just wondering if a simple two resistor voltage divider would work on a lipo?
or would it just burn the resistors up?
ive put a 4s lipo in my icycbe robot dog and its fine, except two cells run down before the other two are close to empty.
this is because it takes a 4s....but uses only 2s for logic and the full 4s for the motors. its hardwired to each battery terminal for each voltage so three power terminals out the batt and into my dog (0v, 8v, 16v).
it all works fine untill the logic and motors go way out of voltage ranges and he starts spazzzing before shutting down.
i was hoping to counteract the cell imbalancing with a simple voltage divider...and am just double checking if its plausible.
