Morning all, well the topic kinda describes things,
The weather here cleared enough to fly this weekend, started charging batteries early for both the drones, a black Holy Stone HS 200 and my D80.
The HS 200 is the untested CL purchase from last weekend and the D80 I've had for a while.
The HS came with a total of 5 batteries, all S1's 650mHa, the one in the HS was the one sold with the drone and the other 4 were purchased as a package deal with the 4 in one charge kit.
All 4 can be charged at one time on that charger, took about 45min for the batteries to charge, flight time of the one that came in the drone was around 7min, of the other 4 only two of them had decent flight times,
So here's what I think I'm understanding about these little cells, this morning I wanted to get them all to storage charge, I check IR of all of the batteries before putting the storage charge to them.
The ones with lower IR took a several min's to get finished, the ones with high IR took much less time and those I believe to be the ones that didn't perform well, short flight times.
None of those batteries were marked so I'm not sure which was which except for the one that came in the drone.
Does anybody know what is an acceptable IR for these little single cells'?
Two in the 3 digit ohm's and the other three in double digit ohms. and the one with the lowest IR reading took the longest to charge for storage.
Also I understand that with these mass produced batteries there might be connector problems, that's something I'll check at work with my higher end multi-meter.
After putting a storage charge in all of them I marked them according to IR, maybe should have marked them before but it's a learning curve and fun.
Oh yeah, about the topic title, I did a lot of walking looking for my downed HS from the first flight, it was windy, it was a very long foot ball field,,, think I'll paint it red,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
