want to take care of my battery, so thanks for the feedback! @@ppotter7692
Sorry for the late reply, but this probably means that ur lipo has cells under 3v. You can try to charge it without the balancing plug and on the lipo charge mode. After 30s it should have enough voltage to charge normal again
How do I find adapters for this I can’t get my butterfly 1450 to charge and I believe it’s because the output connector is improper. I’m reading reverse polarity nonstop please help so o don’t waste 50 bucks
Keeps saying "connection check bal and main" extremely frustrating.... ive unplugged it and plugged it back in like 20 times. PLEASE help.... I just want to fly my quadcoptor already ..
What are you trying to charge and in what setting? Did you plug your balance lead into the right slot on the breakout board? I think you might have a bad connection somewhere, maybe your charging cable has a bad contact to a connector.
It is perfectly normal to go higher than 11.1V. This is the nominal voltage of a 3s lipo, in the charged state a lipo has 4.2V/cell so a 3s can go up to 12.6V
This is strange when i just connect the deans and not the 3s clip pins it charges....but i thort all connections had to be applied i.e the deans connector and the 3s pins which go into the side of the Charging box...Can any 1 shed any light please???
So basically the battery charges using the bannana too deans connection but when i plug in breaker plug to the 3s connection pins thats when it says ERROR... This is realy strange
Hi, And using just the balance plug is possible? My Syma X8 Pro baterry doesn't have the banana conector. I don't know if the balance plug charge the baterry itself. Thanks.
Perfect! Thanks for making this video! First RC Car and I'm excited to get out and start to learn.
Mike Gilbert. Gotcha. Thank you
Thank you. I just bought the EV Peak C4, which isn't too much different. My first time using such a charger, so this helped me out alot.
Recently bought this charger and your video helped alot thank you
Thank you for taking the time to make your video. Well done.

massive help, thank you so much!
Great video
Very helpful
Thank you very much!!
Thanks for the video bud. It definitely helped!
Thx mate that was really Helpful
how do you check how much charge your battery has?
AmazinG Demo...i do not have a charger but i think i will be getting your charger,, Thank you so much,,,
How long do u charge it 4? Or does it stop once it's charged?
How do you know when is charged?
Thank you soooooo much. This helped so much!! ❤️
Thanks bfor this great information...
Pls how can I contact you coz already I do all that steps but peeping sound. And that what was written on the screen" battery check cell low voltage"
Hello. Some people told me that os not recommend to charge si high. Maybe 0,2 less... Is that correct?
So if I understand correctly. If my rc battery is 5300mAh it should charge at 5.3A? LiPo 5300mAh 7.4V 2s 30C
Yes.
Every 100mAh is .1 on the charger
Can you show me how to discharge or store it, its giving me some sort or error,,, thanks
what if I connected my lip before i set it? is that bad
how long does it take to actually charge one..?
Very useful. Thank you
My comment comes late, but thanks man for this Video
Thanks a lot helped me so much 😁

Tell you tell me setting for your fpv 17.5 mah kayak battery thanks
How u now when the battery is full?
FMN Z - The charger will going into a short alarm warning letting you know the lipo is fully charged!

What is the number on the bottom right when you start charging that starts from 0000
Thats the amount of mah that has been put into the lipo
Elliot FPV Reviews Thank you !
Does this charger have a storage mode to bring the batteries down to 3.80v if your not using them?
Troy Hendrickson oh sweet, thanks for the reply. Think I just found my new 1s charger.
thank you. well explained.

This charger won't read anything under 3 volts. So don't run it until it's all the way dead and you shouldn't have that problem.
Sorry for the late reply, but this probably means that ur lipo has cells under 3v. You can try to charge it without the balancing plug and on the lipo charge mode. After 30s it should have enough voltage to charge normal again
can you please explain the discharge program?THX
Its the same as charging, you just put in your voltage, capacity and current that you want to discharge at
Thanks Man saved my A$$ :)

Thanks I forgot to charge my lipo for 4 years lol
It have a sound when finish the charge ?
ivan blu yep
Can you recharge a battery with a dead cell with this charger ???
Put it in MiHm mode and charge for 30 seconds and watch it. Then turn it off and charge on regular lipo mode.
Great video!
awesome. thank you!
Does it automatically stop, when the battery is full?
Kaizoku Gamer yes it stops automatically.
Thank you very much!
Why does it say Battery chek connect ERR ???
Thank you!.
Helped me...thanks
Thanks mate.

Try lowering your charge rate to 1.0.
Plus - minus - check.
How many batteries can you charge at once
You can use a parallel charging board to charge as many as you want at once. Do keep in mind that you only have 100 watts of power.
I have the same thing but it's a Lectron Pro label on it.
how does one know when the charge is complete
It starts beeping and tells you on the screen
Do you know to to charge a drained lipo battery?
Thank you very much
I need the firmware for c1-xr can anyone help
Mine just keeps saying cell connect error. Tried multiple diff wires etc. Battery is on right settings etc and everything attached properly......
I had the same problem until i realized i had not put the right s in remeber the equation v(of battery)÷3.7=s
Thanks!
Okay, call me an idiot, but how in the hell do you save a lipo preset? Thank you!
You can't on this one sadly. It only has 1 lipo setting.
Thanx a lot
I didnt know walter jr made tutorials
I have an 11.1v / 3 cell / 1450mah but I'm noticing the voltage on the charger is getting higher than what my lipo says it should be. Is this normal?
It is perfectly normal to go higher than 11.1V. This is the nominal voltage of a 3s lipo, in the charged state a lipo has 4.2V/cell so a 3s can go up to 12.6V
I have the same issue. My 7.4v 2S got charged to over 8v and shows each cell as 4.16v. Is this normal?
nice thanks
It keeps saying BATTERY CHECK CELL CONNECT ERROR...its my 3s lipo bison vkar battery...it shoulsnt be saying this it wont charge...Useless
You probably have a bad connection or a cell which is unbalanced. Check all connections and voltages and see if they’re ok
This is strange when i just connect the deans and not the 3s clip pins it charges....but i thort all connections had to be applied i.e the deans connector and the 3s pins which go into the side of the Charging box...Can any 1 shed any light please???
So basically the battery charges using the bannana too deans connection but when i plug in breaker plug to the 3s connection pins thats when it says ERROR...
This is realy strange
Dont agree with everything you say
Hi,
And using just the balance plug is possible?
My Syma X8 Pro baterry doesn't have the banana conector.
I don't know if the balance plug charge the baterry itself.
Thanks.
I dont think that thats possible
