Much More LiPo Cell Balancer

Much More have released the LiPo Cell Balancer, designed to regulate the voltages of all cells in a lithium-polymer (LiPo) packs to very tight tolerances during charge and discharge functions. As opposed to non-balanced packs, balanced LiPo’s typically provide higher total voltage, which means more power to the motor system and the packs generally last longer as no individual cell ever becomes over charged, which is a big reason why some LiPo’s perform inadequately. A good balancing system also provides a very safe charging and discharging platform, which is critical when handling LiPo batteries. Cell balancer is designed to balance LiPo packs containing anywhere from 2 to 6 cells which are assembled in series and will keep the voltages of all cells in the pack within 20mV (0.02V) of each other at all times. Much More also provide a number of adaptor cables for use with the majority of packs available currently on the market.

Qualifying for the National class saw Kyosho racer Romain Jaureguy claim the pole position from Maxime Favrelle in 2nd and Frédéric Bourillon in 3rd, while in the Elite class it was round 2 winner Arnaud Chaussard on the top spot, putting his NT1 in front of team mates Thomas Eytard and Basile Concialdi. The National final saw a good start for the pole man Jaureguy but he dropped back early on and this left Maxime Favrelle in the lead for the majority of the race until his tyres went away near the very end and he was passed by eventual winner Frédéric Bourillon, leavin Favrelle in 2nd at the flag and Alexandre Basset in 3rd. In the Elite final, the race was dominated by Chaussard, who got into the lead and stayed there for the entire race while behind, the Serpent driver Michaël Derderian got passed Mickael Pontal who had a servo failure, and took the runner spot in the race 2 laps ahead of Mathieu Wullyamoz in 3rd.
