Hey there, I'm considering buying this charger board but have some concerns that I'd like to ask before i do.

1. Does charging the battery with this board overheat when using a phone/laptop usb-c charger?
2. Does this board support balanced charging of the cells?

At least as of June 2020, there have been user-complaints that the board has the above two issues. Joshua Bardwell mentions the problems in a comparison against a competing radio; the video is of around June 2020 as mentioned ( Timestamp of reference is 6m32s, Link to the video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ddMP2gnZQck&t=6m32s ). I'd appreciate the clarification so I can decide on the purchase.

Thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

it is still recommended to use a .5amp output usb power supply, USB C chargers usually have much higher current and some higher voltage outputs which can cause overheating and damage to the charging board.
