why they didn't put a balance connector on it!

[@verve78arief]

Hi nice review.. can i use any 18650 battery fave for this case?

[@KremerFPV]

Thanks. Use unprotected batteries.

[@TheDrRow]

The banggood says: Requires 2x 3.7V Li-Ion 18650 style cells without protection circuit to function. But you profided in your link, says protected. Whats the difference, and will the protected ones work?

[@KremerFPV]

In my experience it will work with both.

[@jeremychotto2688]

My friend is it ok to storage charge these fatshark batteries?

[@KremerFPV]

Yes Jeremy.

[@theUAPwhisperer]

Summary says 18650 without circuit protection (button top batteries) however the link leads us to banggood website for 18650 button top batteries... 😵 so which is it? Does the attitude v5 only encase 18650 flat tops or both? What about radios, is 6000 mah too high?

[@KremerFPV]

Button top batteries should fit. I will try to verify it.

[@theUAPwhisperer]

@@KremerFPV thank you!

[@philthayer4087]

Will the protected li-ions fit?

[@KremerFPV]

According to Banggood - no.

[@theUAPwhisperer]

But according to reality,do they?

[@takiparilimpossivel]

does this case works with the aomway commanders?

[@KremerFPV]

Yes, it should work.

[@cyruscatfisher]

It does. I'm using it.

[@cyruscatfisher]

@Otter Fire Depends on the bats you're using, mate. 2500 mAh seem to work for a couple of hours.

[@syzygyfpv5135]

how do I charge these batteries?

[@KremerFPV]

The best way is to use a charger: bit.ly/2r2VqFq

[@syzygyfpv5135]

Gal Kremer thanks, appreciated!

[@KremerFPV]

My pleasure :-)

[@getignited114]

Best way is to add a wire to the middle of the balance port and solder it down on the metal piece that has the spring on it.. I'm using my normal charger with it

[@AlienPrague]

its not balance connector (1:16)...

[@KremerFPV]

You are right. It used to be a balance connector. Thank you for your comment :-)

[@AlienPrague]

it would be better that its balance connector :).. btw do you know if there is any protective electronic inside case one? I tried to charge it with ISDT charger on LiIon 2S without balance and it worked but im wondering if its safe? same with charger you showed in video, charger such this needs battery with internal protection am I right?

[@KremerFPV]

It does work, but Fatshark recommend to use an external charger. I would listen to them :-)

[@aomway773]

There is no balanced charging path in this one.

[@fpvstuff5891]

Can i use it for Other googles Can u charge it with normal lipo Charger because it Is li ion

[@KremerFPV]

Yes you can use it with other goggles. You can get a dedicated charger or get a charging case which will enable you to charge the batteries using your regular lipo battery charger.
