Info

The LipoSaver is used for lipo monitoring for 3 or 4-cell lipos.

The lipo can be connected either directly or via balancer input.

INFO:
If a connected consumer requires too high inrush current, the LipoSaver can switch off the output directly due to the temporarily low voltage !

Technical data

• Dimensions: 33 x 16mm
• Voltage: 3S (11,1V) or 4S (14,8V)
• Internal power consumption: ca. 3mA

• max. current: ca. 1A
  (without reverse polarity protection ~5A)

• Voltage ranges = 4S Lipo

  • Warnung Summer - ~13,2V
  • Shutdown - ~12,3V

• Voltage ranges = 3S Lipo

  • Warnung Summer - ~10,6V
  • Shutdown - ~9,5V

Connection 4S Lipo

If the supplied 5-pin header is soldered to the ! LipoSaver, a 4S Lipo can be plugged directly over the balancer connector.

Optionally, the connection can also be soldered directly to the Plus (+) and GND (-) pads.

Connection 3S Lipo

If the supplied header is soldered to the ! LipoSaver, a 3S Lipo can be plugged directly over the balancer connector.

IMPORTANT

• The upper pin of the pin header must be removed to avoid causing a short circuit!
  

• There must be a solder bridge between:

  • the upper Plus (+) pad and the underlying pad
    

  • the 3S pads on the other side of the board

Optionally, the connection can also be soldered directly to the Plus (+) and GND (-) pads.

IMPORTANT

• There must be a solder bridge between the 3S pads on the other side of the board

Current

On the LipoSaver is a diode as reverse polarity protection. With this diode the max. Current drain is limited to ~1A.

If you remove this diode and replace it with a solder bridge, a max. Current consumption up to 5A can be used.

BUT BEWARE: This eliminates the reverse polarity protection!
