izeman said:I wouldn't call it ineffective. It's just that stored energy is converted to heat by little resistors. The heat generated is limited somehow if installed in little cases. So those resistors are quite small - but this is the same with 99% of all RC chargers i know of. There are some that can balance at a little higher rate, but still NOTHING compared to something like a BC168 or UN-A6 (which i prefer more), as those chargers basically are 6 completely seperated chargers in one case, so they can act independently and handle each and every cell individually. I have all different chargers that handle different needs: Big bulk chargers for fast charging of big packs with BMS, RC chargers for those little RC toy LiPo packs, and UN-A6 and BC168 to do balancing of big packs before assembly or also for charging small RC packs. Those chargers are really convenient and i wouldn't like to miss them.ebike11 said:The Q6 only discharges at a VERY slow rate. I thought it was gonna be a much more effective product.
If there is a gap in cells then youll have to wait for a long time to dischage before charging them again
So would a BC168 be a better choice to handle large pouch packs rather than the Q6?
My cells are very large pouch cells for my ebike not hobby toys
Thx
