So as we move farther away from the 2015 DOM of the Solo Battery I'm getting serious about battery alternatives.
I scored a pair of Gensace Tattu 4S1P 5200mAh 35C packs in their recent flash sale for $56 delivered.
I extracted the BMS using Gluebuster and attached the XT-60 and JST pigtail and connected my Tattu pack.
Using a HiTec hobby charger I set up a 1.0A trickle discharge with a 12v cut off. After a 5hr rest I read 0% charge and 0mAh.
I connect the drained pack to the Solo charger.
QUESTION-
At this point in the process do I charge to cutoff (Green lite on charger) OR do I do as done with the Battery Calibration charge for 48 hrs?
There have been several discussions regarding the feasibility of using one BMS that has been calibrated to a specific pack and having the ability to disconnect a spent pack after a flight and reconnect a same spec battery that has been balanced charged on a hobby charger (not through the BMS). In essence leaving the BMS attached to the Solo and swapping just the battery.
Is there any merit to this possibility?
Finally, is there any consequence to the BMS calibration when substituting the 5200/35C with the OEM 10C battery?
Thanks!
