Sorry about the camera focus in this one. Not sure what happened there...

[@wmcewa01]

Cine-nerds like you notice stuff I would never see in a million years. :)

[@photolab1656]

Out of context question : Is it important to calibrate your charger ?

[@FPV-ke1ef]

Hello my friend i have same this charger and my battery its 450 4s Lipo what is the best setup for it please thx 🙏

[@Tyoung152]

Hands down the most easily understood video on this topic for those of us who are easily baffled by jargon. The diagrams help a ton. Bless you

[@skylerbrehm1443]

Your editing is so sleek. If I just started, you would be the easiest person to understand. Thank you so much for making this, even though I already know everything ;)

[@MattPochwat]

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[@Tomithy]

he is the easiest person to understand : )

[@iWubmusic]

He is very clear just like amain hobby

[@VDTKvIDEOS]

Seriously, I just started and I agree, he is very easy to understand.

[@gamefreak6126]

Dude your videos are so good, great voice. I really love them you brought me fpv, you deserve so much more subscribers. Keep it going👌👌❤️

[@MattPochwat]

Haha thanks!

[@r.einstein9731]

He’ll have more subs soon... he’s just started... As soon as he gets more views his videos will be suggested by KZbin to more and more people. He will definitely improve his knowledge and will be among the greatest channels about FPV drones. I really like what motivates him: sharing what he is learning while he is learning.... this helps a lot of beginners that (some times) cannot follow what more experienced pilots are putting out there. Even though they have more knowledge and experience sometimes they forget all the difficulties and problems they had when they started. Matt is clearly sharing his experiences as he is facing and learning them... Can’t wait to see his progress (as a pilot and content creator) and the growth of his channel. Btw, the quality of the videos, the amount of effort he puts into them, and how natural he is speaking to the camera will definitely make his channel a great channel. I’ve been following since video one. I don’t even remember how I came across his first video, I am glad I did though.

[@ktsteve1289]

This will def be a top fav channel soon

[@motonewyork1100]

As someone who is just starting out with FPV, massive thank you for this video! Just THANK YOU!

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

Thank you for simplifying or rather, unifying everything in a totally understandable way that made sense 😎

[@PacoGValencia]

Man... this is so awesome for someone just getting back into the hobby like myself! Too often I feel like I'm lightyears behind and have to gather info from tons of different sources when I just want to know the basics to get started. Keep it up!

[@AKCobra1120]

I can sympathize. I recently just jumped back in myself after about 5 years away, and the mountain of knowledge that I've forgotten is absolutely frightening. I knew I was in trouble when I picked up my radio for the first time in years, and a big question mark appeared over my head as I wondered what the hell all of these damn buttons and switches were for!

[@samavella8831]

One of the best videos that I’ve seen on Parallel Charging. Simple, but yet detailed and to the point. Thank you!

[@liudasdm]

You won the internet with the most clear and stupid free parallel charge tutorial. Thank you!

[@cshobbycool1591]

Great review, this is one of my favorite channels now to know more of rc hobby items

[@tommcmannfilms]

As someone just getting into FPV this was incredibly helpful. Thank you for making this!

[@ZabDevin]

One of the best videos I've seen on this topic. Clear, concise, and useful. Outstanding job!

[@Matony]

Coming back to this video for like the tenth time. Thanks Matt 👍🏻

[@SB-zh6be]

Hey Matt! Just getting into flying - really appreciate the video on batteries, really helps take the stress out of such a potentially dangerous process. Keep up the great content!

[@RayOrsini]

Just got back into drones after several years. This information is priceless. Thank you so much for the great info and easy delivery.

[@jakemaughan3818]

Came for the information, stayed to analyze your style. Well done!!! Your content is fantastic and the videos are edited amazingly!

[@eatyourvegfpv]

Can't tell you how many times I've watched this video and many more of yours. EXTREMELY helpful. I haven't even got my first quad yet (literally sat here waiting for delivery today of a Mobular7 HD and some 2s batteries) but I have my charger (ISDT 608AC), TX16S and Attitude V5's and have used this video to understand all the things I hope I need to to stay safe and efficient with my batteries. Thank you so much. You've made an extremely confusing hobby for a total newb like me so much more understandable and given me much needed confidence. Can't wait to get flying!

[@zachmakesstuff1368]

your lipo videos are the most helpful videos for me as a beginner! Thanks for the simple explanations!

[@EbonySeraphim]

Additional tips and corrections from an RC heli pilot (we demand more out of our LiPos than FPV): 1. You don't need all batteries to be the same brand, or even the same capacity. Critically, they need to be the same cell count. Importantly, their voltages need to be close together. In fact, the reason you need them to be the same cell count is because different cell counts IS a different voltage on the pack. To describe what happens -- it isn't even an overcharge amount issue. The issue is the power delivered to each battery in the circuit, and for that matter -- as they exist in the circuit. The moment you wire up a lower voltage battery with higher voltage batteries, the laws of physics (E&M) will be pumping juice directly from the higher voltage batteries to the lower voltage ones and in an unrestrained manner. Basically, it's the bigger batteries that will start to overload the smaller one. 2. When you parallel charge, you can charge over 1C just the same as you would individual batteries. A parallel charging board presents the charger with a single large battery. Take that total capacity, and you can charge at 2C (or higher if you do) of that. 3. This was missing entirely from the discussion: but always balance charge your packs initially. I have a charger that can fast/slow/normal balance charge. I normal balance charge at the start of day, fast balance on the field. If you're going to discharge your pack promptly (within hours), you really don't need to balance charge it slowly with precision. Example: I always charge pairs of my 6s 5200mAh batteries at 20.8A. This is a 2C charge because in parallel it is logically a single 10400mAh battery, twice that is 20.8A. My 6s 6000mAh pairs are charged at 24A, etc.

[@Fundalf_the_greyt]

Hi, thanks for the comment, it's very informative. I'm curious, if you plug a 6s 1500MAh and a 6s 1300Mah, would you set the charge at 2.8A assuming 1C? Would it spread the 2.8 correctly 1.5/1.3 or 1.4A for each - charging the smaller one faster and somehow balancing between them once the voltage rises and tries to equalize? How does it work?

[@trymacs7729]

Nice Video! I am into FPV about 18 months now and I wish I had your videos when I started

[@MrSabram07]

Finally an explanation of balance charging that really made sense, thanks

[@commercialvideographer]

Thank you so much! Great info! New to FPV and this is the area I'm the most nervous.

[@ryswe]

this was a big help for me, i actually ordered this exact charger a few days ago so this was perfect for me! cheers

[@HKman98]

I like the way you explain all your stuff with writting it on a whiteboard and illustrating it as you go. Often others just spew out a barrage of Volts, Amps, and Watt numbers which makes it hard to follow along in your head. Thanks for the vid! helped me a bunch B-)

[@hisheeelijah1482]

Dude your approach ro teaching people is amazing. Its like the best teachers are never in the classroom but behind a camera.

[@lorenzoantoniazzi1718]

Thank you for this super well done video, very helpful, clear, detailed and with beautiful images and atmosphere, super cool!

[@missedme0063]

Thank you VERY much for making these videos! Just built my first drone and just had my first successfully flight thanks to all your videos :)

[@dunotn1]

The best explanation of Li-Po batteries charging I've ever seen. Thumbs up

[@Pepyrss]

You are covering every single question I have asked my self and went like omg where should I start?!? Love ALL your videos!

[@lucalive1302]

this is by far the best movie on yt that explains it so simply and accurately for a total beginner, great job

[@SeanPitts]

Thanks Matt! Your diagram helped immensely. I finally understand parallel charging.

[@unooo1812]

Best explanation of battery charging, subbed 👍

[@hrhodes2768]

I don't need this information as I have been in the hobby for a few years but for a beginner these tutorials are easy to understand, thoroughly explains everything and has accurate info keep it up man

[@baldersystemsllc4876]

Great info Matt! I have the same charger and one of the functions I use quite often is the storage function. I tend to bring my lipos up or down to 3.8V with this before parallel charging. This is also really convenient when it's time to charge up all my packs I know they are ready to go.

[@FPVSlice]

That's a really good tip! I was wondering what the best method would be in the real world to get them at a similar voltage.

[@trossbossinit]

Explained better than any other video on the internet. Thank you very much.

[@nazar5489]

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful!

[@vjvenida3991]

This would be the most comprehensive explanation of proper lipo parallel charging. Thank you very much.

[@MikeeB]

Literally the best explanation of how to charge batteries man. Keep it up botha!

[@makeitbetter9685]

As a beginner to this kind of stuff, I found this video extremely helpful. Thanks!

[@csmarkham]

Just found this channel searching for this specific topic. Great presentation. Subscribed.

[@shyfty_fpv3653]

Dude I love your videos. I’m waiting on my first FPV drone to get here Monday and I’ve been drowning in your content. I used your affiliate for the charger. Keep it up brotha!

[@martincloutier1399]

We couldn't ask for a better video on the subject. I was only looking for information on the parallel board. I have been charging my batteries one by one for a long time!!! Martin from Quebec City, Canada.

[@BELLOCCHIVERDE]

I am absolutely mu to this entire experience but not new to flying drones but I have been asking this question because I don’t know and sometimes it’s better to watch these videos where you can learn tricks and loopholes versus reading and everyone I’ve asked has never answered and here you are posting a video of the number one question I have and has not been answered... So thank you for taking the time

[@shotable8564]

Thanks for an informative video as always! You're my fpv professor and I'm learning a lot everyday.

[@MattPochwat]

I'm glad you like it! I'm no professor though. Just trying to make the basics a bit easier to understand 😅

[@Silent_cities]

Man, why didn't I find this before! so well explained. thank you!

[@fg.salomon]

You are th eeprfect guide to start into this World Matt, thanks again. I just bought a Lipo charger and the first tbin I did was to enter into your video haha.

[@ireshekanayake4844]

Dude, you explain this so simple. I am just few days away from buying my first fpv 5 inch mark 5 and I am going thru all your videos one by one. I am a Srilankan and there are probably less than 5 FPV drones/pilots in my country. Thank you so much!!!!

[@sumont5341]

Just finished your playlist. I learned a lot.

[@stevenshung81]

Thanks for this amazing video. No one explained such detail about charging battery.

[@FlyingAyam]

Even though I have a Mavic2, I know nothing about FPV drone. Luckily I found this channel before jumping into FPV. Big thanks mate.

[@moppyfpv]

This was SUPER helpful, thank you!

[@Tuuvas]

Dude your content really needs WAY more views. Liked and subbed, keep it up!

VERY good simple guide for us newbies! Subscribed!

[@flyineyeaerialfpv5592]

I looked all day on the internet while being subscribed to your channel before I got the right answer I was looking for that I found in no other videos about balance board charging and what to set the charger at as far as capacity...at 10:03 or somewhere around that time in the video you draw the diagram with 6 batteries and how they charge 1 ar a time at 1.5. So all day my question was do a multiply mah by the number of batteries. You have the best video on the internet about how to use a balance board and what to set charger at. Thanks very much. Liked, been subbed for a while amd hit the bell for all notifications. I have the dji fpv system and I started watching your videos about it months and months ago. Now I finally got my hands on the setup and love it. Got the built and tuned skyeliner HD with the dji air unit and the goggles and dji transmitter. I have flown about 20 packs with it and love it so much. I am definitely addicted to fpv now. I have been flying the mavic air 2 and the Autel Evo 2 camera drones before getting into fpv. Absolutely love it. Thanks again for the video
