I really hope that this isn't gonna be what I think it's leading to....??Your typical desktop modder isn't gonna want to be working with 12.6V lipo battery packs.I can just see these massive explosions and fireworks waiting to happen!
Really? You just need to stop with the unwarranted fear mongering concerning lipo packs and get yourself educated. Both breaktru and I as well as new modders work with lipo packs. You need to join box modders or lipo mods at FB to get an education of what modders - and yes noobie modders - are doing nowadays. And no one has harmed them self or others modding with series lipo packs.
Woot nice builds BreakThat second mod looks badarseI have that polycase its a nice sized modder box looks good @ 3s thats gotta be hella tight, very nice..200 watts is awesomeI vaped a 150 watts last night its so hot ..Literally 1 sec and woosh clouds of vapor not to bad on flavor but hawt 4mm+ coil dia and 200w possible
From what I have read the DNA200 will have separate cell monitoring....
A big part of the safety issue with LiPo versus high drain 18650 comes down to quality control and safety in design. The issue of safety with any Li-Ion battery is more about the quality and design of the cell rather than the abuse it may or may not have to suffer.Big name high drain 18650s are produced for a wide range of applications with safety being a top priority. This is not the case for LiPos. The majority of LiPos are produced for a specific application (powered models) with more of an emphasis on performance than safety. LiPos are used in other applications as well and they can range quite a bit in safety depending on how they are sourced (OEM or retail). However, LiPos people buy for e-cigs are most commonly over-the-counter ones sold for powered models.Physically speaking, the chemistry is less volatile for the lithium manganese based round cells compared to the lithium polymer chemistry of the (typically) flat cells. The volatility for LiPo is between LiCo and LiMn. However there is also the fact that a LiPo is typically encased in a thick foil where a hard round cell is contained in a much more robust steel shell. Typical over-the-counter LiPos have a poor safety record. They suffer a lot of "on the bench" failures during charging especially. I have yet to hear of a quality high drain round cell bursting into flames. It happens with LiPos a lot more than you would expect based solely on the difference in chemistry. It simply comes down to the difference in quality and design between the big name high drain 18650s and the typical retail LiPos. Though the LiPos can deliver much higher current demands and do it efficiently, they are not produced with stringent safety standards like the big name 18650s.
I can understand a concern but the ecig industry has thrived safely with lipo batts.
The times are constantly changing, from 6 years ago, to 3 years ago, to today. Pay attention people lol.
But that woudn't be a 50 amp load on the batts, only a 50A output to the atty, the batts are providing power from at least 11v supply so only about 18A load on them. Correct me if I'm wrong pls.
You act like someone is forcing you into something. If you feel lipo packs are unsafe, don't freakin use em. Simple as that. No need to go on and on about it.
I don't care about Joe Average.
I don't care what he does and it's not my job, or anyone's, to educate him.
No need to go on and on about it.
I am not responsible for what others do and I def won't let others control my actions when it comes to modding.
....but your continuing fear mongering is wasted on me.
Pay attention people lol.
Out of curiosity D....Did the beta include testing to see what would happen if the board failed?Or more specifically...if the balancer failed?And is there a way for a 'garage modder' to actually test the functionality of the board before hooking it up to a 35C 3S pack? (A: yes, external power supply)I know that it's unlikely that a board would be defective right out of the box, but the 40 did have a lot of issues on it's beta release.
Someone is going to be responsible for Joe Idiot if he harms himself or anyone else and it'll likely be the party that gave him the means of creating the device in the first place.
If you think you can protect/prevent the stoopids from doing the stupid, then go for it.
I don't care what he does and it's not my job...
When I put a mod in someone's hand, I am responsible, not anyone else.
