$2 Tool Will Save YOU THOUSANDS! - RC Hobby - TheRcSaylors 

if that link dont work go to amainhobbies.com look up skyrc gps

This video did not put me to sleep. It is very good information. Thanks for sharing.

Your Amazon Link Works fine, but it's $12, not 2... good info

I fly but did not no about this …..it grate Nate

@@busybody1474 For 5 pcs

☝️this

That

Stop lying to this poor guy.

I use them for my quads all the time.

not dead yet!

😂😂😂😂😂

Oh yes, Family members hate them too, I like Nat always put my thumb over the top when battery testing indoors to soften the noise.

That's me screwing around when people are sleeping loud

Awesome my friend! Glad you picked something up from this video. Makes me feel a lot better about making it 👍⚓😃

@@TheRcSaylors You made it well and chock full of info. These gauges seem like a silly little thing, but they're really useful and important, and far overlooked by our RU-vid community. I'm glad you made it, and I will certainly share it as the definitive video about cell maintenance. So, thanks again! I bought a fresh 5 pack just last week, and I see in the comments that a few other folks did, too lol

Very good question. The answer is Yes! It remembers the setting that you leave it on 👍⚓😃

TheRcSaylors Well you learn something new every day. Thanks.

Just be sure to BALANCE the pack, every time.

John Brown I have one too, although I rarely use my second battery because the first one lasts so long

Possibly the best $2 you could ever spend in this hobby 👍⚓😃

We are always doing our best to learn something every day too my friend 👍⚓😃

Fam Jay! Hope you are getting ready for a fun weekend 👍⚓😃

TheRcSaylors I am going take my drone to my sister place and she has lighthouse going to be awesome and amazing vids like always friends 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎

Lol, fair enough! Yeah I dont fly without one, and when we drive trucks we always have one handy 👍⚓😃

Ur right they are slightly off check batt with multimeter. But alarm. Is cool

Yeah we used to use stone knives too. You got guys that refuse to learn needed skills so they rest on "we used to do it back in......." Same with "smart chargers" for dumb people, some don't know and don't want to know what the values of the battery means. This comes from an attitude of just wanting to have fun and not doing anything that makes them feel uncomfortable. I think it can also be used to locate a lost plane if you shut off the transmitter it beeps.

"And while you're at it, get the batteries for the sound powered phone!" 🤣

Don't forget the left-handed Crescent Wrench!!

LOL You can also ask for a gallon of prop wash if you want to mess with folks.

@@johnisbell9220 Or a few yards of flight line.

Yes

👍⚓😃

If you can explain in even a fraction of a way that our video title is Not True, I will change the title right away.

@@TheRcSaylors to save thousands of dollars in batteries - how many batteries has someone to own?

He didn't say the title was not true, he said it's clickbait. Sure, it might theoretically be possible to 'save me THOUSANDS', but I'm sure you know very well that's pretty unlikely. In my opinion, this claim along with the caps is a little cringy, like you're underestimating the intelligence of your audience. Many other rc channels don't use this kind of clickbait and are very successful. You said you'd change the title if he could explain even a fraction of a way it's not true, here you go. This is part of the current title: "$2 Tool Will Save YOU THOUSANDS! " Using "will" implies that if I were to buy this tool, I'm 100% guaranteed to save a couple thousand dollars. That's completely false. The only case in which this could save me one or two lipos is if I don't have any battery telemetry or OSD voltage readout and if I don't keep track of flight time or don't notice the voltage sag while flying. And even then this wouldn't have saved my a couple thousand dollars because I think no one would actually keep on buying new batteries without beginning to wonder why they're all breaking.

I can’t remember whether Nate discussed those topics in his previous battery/charger videos, but perhaps he did. At any rate, just an FYI that those other videos exist, in case you are interested.

Glad we could help! Happy RCing 👍😁😎⚓️

I know it’s not exactly the video you are asking for, but I really think you’ll like this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J-Wg3O5WxAI.html

HORRIBLE idea to store your barriers fully charged.

Thank you very much! 👍😁😎⚓

They work with ground vehicles, sure. If the ESC has a LiPo mode (either permanent or set via a jumper pin), that mode will have a cutoff. Check the manual for instructions and to see which LiPo batteries will work (e.g. “compatible with 2S-3S batteries”). Beware of ESCs that are not LiPo-compatible or are configured in NiCd/NiMH mode. That usually means either no cutoff or one programmed at a voltage that is unsafe for LiPo’s. Provided there are no other issues (e.g. LiPo voltage exceeding what the electronics can take), you can use an alarm to advise you when to voluntarily quit, but you are doing so at your own risk.

Aircraft and boats benefit the most since they need a “limp home” capability that can result in excessively discharging the LiPo battery. If set appropriately, the alarm gives enough advance warning to safely allow a less hurried return. The fact that you can set a known trigger voltage is a decided advantage over the typically unknown trigger point of the vehicle’s built-in “alarm” (throttle cut, pulsing throttle, etc.). For ground vehicles, the consequences of a sudden, hard cutoff are (in most cases) minimal, so the alarm is more of a luxury accessory. (Your car won’t fall out of the sky or get stranded in the middle of the lake if it suddenly shuts down.) With an alarm, you still get the benefits of advance warning and a known trigger voltage. Also, the ability to do an at-a-glance check of the charge state (looking at the voltage readout), for estimating remaining runtime, is convenient. Great question!

Thanks Wild Child 😁 That means a lot 👍😎⚓

Thanks Ian! 👍😁😎⚓️

They come in super handy either way 😁👍⚓😎

Thanks Andy 😁👍😎⚓

You are very welcome 👍⚓😃 Thanks for tuning in!!

Sadly, yes. But we all used to do that before we knew! Don't feel bad, just don't do that any more 😉👍😁😎⚓

@@TheRcSaylors ye lol

Yeah you are absolutely right! Great for airsoft as well 👍 Thanks a lot for tuning and and kudos for using this awesome little tool ⚓😃

@@TheRcSaylors I just want to thank you three, or I guess 4 now, for what you do. You, Abby and Popeye have always been a great resource for honest feedback on all rc. Not just hobby grade. I bought many a toy grade for fun and experimentation based on your reviews. So again, thank you.
