Amprius Silicon Anode Charge instruction and Discharge curve
-
I have a Starling 2 and am using the 2S amprius silicon anode modalai battery that shipped with the drone. Says 3A charge, 4.2V/cell max, and 2.55V/cell min
Am I correct to be charging this with a standard LiPo balance charger with 3A to 4.2V/cell? That’s what I’ve been doing.
The 2.55V/cell is lower than I’m familiar with for lithium ion or polymer cells. Is there information available that shows the discharge voltage profile for these cells? Would you want to stop flying at 2.55V/cell? Or is this the absolute minimum you can reach before permanent damage occurs? I have been getting down to 3.7 or 3.6 v/cell and I start getting nervous that it will drop off quick, so I stop and charge.
Cheers!
