[NSRCA-discussion] LiPo Fun Fact 'O The Day

Depends upon the lipos temperature at the beginning of charge.  If you place it on the charger right after a flight when it’s warm, it will cool down as it charges.  If it’s cool when you place it on the charger, it might warm very slightly depending upon the charge rate.

Nope.  If you had another guess?

  They do warm up when charging, even at low rates.  It's the physics behind Ohms law that governs some of that.  It may not be very noticeable, but it is happening nonetheless.

    I would say "C" below:  I have never had a lipo pack get warm during charging.  That's because i always charge somewhere between 1.8-2.0 C.  For my electric planes I buy enough batteries so I do not have to hurry-charge in order to get back into the air.  I charge the lipos in my starter & glow igniter at home in the shop when I have plenty of time.  Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I do not use $150.00 battery packs, and none of my electric planes are for pattern.
