And what about the discharge-balancing function of the balancer? Is this recommended? Can it take the place of balance charging?
Thanks!
I check mine about every 30 runs or if there is a sing of capacity loss.
Sofar I personally have yet to have any balancing issues and have a couple of packs with over a 100 runs on them.
I had a racer come up to me at the track that has a pack slightly out of balance and then we balanced it in about 30 with a balancer that does so in both discharge and charge modes.
i suggest to people that if you run in a clun with several other drivers it is very easy just to share a balancer amongst several drivers as it is seldom needed with our batteries.
