What are you favourite lipo batteries to use? 😎

@DavidStevenson-dy8kq 3 года назад

Really helpful video tom. I use r line 6s 1400mah 120c v3

@cedharb1899 3 года назад

R-line !

@WillHsuAerial 3 года назад

R Line for sure !

CNHL MiniStar 1500mAh 4S / Thanks for the great Content Tom! 😊👍

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

@@DavidStevenson-dy8kq Thanks! I use those as well, great batteries!

@ukmonk 2 месяца назад

thank you! really wanna get into more 'pro' style drones but the charging seems overly complicated lol! hopefully it will get easier when I start doing it!

@MaRa-rn4pu 3 года назад

Nice video! For beginners like me, any information is valuable, no matter how many times I have read about it or watched it in other videos. And there are always so many questions about batteries. Hvala! :)

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

Hvala za ogled Marko! :)

@matejplaninsic4353 3 года назад

I usually field charge my batteries from 4,15-4,35V and use them right away. It gives you 20s of extra power and a little longer flight time, meanwhile it doesnt degrade batteries becouse of very short time at HV. Also like your videos

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

Good info! I also try to field charge as often as possible or just a few hours before flying... but a lot of times I have an early morning filmmaking project.. so I have to charge them one day before already... Najlepša hvala Matej :)

@lubibubi6380 2 года назад

3 or 4C????? Deam I guess this is really high. I don't even like to charge them with 2C😂

@shutdahellup69420 2 года назад

Fr every time i charge them i feel like a grenade is about to go off.

A great video for us beginners! Thanks for the great knowledge

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! :)

@SirCrashaLot Год назад

Two important things. Either remove the seal from ammo box or drill hold on top to prevent it from exploding when lipo goes off. There is a lot of gases being made when lipos set off. Secondly the lipo bad you showed is of low quality, please check torvol lipo bag and test they made ( setting off 12 charged lipos inside )

@carsonlight_lapse6394 3 года назад

Something about the C rating, to be honest the C rating depends on the capacity, for example, a 850mah 100C means it can output 85 Amp max (ie 0.85*100), but a 1300mah 100C (ie 1.3*100) can output for 130Amp max. Basically C rating means how much Amp you can pull without damaging the battery. Just know that 100C is not always the best case for each lipo. (Always check how much Amp your drone probably draws so you can choose the correct rating lipo)

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

Thanks for the info Carson!

@gimbalair 2 года назад

For someone new to FPV, this was a perfect explanation for me. Thank you for putting it together. The frustration I have is my charger is a single input only. I know I can spend a lot of money on dual channel but you showed a device you can plug in the gives you ore ports. Can I plug that into my single channel charger and charger say 3 identical batterie at the same time? ie 3S 650mAh? Also if the maH falls between two points ie 0.6 or 0.7 which do i choose, a higher or the lower number?

@Kapharnaum92 3 года назад

For my new Sector v3, I got 1300mah Tattu v3 and 1550mah Tattu v3. Haven't had a chance to test them yet as I'm waiting for my dji v2 goggles but something to take into account is the weight. 1300 is at 210g and 1550 is at 250g. I will evaluate the ratio between extra weight / extra flight time / flight characteristics with both... Choosing the right battery is really not that simple.

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

Let me know how it flies with those batteries :)

Thanks Tom...

Thanks for watching Chris!

@cowboyfpv2464 3 года назад

Ore more of a challenge but in the cli you can set up a KV cut to set your motor to the disputed KV for when your running a higher s rating on a higher kv motor as long as your ESC/s are rated for a higher s rating like 6s you should be fine 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Ore you can just deal with the insane throttle curve you'll creat and warm motors 🤘🤘🤘

@tjeppenblondeel3784 3 года назад

Hi, when you are on the field, how are you charging? Are you using your car battery?

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

I have a custom made "powerbank" so I'm doing field charghing :)

@walasfilms Год назад

Hera if my batteries are LIHV? What would be the voltage to land the drone?

@cedharb1899 3 года назад

Great video for beginners. Good job Tom ! Also if your charging multiple batteries (1500mah 6s - 1300 mah 6s - 1800mah 6s for example) just add the capacity of all of them (1500 + 1300 + 1800 = 4600mah) to determine the desired 1C rating (in this case 4.6A). PS: I also burned a parallel board once, scary stuff xD

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

Thanks for the tip! Yeah that burn was a scary experience :D

HEllo Tom, great video! What mah and C value will you recommend for my 6S batteries on 6inch drone if I want to make mid range cinematic video? e fly slow and i want fly time improved tanks man.

@antoniofilipe70 2 года назад

Hello very nice video. Congrats. A GEPRC cinelog 35 tabled with 6S can use 4S battery? Where is the principal diference between this drone with 4S or 6S?

@tomstrojnik 2 года назад

6S = more cells = more juice = longer flight time and more power

@jimbo_bp8309 Год назад

Hey Guys im new to the fpv hobby and the first two batteries that have come with an rtf kit I bought two weeks ago have been screwed up. The company I bought them from has offered to buy new ones for me that I have too choose. The included ones were 4s 1100 mah 50c and Im just wondering whether it would be fine to buy 110c 4s battery 850 mah? Because they have double the c rating.

@kumarmithilesh1886 2 года назад

What the difference between smartphone battery and drone battery.

@gvibes69 9 месяцев назад

so its not recomended to adapt one off this to a normal camera drone that uses a eletric board in the battery inclosure and only 3 wires ( positive ,negative and the one wire for balancing the voltage ) but majority off 7.4v have 2 conectors one with normal positive and negative and one with nore three wires for balancing and charge !!! So what wires i conect to my board ???

@CarbonGlassMan 2 года назад

What's a good discharge C rating for a 7 inch used for chasing cars and motorcycles? I see for sale 4000mah 5s lipos with a 60C discharge rating. Is that enough? I currently fly my 7 inch to chase and some freestyle with 1550mah 100C 4s batteries. It flies pretty well this way.

@SamirKhan-mq6ib 11 месяцев назад

My drone don't arm kindly help,i am using 2s battery is it sufficient to arm

@PatrickGuerrisi 2 года назад

What about weight? Bigger mah = more weight but how much weight is too much weight? I have a 5 inch freestyle quad but would also like to do more range sometimes

@nahomyohannes9321 2 года назад

Can you help me i can do 5v dc motor if 5 dc motor do burn or no burn

@teyang666 3 года назад

What do you do when you don't plan on flying them in a while? Do you have to discharge them?

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

Yes, discharge to storage voltage 3.8 .

@xdpugachevx 3 года назад

Tom, thanks for the video! I am new to FPV. What mah and C value will you recommend for my 4S batteries on 5inch drone if I want to make cinematic video? I am thinking between 1500mah and 1800mah to have more time to fly.

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

TATTU R-LINE Version 3.0 14.8V 1800mAh 120C 4S :)

@XtianApi Год назад

I do not not agree with always charging at 1c If you don't need the speed, .half c will be nicer to the battery. It may take a year or so to see a difference, but it will be there. Below half c there really isn't an improvement. Also 5c is just too fast based on my knowledge. But, I'd be open to scientific arguments from anyone. I get that rline batteries have extremely low resistance and can deal with higher rates the easiest. But think if everyone watching. Someone has a pizza battery that they've been hard on the last year now says, "oh, 5c is cool sometimes." when in their case it'll kill that pack. I just wouldn't suggest it. For anyone confused, Gens ace are tattu. Tattu are gens ace. :)

What s your favorite lipo for nazgul5 v2? Now I am using lipo 6s funfly 1300...thanks

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

Those are great batteries, I use them as well... And I also use 6S R-line 1400mah 130C and they are the best ones from my experience

@Bart3run 3 года назад

How long the fully charged battery last unused? If u charge the battery few days before the flight would it hold the same voltage?

@tomstrojnik 3 года назад

Usually you want to go fly asap after charging it.. Each day the voltage decreases slightly and it's not good for the batteries longevity. But sometimes if I am on a filmmaking project, batteries stay full for 24-48 hours before I fly
