Hi all,
I have an 8S system from connecting two 4S batteries in series. When I check the balance leads on each battery when connected and powering the model, every cell adds approx 4V so they read 16V each (depending on charge of course). This is perfect I thought, I plug in an FrSky MLVSS (telemetry Voltmeter) on one battery and the center burner gets its power from the other.
I fried the 1-6S voltmeter straight away but the center burner worked, but only for a while. So then I decided to take the power to the center burner from the the pin closest to ground on one battery, thinking it would be max 5S, but a bright blue spark told me that is not the case. So now to my question: When connected in series, how much voltage do I get on each pin on the batteries? My voltmeter says 4-16V on each battery, but my burnt telemetry voltmeter and center burner are contradicting this. So how does it work and how to fix it?
Grateful for any input.
