How to Charge Orion Lipo Batteries
- 1). Remove your Orion battery from the device it is in. Let the battery cool before recharging. LiPo batteries get hot while in use, particularly if they are used in devices that require a lot of energy such an RC airplane.
- 2). Check the output voltage on the Orion LiPo battery. Compare it to the settings on your LiPo charger. Some chargers are preset while others have variable settings. It's important that you set your charger to the same volts as your battery, otherwise the battery will be damaged.
- 3). Set the amperes to 5 or less, if your LiPo charger has variable ampere settings. Setting it higher will result in damage. If you set it too low your battery will take a long while to charge.
- 4). Insert or connect your Orion LiPo battery to the charger. Turn on the charger and check the rate of voltage and amperes are correct, if your charger has variable settings.
- 5). Check the charge rate regularly, if your charger has a voltmeter. Most LiPo charges automatically detect when a battery is fully charged, and will turn off and display a green light. Chargers made for more complex LiPo battery packs require you to manage the charge and turn them off. Never allow the charge to exceed the output of your battery.
- 6). Turn off your charger and remove the LiPo batteries. Insert the charged batteries in your device.
