JST charge marker

myminifactory

I charge these rings onto the lipos with JST connectors before taking them to the field. Only charged batteries feature clear indicators, making it easy to tell which ones need a boost. The rings physically block the contacts, ensuring that you never forget to remove the indicators after recharging. This system is designed for tracking which batteries require charging after a trip out in the field. I'm considering printing rings in different colors to mark storage batteries that are already charged. It's an idea I haven't acted on yet, but it seems like a practical solution. The markers are quick and easy to print, making them a convenient option. The rings shown in the images were printed with a 0.3mm layer height. However, due to tight tolerances, you may need to adjust the print size slightly depending on your printer and setup. I've also created variants for XT60 connectors that can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:700056, as well as HXT4mm connectors at this location: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:701727
