How to Condition a New Lipo Battery
- 1). Locate the tap on the top of the LiPo battery cell. Check to make sure you have the proper tap connector on your voltage meter. Most current LiPo batteries come with a tap already attached. If you have older LiPos, you might consider replacing them with newer LiPos that have taps attached.
- 2). Attach the voltage meter to the LiPo tap and gauge the voltage in the cell. If you are using more than one cell, repeat this process one at a time before attempting to charge the pack.
- 3). Attach the LiPo battery at its tap to an approved lithium charger, making sure it is set for the correct cell count, and charge to no more than 4.2 volts. If you are using multiple LiPos, charge each one individually to ensure the charge is balanced.
