Having seen a few people push the lipo longer than myself. For a quad or a wing how far to people hammer the batteries.
What for others risk trade off ?
I tend to stick as 3.5V and 3.3V and charge at 1-2C, depending if I am out in the field or at home.
The warning voltage should be set to a value where you can still land safely, usually 3.6-3.5V.
The minimum voltage should be set to a value where damage is imminent, usually 3.3V.
If you fly a battery to less than 3.3V, it will start to be damaged and will not be able to hold a charge anymore, and can even be dangerous
What do people set as warning voltage - how far can/do you push it ?
- Warning voltage 3.6V
- Warning voltage 3.5V
- Warning voltage 3.4V
- Warning voltage 3.3V
- Warning voltage 3.2V
- Warning voltage 3.1V
- Warning voltage 3.0V
- Warning ?
What do people set as Min voltage (can show as the skull symbol) - how far can/do you push it ?
- Min voltage 3.3V
- Min voltage 3.2V
- Min voltage 3.1V
- Min voltage 3.0V
- Min voltage 2.9V
- Min voltage 2.8V
- Min voltage is when throttle becomes unresponsive ?
How fast to charge, C Rating, e.g a 1,000 mah battery charging at 1,000 mA or 1A would be 1C and at 2A would be 2C.
When at home …
- Change at 1C
- Change at 2C
- Change at 3C
- Change via the solar gods.
When in the field …
- Change at 1C
- Change at 2C
- Change at 3C
- Change via the solar gods.
- One battery at a time
- Parallel charging is fun
Discharge your batteries you did not fly ?
- All nicely down and balanced.
- Just check down to 3.6-3.9V
- Only by flying
- Never
