Hi and good afternoon, well after a couple of days and a few fights and a battery tester that works for each cell I have good news, batteries don't go below 3.7 volts any cell at the end of the flight, drone won't power back up after it's landed on the fail-safe low battery mode functions. I...

Ok, the new batteries showed up, one is good the other has a mis-aligned power plug so it didn't fit in the compartment like it should. Took the back off the back of the pack and reset the alignment of the plug, charged all three packs for today's testing, both the new packs are holding slightly...

My brother moved to the Solomon's don't go there it cost a bundle just to charge your phone,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Went down to a hobby shop south of here hoping to find a wall of drone's,,,,,,,,,,, Nope, RC trucks everywhere bur they did have a small inexpensive battery tester, show's each cell's voltage, so with a full charge still in the battery from Thursday, I went to their local fly field, drove in...

Morning, so finally the work week has ended, paycheck in the bank, first pay bills then off to the hobby shop! I stopped there last week and they were out of just about everything from the Christmas sales so most of the time it was just a Q&A time. Me, not knowing much about the new batteries...

I think you misunderstood my post waffle, so let me clarify, I just purchased my first drone and this is my first venture into Lipo batteries, I did some research here and else where on the net. Here there seemed to be a paranoia about battery explosion, I did a search on Youtube of any video's...

I did a pin check at the three wire connector, 1.8v one one side, the other was at 2.4v, took the battery & charger to work and plugged in, monitored battery temp, no change in the time it was charging, when done 4.1v per side. Center wire is the common, outside pins are to the separate cells.

Weird, the last post I made about batteries is awaiting approval, anyway I did a youtube search on lipo's and explosions, seems that 99% of them are deliberate damage to the cells.

Morning, I thought about this and back when we were racing RC, we charged lot's and lot's of batteries, conditioned them in discharge boards, and yes they get hot when a full load is taken on them, also when charging at max rate, in those years I only maybe remember one pack went south and I...

I notice on my charging lead from the battery container there are three wires, one black and two white, are those to the individual cells, it's a twin pack, so like the black is a common ground to the two cells and the reds are independent positive leads to each cell?

I did a short search after making this topic post, I guess I answered my own question.

So if I fly my drone until the drone shut's itself off, that's the storage charge?

Ok, so I'm new here and to drones, My drone came with a lipo battery, it is shipped in a plastic bag, sits on the shelf until it's purchased. All safety precautions taken when charging, lipo safety bag and all, So here's my question, once fully charged how much of a risk is there with these...

Well, wouldn't you know it, as with any hobby, first time I can fly, Weather was raining, blowing, 4hrs later clear skies,,,,,, But 5hr battery charge time, not going to fly first time after sunset,,,, Oh well, there'll be other days,,,,,,, Read some reviews on the Blomiky, they read good so...

First ff I want to thank you guy's for the input, It came yesterday and we un-boxed last night after work, I guess I got a bit confused, thought I was getting the "NEW" D80 but it seems in my greed for a better price I purchased the all white D80, it is a Potenic but with the older camera, same...

The wiring wouldn't be an issue, I guess it's going to come down to the size of the battery compartment they've designed, The D80 is a cruiser, large props, and I understand as I increase the payload by changing battery types the compromise of the extra weight defeats flight time because of the...

Stopped by the local brick & mortar on the way home, talked for a while about several things including the battery question, until I have the unit and can examine the battery pack, may be able to modify the module to make it so that I can swap out batteries in the container, and it would be like...

Just purchased and now have a few questions, I've done a bit of research, watched some video's and this one kept coming up in the reviews as an ok beginner drone. Not too pricey, not a lot of bell's & whistle's but some features that seemed good. Brushless motors, return home, follow me and so...

Morning, I've made the first mistake of any hobby, purchase then ask,,,,, So the kid and I were watching football, the game we wanted to watch was blacked out in our area so channel surfed into a drone race,,,,,,,,, big mistake. I've always liked radio control, did the trucks & buggies for a...
