Best way to field charge an Axial SCX24 RC micro crawler using a battery bank
-Two methods on how to charge 2as lipo batteries in the field using a battery bank. TIMESTAMPS: 0:45 Isn't field charging pretty straight forward? Why not use a home charger? 1:15 Why stock charging setup is an issue. 1:55 Pictures of exploded batteries. 2:22 Criteria for new charging setup. 3:03 Method 1 Uses an Emax charging board. 6:29 Charging 4 350mah batteries at the same time. 7:19 What's in my field bag? 8:36 Reveal of new portable charger, ISDT H605 Air. 8:48 How small is the ISDT H605 Air? 9:17 SCX24 fits in the Chrome Kadet sling bag. 9:50 Description of the ISDT H605 Air and how it works. 10:45 What happens when your phone loses connection to the charger? 11:07 Why/how this charger meets the requirements. 11:29 Charger can charge more than just our small 2S 350mah batteries. 11:55 Pricing of everything. 12:45 ToolkitRC SC100 adapter cable, USB-C to XT60 ($10-13) 13:29 My PD 10,000mah battery bank (INIU $14-25) 13:45 Can charge a 350mah battery 18x. 13:50 Hooking up all the cables for the final setup. 13:54 Setting up the app, showing screenshots. 14:27 How does the setup look once wired up? 15:10 Screenshots of charging status. 15:17 Montage of course. 15:27 Why not having an onboard screen is a good thing. 16:50 This really is the best (and only way) to meet all the criteria for field charging. 17:37 Running video of modded SCX24 C10 I got used. SETUP REQUIREMENT: For my recommended Method 2 using the ISDT H605 Air charger, the battery bank that you pair it with must have PD charging capabilities AND run at 12v! It otherwise will not work b/c the ISDT H605 Air requires 10v minimum to operate. PRODUCTS USED IN THIS VIDEO: This is not a sponsored channel. I do not provide affiliate links. -- - Get these wherever you want. - ISDT H605 Air (I got mine from Newbeedrone b/c I like them and they have it in stock) - ToolkitRC SC100 XT60 to USB-C adapter cable (I got mine from Amazon) - XT 60 to JST PH2.0 adapter (I got mine from Aliexpress, find a seller over 97%) - Box to hold all the stuff (Daiso, a Japanese $1.75 store) - By sling bag by Chrome Industries. It's called the Chrome Kadet. There's newer versions out now. COMPARISON TO THE TOOLKITRC M4 POCKET: The reason I did not choose this charger is b/c the minimum output is 1amp, which is higher than our desired 0.3-0.4amp current to charge our 350mah batteries at 1C. The ISDT H605 Air is the only legit hobby grade portable charger that offers adjustability to such low output current which is what we want. I really did want to love this TOOLKITRC M4 Pocket. The M4 has adapters built in including USB-C input, XT30 and XT60 output, a screen and requires a lower voltage to operate. It can run on just 7v, which means it can operate on a 2S battery whereas the ISDT H605 requires 10v to operate. All specs are great except the most critical one for our use and that is that it needs to run on very low current/amps.
