Question Battery Protection Circuit

[WolfSquatch]

Hey everyone I just have a quick question about batteries. I'm pretty sure it'll work but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Would it be possible to use this protection circuit from some canon BP-915s, for these li-ion cells? This circuit was used with 18650s originally. Also the original capacity of those 18650s is 2400mah.

Yeah, you could. The lipo cell already has a protection PCB tho

Thank you! I am going to be using 2 of these lipos in parallel so I think it would be good to use it. That little board on the end is an overcharge protection circuit? Hmmm.

The Canon battery PCB is for a 2S cell arrangement. If you're running the lipos in parallel (1S) then the Canon PCB should not be used

My bad, I meant 2S for double the voltage. Thanks again

Just make sure that you don't connect a 2S lithium pack to an RVL-PMS. They're only designed for 1S arrangements and will instantly fry if supplied 2S voltage
