There are too many comments asking why I didnt split the cells of this battery, to make it 5S. All other cells had terrible internal resistance and were also useless from being abused on speed runs for you! Despite that I dont endorse splitting cells, If you are fine with doing it then have at it but just like the instruction manual that comes with some lipos I have a responsibility to new people in the hobby not to open the battery and burn their house down. This device is for killing those puffed and damaged lipos that could do that and people who dont have the luxury of a recycling center. I dont have a battery sponsor., I buy all my own batteries. So wanna split your batteries? Fine thats on you not me.
Dont like this product? move on. Cheers

AndyRC what lipo cell checker did you use in this video ?
this one bit.ly/2CFsFVD
AndyRC Thank you!
Duuuude! Don't kill it.. Frankenstein it into 2 x 2s lipos for your goggles or a 4s or a 5s..(if u know what you are doing).. the other cells were fine. Just saying thats what I would have done 🙄
Oh ignore me.. I Just saw your last few responses 😅
Good product all the same, I guess it is needed.
:) thanks for looking down the comments cheers.
You could have turned that 6S into a 5S ... "waste not .. want not" . You could also kill unwanted Lipos by filling a 5 gal. utility bucket with salt water, and just throwing the battery in there. For an exciting method (and I've seen this done on YT ), you simply get a large 10 penny nail (like the ones used for holding up house gutters) and with one smack of the hammer, pound it thru all the cells (wear eye protection and gloves). Not a recommended method, but some people might be looking for 'fireworks' for the upcoming New Year celebration .. ha ha! Myself, I have some 100 watt & 200 watt power resistors that are low ohms ( 0.5 to 6 ohms) and I can use alligator jumper wires to connect one of those across the XT-60 .. Place the power resistor on an empty aluminum cat food tin (heat sink) and help warm up your home whilst killing Lipos. As a retired Sr. Electronic Tech, I could tell you some interesting stories of what Techs do to "liven up the day" (intentionally create magic smoke and/or loud bangs). Happy New Year ... Cheers.
I try not to encourage splitting cells Bill. If someone new tries it and it goes wrong there are enough reasons new people are leaving this hobby as it is. the salt water thing works but it wont read 0 volts for a couple of weeks. the fumes given off from puncturing them are toxic. So I think this is a good safe product for someone who has safety concerns. but thanks for your input as always
I believe that the plastic part and standoffs are for mounting on the back to clear the hot parts of the table when it’s discharging...
I thought this plate was to insulate the board to make it safe to put it on conductive ground :D
Hey Andy two things. Well actually three things! First, absolutely love the channel. Thank you so much for your contributions to our hobby. Second thing the plastic piece and the standoffs are designed to be attached to the circuitboard in a way that guarantees airflow under the board even if you set it down on a flat surface. And third still the safest and most effective way to discharge or “kill” a lipo battery is in a metal bucket filled with salt water!
it takes two weeks to kill a lipo like that
Very useful little gadget 😁 I see some are saying in the comments that you can cut off the healthy cells and make a 4s or 2s lipo which you could do but that's only a good idea if you know what you're doing. Buckets of salt water and nails are also only for those who know what there doing. Pluging it into a £4 board and leaving it is by far the safest option and the only one you could recommend without the danger of being sued. Thanks Andy 👍👍
finally someone with some sense. cheers Richard
Its NOT hard to make a 6s into a 4 s. Usually there are pairs of cells so if one is dead, the other connecting cell is at risk. Its easy to remove the dead cell. You can leave the others hooked up to the board on the battery. Just clip the charging positive and negative wires from the dead cell and carefully remove the dead soldier from the pack. There are many videos out there that show how its done.
Anyone out there that charges unattended be warned
One of my "project batts" puffed more wildly than I've ever seen, produced heat God knows how it would have ended-
Flew with a guy lost his house
Coming from someone with many years in the electronic industry, I agree Andy salt water is a bad idea when it comes to disposing of lipos. The salt water usually corrodes the cell connections first then doesn't allow the hermetically sealed cell a proper electrical path to complete the chemical/electrolysis discharge. To use this method efficiently you would have to cut open each cell, which is extremely dangerous with a lipo in a charged state. Sometimes the simple method is the best, like using a halogen globe outside in a safe environment to full discharge it. Then when fully discharged cut your connector off, strip the wires and twist them together and cover with insulating tape. Now your lipo is safe to dispose of and recycle. The lipo killer also looks like a winner and for the cost you would buy a few, however I wonder how long it would last considering electronics doesn't like heat. How hot do those resistors get? I think as a lipo storage discharger it may have a better market with the added feature of the kill circuit. BTW I think the plastic cover is to prevent the discharge resistors on the base from shorting out or burning you when the circuit is operating? Cheers for the review, cheap as beans so buy a few and good for the new kid who doesn't know what they are doing.
Cheap enough, and seems safe.
_Still prefer a big nail though_ :D
I bought three of these to use as cheap dischargers to storage voltage. I found that two of them intermittently wouldn't discharge a couple of of the 'middle' cells (all the LEDs lit up initially as the board booted up) ... if you unplugged the lead and plugged it back in enough times it eventually did work OK. Some of the solder joints where the pins for the balance plug connected to the PCB didn't look that great - I re-flowed all of these with a fine-tipped iron and that *seems* to have done the trick. All the SMD soldering on the boards looks good ... it was just where the pins were (hand?) soldered to the board. Worth a try if you get similar problems.
Nooooooo don’t kill it save your cells.
Very useful looking tool. Thanks for the review. 👍🤓
On a 6S you can also make a cheap series of two 55W 12V headlamp bulbs and put a small lipo checker on the balance lead to alarm when the voltage is at the value you selected.
Can you do a song with you playing “killing me softly” whilst killing lipos softly in the video? 😛
i was more thinking killin in the name of ;)
Heh, yeah that’s a good tune. Much better choice 😛
@@AndyRCchannel rage on:)
Salt water method ftw
that takes two weeks for a 1300 4s but sure it will work
@@AndyRCchannel true it takes a while but I don't have the extra cash to little accessories. I just prefer to have nice equipment (goggles, radio) and skimp on the extras
If you check the description there is a cheaper one for 3gbp id say it was cheaper than the salt ;)
@@AndyRCchannel I steal it from my parents
lol do they leave their wallets hanging around also? ;) haha just kiddin I do not endorse criminal activity :P
Don't suppose the balance wire is busted of the cell???. Just saying!
nah checked that.
Ok...Question, because I know your not supposed to let a lipo completely discharge to 0v, so what's the reason for actually killing a lipo..?
Wow, now my friends who are getting into the hobby don't have to buy a charger that can storage charge - that's awesome. And I can bring a small charger with me when I travel because I can use these to storage charge.
Thanks for the nice review! This is a very useful item, and it looks to be very safe, too! Happy New Year! :D
Those pads are probably for a buzzer or a sense wire.
so you can remotely check on it.
Wow! I ordered one of these chaps from Banggood on 30th Dec and it arrived today! Unheard of considering I live in remote Argyll.
Cool device. Thinking about getting a few of those
RDQ has one also made by the same guy as the lipo suction tool.
Handy it can also discharge to storage voltage. I am looking for an easy solution to either charge or discharge 4 x 1 cell lipo's, depending on their state. Makes it easier than 1 at a time. This could help with that solution.
Ofcourse I hope there will be an all in one solution some day :)
High voltage cells can't be balance discharged:
Tested on multiple 1S HV (4,35 Volt)
On 2 devices that I bought..
Haven't tried 2-6S HV yet, (don't have any) but read that it also doesn't work
(problem is that it doesn't start the balance discharge..)
i have a magic smoke stopper at least 😂
This is great Andy. And thanks for the links. In the meantime.. how do we get rid or discharge a lipo while the item ships on a slow boat? 😂
I guess there's no way to salvage them huh?
Altho someone did say to put them in the fridge to reduce the puffiness
Nice product info. Thanks
I noticed, that it doesn't storage discharge 1S HV 4,35 Volt..
Do you have the same problem ?
( haven't tried 2-6S HV yet..)
I kind of like this little thing.
same stu
ok ok ok... i will gather all those 1 2 and 3 and 4 cells and dispose of them properly,
Just ordered the expensive one. Thank you!
I have 2 chargers with the first I discharge the battery @nicad and with the secondary I can see the voltage of the cells with the batt meter option
thanks for sharing bud. i recently had problems with a r line 1300 100c 4's that only had about 10 cycles through it and it would show fully charged but then 30 seconds or so after take off the voltage would drop below 9 volts and it would fall out of the sky so i ended up making a 2's out of it but it wasnt cheap and it kinda left a sour taste in my mouth about tatu.but all my other tatu batteries have been fine
Your cell died because it's a Tattu... I've had a couple do that. Ditched Tattu. Went to CHNL. Been happy ever since
Will it Balance the Cells while discharge to storage ?
Really cool, especially when you damage a battery in the field. Having your pack plugged into this would make the ride home feel a bit more safe, lol!
for sure!
May have a use for folks lackjing a proper charger with similar functions. Thanks Andy, darn cheap enough to throw in the kit. Jeff
Thanks for the useful tip.
i've watched the all vidéo but i just can't figure WHAT does it do ?? What's the use ? If you have a dead cell the only way is to take it out the pack and change the cable no ?
the title tells you what it does cheers
hello Andy......i ll try keep this msg short mate....also i try keep following you some of your vids :) anyway to the point....when i started this drone fpv thing cause mostly i m a helicopter pilot ..like pro anymore i could say and mostly into Goblins SAB if you know.....i started with an Eachine QX95 ....quick question...i ended up with none working and i got 5 of them so i have many FC which in time after 3-4 flight always i had problems with the fc mostly with the fet or feds?! whatever....i have a tone of spare parts like 20+ motors 8520 ? camera and more than 50 batteries and 300 props for this one but i got tired of having the same thing after even 1 up to 4 flights....fet was dead or reciever..i replaced as many possible with all these 5 fc and full drones ...now i have arround 5000 points on bannggood and i dont want to see them gone without using them cause they will be deleted on the change of the year......IS THERE ANY RELIABLE DURABLE fc board...or at least any even RTF drone i can get to use the points and all these batteries 1 cell the props cameras motors etc? i was thinking the plastic qx90pro but i saw and your video that the fet died after the review and Albert kim not suggesting it....so...do you have any suggestion? i have the same thing and with lizard95 (3 of them totaly bought...until finaly i got something worth the money a Geprc Phoenix....night n day comparing to eachines...total 2-4s beast....i crashed it since day 1 indoors and some hard crashes too and still like new didnt even bend a prop...amazing thing anyway)...if you have any idea how to ise these parts instead of leave them die or throw them to carbage ....let me know if you have the time dude..thanks in advance :)
the original qx95 I have still works but back then they had no OSD im guessing you upgraded to the osd AIO version? those ones have died on me every time and now everything has moved to brushless i think the development stopped. only thing i can think of is try get hold of one of the original boards or the alienwii board. the thing that kills the fets on those boards is not disarming after a crash, motors stay running and burns them out. also if you crash a lot the motor shaft gets bent this also destroys the motor and burns the fet out. id look at getting yourself a tiny whoop. much more crash proof and can improve your skills.
@@AndyRCchannel that was fast...thanks....it was a long time ago...i still have them but noone working...after so many fc of the original qx95 do you still think is good idea? i have 2 fb which have still feds on them i could use if i get the same fc again for 6th time .....yea i moved of course to lizard95 after that...again same issues almost...always repairing things after 3-5 flights even without 1 crash...ended up with 3 or 4 of them? i lost one before i was going to upgrade the camera with a new runcam micro swift v2+tx200 but i lost it the same day.....yes my luck is shit too...this goes to my helis too.....got a 3000euros damage last week lol....fucking fustrating ..after 400+ flights without a tiny scratch on them.....now i am with the phoenix of geprc like i said...quality durability is extraordinary comparing to eachine...like i said i have crashed it even indoors and it did damage to anything it crashed and it didnt bend even one prop...
The QX95s might also be an option, very durable frame, uses 0820 motors and also these props i think. And it offeres osd and recovery beeper
@@m.d.6649 thanks........i still thinking about what i will do....from motors and beepers man i have like millions :) lol.....as for the durability of the frame you mention... i dont know...are you sure? :)
@@AcidJunkiez my friend was fliing one untill i crashed this thing so hard that it ripped a connector from the main PCB because a motor flew off and the frame is still in one piece.
Its also quite powerful and could easyly compete with my 65mm brushless US65.
And it would be sad to throw all the spare parts away
I use a 50w Resister. Cheap and quick
Always have you on standby bro lol
Merci pour la présentation.
Can I storage discharge 1 S battery's with it ?
Handy little device.
PFFFFFTH i kill mine safely with punchouts. =oP
so do I but it doesnt kill em enough, this is like the finishing move haha
Not sure what it is and I hesitate to participate in negativity but I've been bardwell free free for months now and feel much happier
Now feel better that's out - if you're addicted to media might as well use the good stuff unless you're desperate
Might boil down to personality
What was the issue you had with josh? I dont watch a lot of videos because im too busy making my own. But i cant keep up with the betaflight changes!
@@AndyRCchannel yes hes king for that- but I get sick of my quads not flying for some firmware update and leave good enough alone until real magic comes along
I went off a while then back until pomposity? Conciept? Attempts at humor? killed it again. I might be getting old and irritable but I know what spins my prop and andyrc works good with no bad aftertaste pls dont change (cold day in hell)
ah thanks, yeah iv stopped trying these unofficial releases of betaflight myself also and wait till its polished. happy with how most things fly atm
@@AndyRCchannel best magic for me is feeling connected in my passions never happier over and out- or as the late Stan Lee would have put it "nuff said"
Off into the wild blue yonder for me now- no wind no wind no wind or rain
What do you think about Gatwick?
go check out the last lets drone out podcast we went through it on there. cheers
Add to cart
If you have a bunch and your tight as hell 😝 Split the cells apart get rid of the dead ones and build the good cells back up 😉
What charger was that looks like the one I just bought
ISDT D2
@@AndyRCchannel hmm mines a Up610 200w think there's similar screens out there
Ps - Ive tried it- always living dangerously huh?
Ever hear a smile? I do
yeah lots of companies copying this form factor and software now

Hey Andy, Why Would You Want To Kill Them!? Just Take The Bad Cell Out Of The Pack & Use The Smaller Battery For Another Use!?? Make A Six Cell A 5s or 4s... Or a 4s A 3s ETC!!! Or If You Have A Few Packs With A Bad Cell Reuse Good Cells Together & Make One New Good One!!! OR Y'all Just Send Them All To Me For Recycling !!! Thanks
Yes this mad scientist agrees
It can be dangerous and its never advised to take cells apart especially when new people to the hobby find videos like that. Even if you know what you are doing there is a risk. and not everyone has a hazardous waste disposal close by, also if a battery is totally puffed its useless. and I have about 20 of those u want em? not easy shipping lipos where im from though ;)
@@AndyRCchannel yes I want them
Need the excitement and never disappointed
No wait dont want puffers but I've reconstructed good cells into new packs when desperate for a project works good
Well I Build Solar Power Walls & Such! Li-Ion & Li-Po Batteries Are REALLY Expensive & Maybe They Don't Have The Power To Fly Your Racing Quads 100+mph Butt They Are Still Plenty Good To Run Your Home Lights & Microwave Etc... Some People Just Have Money's To Burn I Guess!? Lol Thanks
they dont have money to burn, they just dont want their house to burn down... there is a difference, im lucky that a local company will buy lipos off me for recycling. not everyone has that convenience but having a job like that I can see why it would annoy you for sure
👍 👍
whats your steam?
i dont have a steam at the mo need to reinstall
First
useless stuff. Takes too long to discharge ...
