Battery options for the FrSky Taranis Q X7 | Does your Taranis need a battery upgrade?

You can get one right now:

I actually don’t mind using AA batteries in my FrSky Taranis Q X7. But it is really a backup radio for me. Eventually they would get expensive, so either you need rechargeable AA batteries you can swap out on it, or something like this. The LiFePO4 battery should give you a much longer lasting charge and is rechargeable. Just make sure you set your charger to either LiFE or A123 so you can charge them. If you charge them like LiPo batteries you could damage them or worse, start a fire.

I use the LiFe battery's from the beginning for the Taranis Q-X7. They work like a charm :P

[joelbeteta]

you are the best brother, I spent almost 1 week trying to solve this problem I thought that my charger was failing or that the battery had been bad, until I found your video to save me almost 100 dollars with which I thought to buy another charger when it was only modify the voltage input on the radio control seriously thank you very much

Normally I use the battery pack that came with the Q-X7 but if I have to charge it it's nice to have the tray for AA's. Also, on page 1 under radio setup there is an inactivity alarm you can set. Thanks for the vid man.

Thanks for the video! I have the x7s and have the nimh as a spare and a lumenier 2100 life battery as my main. For my range, I put it to 6 - 6.8 as it drops from 7.2 to 6.8 nearly immediately.

Could you please tell me how to charge this thing. I bought an e680 SKYRC charger but I can't connect it cause it has an XT60 wire and this battery not, I can't find right wire to connect them. From 2p to xt 60 .

This was very helpful. Bought the same battery, thank you.

EDIT: I have CRSF and this battery drains FAST. Don't buy it.

Thanks for posting this review! I like rechargeable/replaceable batteries much better than the standard AAs... I'll have to check my Hi-Tec X2ACplus to see if it does the LiFePo variety... Keep doing the good that you do!

They no longer come with the AA battery tray. But they don't come with a battery either.

[pigxx]

thanks man!
This video helped me out with this battery.

Bought the same, just start with fpv =]

[DroneOn]

Lipo is cost effective! The biggest plus.
Don't feel bad. I have been known to leave a radio on and forget to turn it off myself.

This battry is awesome I put it in my radio and it works perfectly thanks for posting this vid!

once you put rechargeable battery in can you charge via usb without taking battery out...or do you have to buy a separate battery charger?

[HEYITSMARKOO]

Can you connect it with your 4s LiPo battery which you're using for flying your quad?

[valvegramp]

yep fitted a 2000mah in my new Q7 and reset the battery on page one and surprise it works a treat and you dont have that voice telling you that battery is low

[aidanhughes]

Have u seen the new FrSky Horus transmitter? It looks so good. The golf and the black though 😍

[thelazerproject]

HELL YES, just bought that radio and I was wondering if I needed to buy rechargeable batteries, turns out I can just put some AA batteries in there and im ready to go

[Hellmuthsilva]

When you calibrate it do you put 7.2? Because using 6.6 will show the battery half way when is full

[mokanin]

Is it dangerous to keep the battery fully charged in the radio if you don't use it very often?

[gomaknam]

Thanks for posting this review!+ - even without pulling off the line, with the balance as the line Is there a problem?
