Getting the Most: Battery Break In

In this episode of Getting the Most I discuss LiPo battery break in using a technique that has proven to give consistent results utilizing advice and information from battery manufacturers.
Batteries are an expensive item with a limited lifespan... good break in is important!

Good to meet you Nick at HeliFest in the UK - thanks for coming over and Demo'ing for us. x

Nick.....you are my Heli God there is none higher.....I first spoke with you and your Dad back in 2005-10 ...you were patient and pushed me in the right direction....If my father were alive today he would also enjoy your demonstrations....thanks again for your Heli dedication and willingness to share...

Good video. Worth mentioning if you agree that in between flying days it’s good practice as well to store batteries at storage value of 3.80V per cell. 👍

I spy a specter v2 nitro on the screen saver in the background Nick. Can't wait for that mate.

[@Planehazza]

Just saw that and came to comment.

I find IR varies based on temp, a warmer battery has lower IR and performs better. Id like to see a discharge curve from a new battery vs a broken in battery to see if the average voltage is higher during the discharge period.

Dynomite, I’ll try your technique on these 3 new batteries I got. Thanks!

[@J.McFarlin]

Awesome video buddy. Now I know what I’m gonna pick your brain about this weekend. ;)

Good video, I kinda stopped paying real attention to battery break in , I might need to reinstate the process. Looking forward for the rest of the series. On a sidenote may I suggest a better mic setup for the workshop-table sections. I need to increase my level , to then getting hammered on the close up sections.

What do you do after flights. Store as is or put a storage charge on them. I’m new to electric helis.

How to handle the spark when you plug in the batteries? The ESC's that I have don't have an anti spark option.

Look at AS150 connectors

[@ShoopityDoopity]

Nice

How long does it take to do the 10 fly break in? Do you space it out over a few weeks or all in a day? Thanks

[@xypower8511]

Did you use the wrong English word? Why do I see you talking about 10 flies?

[@donnienicholson180]

@xypower8511 my apologies...the word was supposed to be weeks instead of flies

[@donnienicholson180]

Now I see.... 10 flight break-in. Not flies or weeks. Typing and working don't mix😁

[@xypower8511]

😅You may have used abbreviated English words. The translation software I used is clumsy and easy to misunderstand.@@donnienicholson180

飞行的场地距离你远吗？太远了，真的不太方便。
