I bought a Cetus X FPV Kit back in October along with 4 extra batteries, giving me a total of 8 batteries (BT2.0 450mAh 1S 30C). I’ve flown it around 6 times since then and during that time 5 of the eight batteries have died and show no voltage display when testing in the supplied charger.
I have just emailed BetaFPV and am awaiting a reply but wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar? Any recommendations for alternative batteries would be welcome, I’m reluctant to order more of the BetaFPV batteries for obvious reasons!
Hi. I left them uncharged (at about 3.7 ish volts I think) in the pocket of the case supplied by BetaFPV. They were fully charged the night before (4. something v).
The mah of the battery isn’t that important to get an exact match, you might find the 300mah batteries preform better. it’s a trade off
the 450mah will be heavier so the quad will have to work harder to keep it in the air.
The 300mah will be lighter and the quad won’t need to work as hard to keep it in the air the 2 scenarios will cancel each other out and probably give you around the same amount of flight time
Cheers. I thought that the 300mah would reduce the flight time significantly. I’ll give them a try, at the moment I have 5 of the 450mah batteries that are giving me zero flight time!
It will probably give you slightly reduced flight time, but the drone won’t be lifting the extra few grams of the 450mah so won’t need to use as much power so will be a slower power drain. I’d guess the difference will be negligible.
