LiPo help
#16
I use Hobbyking's Turnigy Nanotech batteries and have no complaints.

An 1800mA/h 4S is going to weigh 207g. That's probably as much as the entire 210 quad weighs without battery!

It will fly like a bathtub.

Okay! Thanks for the honesty, that's the battery I ordered, the nano tech. I'll just go for a lower mah

I would check out RMRC and GetFPF, both American companies with great products and excellent customer service.

TomBDBad turned me on to Indestructable Quad's Black Label batteries @ $20 each.

So far they've managed to stand up to heavy abuse. In fact at the moment they're the only battery brand that I've used that I haven't yet destroyed any of them yet lol.

I've heard of those before I'm gonna check them out thank you!

I like get fpv i think I'm going to order a few things from there, like some different battery straps and a new flight controller. Gonna check out RMRC! Thank you!

On GetFPV: their brand lumenier batteries have all failed on me except 2 so far (I've owned 8 total). But I buy all kinds of stuff from those guys myself. Since I am in GA and they're in FL stuff usually gets to me in 2-3 days so they're kind of my go-to

One thing I'd like to add.

Research shows that the primary cause of battery degradation is storage at a high state of charge (full)
From what I could find there is no real downside in storing at 3,8 or 3,7 or 3,6 for that matter.
Low voltage does not impact the battery degradation much, having they laying arround at 4,2 does.
They reason you probably should store them at 3,8 is to ensure they lipo does not self-discharge to a rate in which the cells get permanent damage (3,8 gives you plenty of buffer for that)
And it makes parallel charging much easier as they all have the same voltage.

That being said, landing at 3,7v and just let the lipo be shouldnt really not be an issue at all.
Same go's for receiving a Lipo shipped at 30%, correct me if I'm wrong.
Check out my videos @ www.youtube.com/Marcelfint and let me know what you think!

You can also check the Tattu lipo's, they perform very well.

Thanks do much everyone you've been a big help.. I'll be posting in the coming weeks when I get my fc set up, my charger in, and everything running smooth. Much appreciated!

As long as each cell is @ ~3.7V, you should be fine.
If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT!

What i allways thought is, about LiPo voltages, is, 3.7 is the nominal voltage, 4.2 the charge voltage, 3.2 the minimal voltage,
hence > 3.7 + 0.5 or 3.7 -0.5
A LiIon (18650) has a minimal of 2.9 v
Maybe LiIon and LiPo are sometimes confused ?

I guess one should be always be above minimal because one have to return "to base" Smile
