OMPHobby M2/GooSky S2 Parallel 3s LiPo Charging Board

Availability ETA Mid-Late October

Thanks to good feedback on our 2s (M1/S1) board, we decided to bring out the same product but for 3s LiPo, for use with OMP M2 and GooSky S2 helicopters, or any other small 3s LiPo powered models.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
Do not connect batteries of cell voltage difference greater than 0.1V.  This can result in excess current flowing between the cells upon connection, potentially causing damage to the cells, the connectors, or the balance board itself.  Be sure to only connect batteries of close voltage relative to each other.

Do not parallel charge any batteries that are suspect or questionable.  Due to the nature of parallel charging, a battery failing during the charge cycle will go unnoticed by the protection features of the charger and can cause fire and damage to property or persons.

Do not charge LiPo batteries unattended under any circumstances.

Do not exceed 15A of charging current with this board.  This is a limitation of the XT30 input.  Do not exceed 3A of charging current per battery connection.  This is a limitation of the JST-XH connectors. 

Do not exceed the rated charge rate (C) of your batteries.

When charging batteries equipped only with a balance lead and no main charging lead, it is important that you let the charge cycle fully complete before pulling off the batteries and flying.  Due to the thin wires, low amp rated connectors, and the way balance charging works, the final balancing and topping off of the cells takes longer than it does when charging with separate power leads.  If the charge cycle is not allowed to fully complete, the batteries will not be completely charged and you will experience shorter flight times than expected.  This applies to any balance-only parallel board or squid cable.
