Morning All,
I had finally decided to have a go at re jigging my puffed cell 6s 16ah HK lipo to a 4s 16ah after much reading on here and other sites, however:
I have stripped the pack open only to find that rather than having 6 pouches in there, as per the videos I have watched, I find 12.
This has thrown me: my mind tells me that it is simply 6 lots of paralleled cells (each single pouch being 8ah) soldered in series to achieve the required ah rating. Anyone else come across this?
With soldering gun in hand I went about it in the same way I would have with 6 pouches. Foiled again at this stage as my soldering gun will not melt the solder on the tabs! It melts my spool of wire just fine but wont even put a dent in the terminals on the battery.
Any help with any of it is appreciated!
