I can say that this channel provides more detailed info on the products than others... Really appreciate u man

[xjet]

Listen to this man, he knows what he's talking about. He has set more lipo batteries on fire than anyone else I know :-D

[DanielPerez-fcpr]

Great vid and thanks for all the their a reason why my battery blinks twice when I put it to charge

[mickquinn]

Love your comment 'link to overpriced fpv batteries'. Looking forward to hearing more about your builds and mods as pilots get more used to these quads.

Below 20 degrees oO My God... that's 3/4 of the year here in sunny Yorkshire.

Thanks for the information. Everything I needed to know is covered here.

I admit these are not cheap batteries however their features and build quality and smart features make these the best so far. In Australia these batteries cost AU$229 each or AU$429 for two including the battery charging hub which alone is AU$70, so the fly more kit is two batteries and one charging hub for AU$429.

I purchased an extra four sets of the fly more kit so now have eight of these smart batteries - so all up around AU$1, 840 for the four fly more on top of the AU$1, 600 for the FPV combo kit which also includes one of these batteries. Never cheap out on batteries for these high power / high drain devices like drones as its simply not worth the risk personally or hardware wise.

Thank you I really liked the info! Due to the nature of my work batteries are staying long time unused!

[ArtemKanash]

Hi!
Tell me what is better if I fly every day: half charge after flight and then full charge before next flight, OR leave ~15% after flight and full charge before next flight, OR full charge after flight and leave it charged to next day? Of course take 30-60minutes between charging and fly

[userman]

Is there any updates for the project you was talking about at 4:00 ( custom build charger for JPI FPV batteries ). really interesting project !

[beaulac]

After a flight session my batteries are at 20% (one led) after landing if I do not plan to fly the following days is it better to leave them like this or recharge them completely
Thank's
Nice vidéo!

Thank you for the great topic and video.

I am not quite sure about the 3 days term, when after this time the automatic discharging is triggered. I am used to fly RC helicopters, where the LiPo battery sets are also very expensive and thats why I immediately charging my all batteries to the storage level (3, 6-3, 85V per cell) after getting home after flying, like it is recommended by LiPo and LiOn producers. Than the lifetime is greatly improved by getting at the storage level as soon as possible (not in days, but in minutes).
I have asked my DJI dealer about the automatic discharging of DJI FPV batteries and he says, it is supposedly after 10 days for DJI FPV batteries. The mentioned 3 days are allegedly at e.g. DJI MAVIC, AIR batteries ... I had no time to check it yet, but it is no problem to find it out by measuring.
Anyway, even the 3 days are very long time. If it should be 10 days, it is very bad for their lifetime. The same with charging - it should be done immediately before flying. It simply means, not to let run the chemical processses in batterries in fully charged state, when it is very strong and it shortens significantly the batteries life. And conversely, also not let them fully discharged. This little care is money saver, even it is sometimes a bit bothering.

[stackck]

great video! Something I read was that you should charge the batteries to around 70% and charge them to 100% on the day you fly them. Is that overkill ?

[Toboldlygo]

thank you for all your information I'll put it to good use👍🏻⚡️✨

[menne-fpv]

Thanks Mad, really helpful. Looking forward to the chargers diy video. I just don't want to spend so much money on Fly and More combo

[Pouncer]

Hi Mad, thanks for an informative video!
I assume most what you said is also valid for the Mini 2's batteries?
One thing's is particular to the Mini 2 though, if you have the Fly More combo with the 3 bay charger be aware that it doubles as a power bank and can charge stuff off your flight batteries. But do NOT leave your batteries in the charger when long term storing them since they will not then self discharge!

[tomicmomir]

Can this battery also be used for the DJI Mini 2?
I got this battery as a present, but don't know how to use it.
Thank you and great content tho

[mlunden]

How about quick charger I bought one it works great. BUT is it good for battery life thanks bud

[ThomasAndersonFPV]

Me blasting the packs at full power, especially when they are fresh XD, but great video! Especially tapping the button to prevent discharge is great to know for a longer trip or so. 100% agree on all packs, don't fly unless you charged them within the last 48 hours.

[wabbadabbadoodaa]

So i heard that with DJI batteries, the last stage of charging balances the battery.
If you only charge back to 50 percent, aren't you leaving the cells in an unbalanced state during storage, and is this detrimental?
