The best no fuss concise explanation i have listened to.

Tyvm! Making 12v packs for solar lighting and trolling motor packs. I have some without a bms this was what I was looking for thanks again!

You just gave me the info i was looking for, thanks man😊

Huuumwah, you are a great man, thanks a lot for the fabulous course. Since i was looking for how to connect the balance socket. It's exactly like connecting a BMS. God bless you 'n gives you more than you wait.

I built a duo 6s cradle system each wired in series. Then I heard about parallel charging and that bothered me. This helped confirm that my wiring is correct so I should be able to plug it in without blowing something. I did blow a cheap charger a while back getting it wrong! I also didn't think about using 2s, 3s, etc cables instead of a 7 pin. That makes sense as the charger rotates from pin to pin (cell2cell). So thank you again my friend.

Excellent explanation - thank you very much

Nice video, helped a lot when wiring a 6s2p just like yours, thanks.

Thanks to this video I figured out that my balance wires from AliExpress is marked opposite.

Just what i was looking for! Thank you, it cleared something up for me!

Thanks for the patient explanation on balance charging in practice

Exactly what I was looking for

Gracias, El mejor viideo que he encontrado explicando la polaridad de la carga durante el balanceo. Muchas gracias amigo.

Thanks for this, I was told last year it doesnt matter on these types of batteries about balancing but I have doubts now so I looked for a video like this. Always get a second opinion I guess.

Do I need to soldering that cabels if I use bms on my 3s bat.pack and charging with imax b6 mini? Thanx

Perfectly Explained !!! I have no clear negative comments ?

excellent tutorial thank you

Thanks for ur reply sir.i want to build a jump starter for my car but am confused dont how to do it can u guide me pls thanks in advanced

Great video thank you very much so what about my battery homemade pack has 39 18650 cells so would i have to buy a connector with 39 wires on it ? Do they even make Chargers with connectors that big ? or do I break it down and do it in groups of six even though they're connected to do the balance???

Not sure what you meant but I’ve wired mine the positive first then alternate negative just trying the turnigy accucell 6 out to balance and my cells seem quite close already and I don’t use bms at moment some people just use bms to balance but don’t connect main power through bms one I had stopped anyway after not long on bike so I took bms off

Very Helpful !!!!!

Is there an explanation of your original build on this battery. I am so glad to have found you as you seem to speak to me!

Thanks for a well explained video. One question: should you really connect both the "old" charging cable and the balance cable? Or does the balance cable only measure voltage?

You don't have to put a BMS on your battery to handle over discharge etc ?

Can you balance the cells as well? need another plug for that I'm sure.

You can use the Li Ion setting by going to the USER defined Data, then start/select, and change the current/volts

It would be better for others to learn and understand what you said. The diagram on how you arrange the battery parallel. Most of the beginners will confuse serial and parallel connections. Thank you

very nicely explaned.

With 6s6p if it isn't overkill. You can start car and most likely not need to disconnect because it can handle the highest alternator voltage. Stop and go every day for a week and then take it into house to put all the cells back into balance. Drill a hole into the cab and attach it inside car so you do not have to always put up the hood.

Good explanation. Ihave a question. With a 300Watt, 6S Li-Ion, 20A balance charger, can i charge a 18650 Li-ion 6S4P 12Ah pack(24 batteries)?

very nicely explaned

With the "4 button" chargers, you can change battery type from LiPo to Lion or LiFe by toggling into the Program mode and changing the type. Be careful

Dear, very thanks for your video ,pls,I want to know if you add pcm to this battery pack

hi may i ask why my Tefal air force light vacuum stick after charging shows full charge but only use 1min then it died? thank u so much for your help

Thank you.

Was looking for the part number for that Balance Connector/wires. Anyone have this information?

Where can I get batteries balance charger in Kenya pls

Awesome video. Its a little slow so skip to 03:25 Thanks for sharing.

hi my bms 4s come for my battery 12v 4s it has multi coloured balanced leads but I have red /black balanced leads they usually go first red to positive then alternate black to negative of cells don't they?steve

Good video my brother

Great if you could see the screen on the charger I still don't know what mode to charge my 3S 8P 12 volts 32 amp 21700 cells I have lipo lilo life lihv which one is for lithium

I am having trouble locating the balancing cable plugs. Where do I get those?

can those small charger used to charge larger batery pack like 6 series of 10 parallel battery? so total is 60 battery? or any sugestion what charger best for 60 battery cell for electric bike

The reason that I am looking at your video is that I was given a new Ryobi 18v 4 amp-hour battery which was not working. Disassembly showed all ten cells were at about 3.8 volts and hence OK. My plan therefore was to look for disconnects on the control circuitry and if nothing was obvious remove the board and wire the batteries directly. I have an Accucell 6 Turnigy charger like you and tried to charge the battery as a complete block. The unit would not do it and gave the error message ‘balance charge connection’ despite it not being in the balanced charge mode. This is the second battery on which this has occurred and I think that the software has been programmed to do this. I am interested that yours will, but wonder if you have actually tried it. What I can do is charge linked pairs of batteries, but this means five episodes of charging to get them all up to level. Batteries all have an internal resistance which is more matched on more expensive batteries. On cheaper batteries this may lead to problems. Watching your video I will reattach balancing cables and try again, but whilst thinking about it remembered that you can buy tiny voltmeters to go on the balance cable for a few dollars and so one can monitor the power tool to ensure that the batteries are not discharged too far. Hobbyking certainly sell these for the model aircraft guys. I have also chopped a drill battery case and put in a Turnigy 18v cell to get my old Nicad tools working again. These batteries tend to be 2/3 of the price of the main tool companies. I was also able to resurrect and 40 volt Hilti drill for a friend with two 50 buck batteries joined and convert it from nicad to lithium. They are easy to charge on the Accucell charger. He was told that he must buy a new drill at almost 900 bucks. 12 volt kit can be done in the same way. Thanks for the video

hi vuaeco.im watching one of these accucell chargers ebay will it charge my 6s5p packs and balance at same time?im using 6s2p x2 and a 2p to make 14s5p kit 48v for ebike

Thank for ur video sir can i know how much time it take to charge the packs

excellent explanation, what if you have more than 6s

I now have a ISDT D2.

hi how come tommy calloway wires balance wires 1st wire positive then alternative negatives but you wire the opposite way round 1st wire negative then alternate positives.im confused which way do I wire ?

Hello Vuaco, I have some favorite smaller power tools (power screwdrivers etc.) that are 7.2v. By watching your videos I have replaced the old Ni-Cd batteries (usually 6 short "C" batteries) with two 18650 cells and they fit perfectly.....My question is, when two 18650 cells are used together to power a 7.2v tool, Is it considered a 2 cell pack and should it be balanced charged? The newer high voltage tools have many 18650s so is each one considered a "Cell"? Or should I consider every pair a "Cell"? All your videos are packed with lots of info and I would not even consider re-building any battery packs until finding and watching your channel...I have re-built packs for family and friends in the past months and they think its magic! Lol Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with the world and especially me in Canada :)

Excellent ..... thanks .......Dear x 1,000,000 ,,,,, kuwait

Why you charge at lipo program and not li-ion? I always have this question.also i just build a 3s battery pack with total 12 batteries 4+4+4 .my question is what would be my minimum voltage to stop using the pack?Also i have a pcb ready to solder it .should i? Or i am good without?

This is probably very simple, but doesn't your Turnigy charger balance charge on the 7pin connector alone? was there any need to plug in your XT-60 connector?

i made a 14 cell battery pack out of 18650 4000mAh 3.7v li-ion battery and i would like to how to balance charge this 14 battery pack can help me

We need a slower phase video, but gets the work done..

Do you really have to choose the proper program before you attach the battery connections?

how would you wire up the balance charging if you make a 2 or 3 cell battery but in each cell in 4 18650's?

Thanks

Thanks a lot for this video. Maybe someone can help me out with a problem I'm facing for hours now. I've two Accucel-6 and they work with packs without any problem. Now I want to use them for an ebike. I ordered a bunch of NCR18650BD Lion. I've put them in 3S with different numbers of P. The load current seems to be limited to 1.0 A, independent of all settings. For 1P it may be ok, but for e.g. 14P it would take forever to load the set. Any comment? thanks

Sir what if you have bms on your battery pack. Do i have to balance the battery pack or just charge it

Please help, ty for the video but I made a 4p battery pack for my 3.7v fish aerator, my question is does it need a balance wire for the 4 parallel 18650? Im a nebie and cant find anything on parallel balancing. I own a battery new spot welder and skyrc b6 charger. Any help will do, thank you.

What about 13s13p battery pack? How to balance those packs?

This is grate! But in thia configuration isn't it balancing for 2 cells? Co if one in pair is weaker it will still charge the other one more then it supposed to be charged?

if u could answer this question: what if i have more than 6 batteries to balance? if yes, how do i balance it with this imax?

Good day. My 4s balance wires have 1 red and 4 black. How would I connect those? Isn't red positive and black negative? You are connecting to negative the rest of cables to positive of cells. I'm confused...

Just say it once and let slower learners rewind the video if they missed something. It is actually more confusing when you keep repeating everything so many times.

Shouldn't you have changed the battery type to Li-Ion? (LiIo)

I love your accent

thanks .....Dear..... x 1,000,000 ////// kuwait

привет из России greetings from Russia

No offense sir but your accent is unique. Are you Asian from Oklahoma? Anyway, great job on these videos very informative and precise. I really like the way you present each video. And how you do things like me (on the cheap). I have a question, I built a 3s4p pack with fuse wire. After I built it, I checked it with my multi meter and the reading was 11.7v. I then connected a 400 watt inverter to it. I ran a load of 27 watts for around half hour. Then the alarm of the inverter began to sound off. After disconnecting it from the pack the voltage read 3.2v. How is this possible? Please guide me to the right path. By the way I didn't use a BMS or hooked up a balance lead like you. I'm still waiting for my imax 6 from China. Thanks. Mario

Hi! Can you please show a balancing charge on an 18V Li ion Makita battery, without opening it up, just using metal flat sticks to connect to the battery. Thanks!

Sealed and temp regulated.

Where the batteries Lipo or Li ion? I noticed you chose Lipo for the charge but the batteries look like Lion. I am new to this so forgive me if got that wrong. Ken

Can't you just tap out the 7 points and charge it at 3.7 volts isolated without using the hobby charger?

Advantage of salvage its free and they are INDUSTRIAL Quality Leads

3:12 if them cells are really killed, it won't charge atall

Ones i got online are THIN. little scary 😮

u should chasnge it ti li-ion not li-po will do a lot better job at toping off and maintaining battery

You need to balance the sound for this video.

This was supposed to be a charging without the balance cable and at the end of video you plug in balancer, what the hell?

My advice to anyone use heavy balance leads dont skimp on $$$ heavy wires Little insurance on shorts😮

Buk Lau is dat a yuuuuuuuuuu

Charging liIon batterys in LiPo mode? Wtf...

Larger batteries need to be of the plate type. Not AA. (double a)

Bane

CAUTION This is total nonsense - you are balancing cell pairs with other cell pairs, you are NOT balancing all the individual cells: To that you would have to isolate or separate cell pairs into each individual cell, not coupled together in pairs as in the video. Sorry but if you don't know what you're doing, don't publish videos unless you say what your limits are.
