You did it but didn't SAY it. When plugging in a battery it makes a super loud beep. Put your finger over the speaker when plugging in the battery and your ears will thank you.
I had several of these when I first started flying. Weren't really as helpful as I thought they would be. Sometimes you would not hear it depending how noisy it was close to where you were standing. Say a lot of people talking, other planes staring up or just normal sound levels. Then there is that thing when more than one person has them... Whose is going off ? I learned really fast to set timers in the radio on my first devo 7. Then I got the Taranis and learned about throttle % timers. I learned how to set those and never looked back, never lost another battery to over drainage. Not only that but there was the added benefit that every pack (no matter what size when set) would go back home and show nearly the same rested voltage when being put back on the charger. MUCH MUCH better for your packs if you put the effort into setting them up.
Our TX16S etc transmitters certainly are great. But for anyone just getting started with cheap gear, you can buy a handful of these things for peanuts and chuck them in each toolbox and plane. They are rough - but indispensable.
@@ShahriarFarkhan This device is independent of the radio - simply connect to the batteries balance connector, press button to set your alarm threshold and done.
@@miksterr Thanks, the comment made it sound like it has the capacity to send battery telemetry to the TX16. Based on the video, it just provides an audible alarm when the battery runs down to the specified level.
Be aware that there are some alarms that does not work correctly. The correct working type does only beep when the voltage are at or below the set value. The incorrect working type is beeping constantly even if the voltage just briefly dropped to the set value, for example a short voltage sag. Very annoying.
You didn't have to murder a 3-cell for the video. CGI and practical effects could have prevented the death of another poor LiPo, (it's life destined to be too short already thanks to Josh's cold, uncaring thumbs... ruthless!) lol
