KOKAM 402 new software Charger
Kokam is the manufacturer of one of the best rechargeable Lipo batteries available. As a responsible manufacturer Kokam made a study of accidents which happened in the early days of the Lipo cells. The result was:
Over 92% of all accidents were caused due to overchargin and wrong charger settings.
What is this? Lithium Polymer batteries have a very critical charge cycle which has to be closely monitored by the charger sensors. The powerful Lithium cells may only be charged to a maximum of 4.16 Volts per cell. That means a 2 S battery would have a limit of 2x 4.16 V = 8.32 Volts etc.
If the charger setting is wrong (too high), for example set to 3 cells the voltage would exceed the maximum level and a devastating process would start, which results in burning of the battery.
It sounds simple, but a lot of guys had 2-3 or even 4 cell packs as well as 2 cell packs. If they forgot to re-adjust to 2 cells after charging a 4 cell battery, a violent fire was inevitable.
We charge already for more than 8 months now still the same batteries and have no problems.
It is save to use and charge Lipos if you watch what you are doing.
