    Unfortunately I have probably a grand worth of RC airplane and Quadcopter lipos that are waiting to explode next time I charge them, since I haven’t flown in the last two years. I wish something better would show up that isn’t as delicate. I’m rooting for high density capacitors.

    You are right. Organization and keeping a system going is the only way to move forward. Also, probably throwing all of those lipos away and starting over so that I don’t burn my house down. (I use flame proof bags when charging and keep them in pretty thick ammo cans, so hopfully they won’t burn down my house, but still.)

      At least there are fancy dumb lipo chargers that you can hook up several batteries of same stats to and charge em in batches.

        I have some of those for my tiny whoops and other 1 or 2 cell quads to charge a batch of them with my fancy charger. Still, I have to calculate the charge rate for the batch.
