First person with the talent to explain concepts in order, using analogies and going from basic to related to applicable. I watched several videos about the topic before this one were they try to make it sound very complicated. Thanks for your simplicity. very useful and please keep them coming. Suggested topics: Use and good battery meter, what makes a better changer, motor / battery combinations, etc.

@thewillage, The 80% rule is about how much you discharge the battery. If you had a 1000mAh pack then you would not want to take out more then 800mAh before recharging, taking more can decrease the life of the battery. If your charger shows the number of mAh going back into the pack as it charges, make sure that it's not needing to put more than 80% back in. If it is, fly/drive the model for a shorter time. Hope this helps.

Joel, you can. Any charger worth it's salt will stop when it's fully charged so you'll just be topping up any charge that may have been lost. Try not to leave packs fully charged for weeks at a time though. If you are not going to use them, take them down to a storage charge (3.7v per cell), they will last longer that way. Hope this helps.

Douglas, thanks for the feedback. It's good to know that the video was useful. I had to figure a lot of this out via questions in forums in my early electric days and some was a little trial and error. Let me know if you need anything else explained. If you are new to electric then my 'Power Systems 101' video may be useful as a very high level intro to the subject. Thanks again.

Yes you can but a fully charged pack will keep its charge for weeks and weeks. If you don't use a charged pack, discharge it to 3.7v for storage. I have had packs puff up when I've left them fully charged for months without using them. Hope this help, happy flying!

@Gubernator45, the 20Wh is actually redundant here. All you need to know about the pack is already there in the other numbers - Watthours = voltage x ampshours (1800mah x 1.1volts = 20Watthours (Wh)). Basically it's the same as the 1800mah rating and shows how much 'power' is in the pack and how long that power would last. Hope this makes sense..

A storage charge is used when you will put the battery away for a number of weeks or months without using it. The storage charge makes sure that the battery never falls below the minimum level (3.5v) while stored away and doesn't involve any unnecessary electrical stress on the cells by storing them fully charged ( I have packs puff up after leaving them over winter fully charged) . I hope this makes sense.

@TheBigspecky, I started using the charger that you get with the modelsyou buy but always seemed to be waiting for the charge to finish. I then moved up to an IMAX B6, a copy of a Bantam model charger and found this a great improvement but had problems with the quality of the unit (balance charges didn't work well). I replaced that eventually with a 'real' Bantam BC6-10 charger and have been using that for everything for over 2 years. As with a lot of things - buy cheap, buy twice!

That sounds like a great way to treat your pack. You can keep the pack at charge for a week or more but the care you are taking with the LIPOs should result in a much longer life. I've looked at the specs for the Sv2 ESC and the car specs don't list the amperage. Your pack can deliver a huge amount of current so as long as the ESC and motor don't pull more you'll be fine. The rule of thumb I use is have 10% capacity extra from LIPO to ESC, ESC to Motor and you'll be fine. Hope this helps.

The amps used to charge the pack to a storage voltage should always be less one 'C'. i.e. in your case use 2.2amps to charge the pack and stop charging when the pack is at 3.8v. That's a nice voltage to store them at. Once you are ready to fly with them again, charge the pack using 2.2amps or less until each cell of the pack is at the 4.2v maximum. The entire pack will then read 12.6v - full charge for a 3s LIPO. Then you are ready to fly.

The latest generation of batteries are now allowing for faster recharging. Until now charging at 1c (i.e 2.1amps for a 2100mAh pack) was normal. With these new packs you can charge at 5 times the rated capacity i.e. 10.5 amps for a 2100mAh pack! Great is your charger can deliver that much power as the recharge time will be a fraction of what it would be at 1c as the energy gets into the pack that much faster. Hope this makes sense.

@martyisnuts, you will see poorer performance from your batteries in the cold. Like all batteries the LIPO relies on a chemical reaction to get the power back out of the pack and the low temperature makes this reaction 'sluggish'. You should keep the battery at room temp unitil you need it and expect to lose about a quarter of the flying time. Hope this helps,.

hi there, first of all thank you very very much for doing this nice explanation. i still have some questions, though: I'm flying a micro CP helicopter and it uses 1S lipos. with it came a wall charger with an LED. the things that bother me are: 1: if the battery gets low the heli's performance also lowers, so that's the sign for me to charge it. Is that practice okay, or is there a good chance of damaging the battery if i keep flying until it actually stops working (the heli)?

Storing your battery for along time with a full charge isn't good. Also, storing a battery with the minumum 3.5v can cause problems as the pack will slowly discharge when it's stored and take it below the minumum voltage. The answer is a storage charge, This is usually about 3.8v per cell and lets you put a pack into storage and avoid the pack discharging below 3.5v per cell and without the stress on the pack from having to hold a full charge for a period of time. Hope this helps,

Packs can puff out for many reasons- from pulling too many amps or not being cared for. I had two new LIPO packs puff up over winter when I stored them on a full charge accidently. The C rating on a pack is for a sustained discharge rate, You can pull more amps for a short period of time without damaging the packs.this 'burst rate' is sometimes printed on the pack and for very short period shouldn't damage the pack. If a pack puffs after being used within the C ratings then I'd get a refund.

This was a great video, thank you so much. I am brand new to RC flying and trying to commit all this to memory. I do have a question that I think I Understand but I want to ask to make sure. If I buy another lipo battery and I increase the MAH from 1500 (what the quad came with) to 2200 I would not be doing anything wrong to my quad? If I am understanding correctly than I would just be increasing the storage tank by buying the 2200 MAH battery. To me this would mean that I would increase flight time, correct? The 1500 MAH can be charged at 1.5 amps where the 2200 can be charged at 2.2 amps correct? Thanks for your help, I'm gonna go watch your video again.

You could always use something like this - www.banggood.com/Vensmile-IPC002-Plus-Windows-10-Intel-Z8300-2GB32GB-Wi-Fi-2_4GHz-5GHz-BT4_0-TV-Box-Windows-Mini-PC-p-1022297.html?Painless360&SKU339760MINIPC&Best of luck!

Thanks for the recommendation! For the computer mobo with its hardware the output requirement is: 19.5V 3.33A 65W and for the LCD output the requirement is 19V 2.1A! And I would be more than happy to get 30 min out of both with separate battery! Weight is not a factor nor number of batteries in parallel or series!

elie eid Hi Elie, tricky to answer without more detail but you need to be able to supply a little more than 160amps (4x40A). Weight is a factor as a lot of the model weight ends up in the LIPO pack. I would look at 4000mah packs with a 35c/40c burst spec. Larger packs will weigh more but give slightly longer flight times..

thank you sir for replying me.the total weight of my drone is about 7pound or 3.17515kg including all. you think 22.2V or less. and i am looking for flight an average of 15 or 20mm..

I would look for a 4-6s LIPO pack if you will be that heavy. You will need a LOT of mAh to fly for that length of time and a very low KV/large prop setup to be as efficient as possible. Long flight times with larger models is an art form.. Best of luck with the build.

hi there, your video is very informative but im still confuse, i have a motor with a maximum current of 38A and 40amp esc 16.6 volt max., may i ask what the best battery for a longer flight in this set up?. thank you
@Painless360
@Painless360 8 жыл бұрын
So you need a 3s LIPO (12.4V) or a 4S LIPO (16.8V). The more mAh the longer the flight..

if im going to use 5000 mah 4s lipo 25c, is it safe? will it not burn my 40amp esc?

It doesn't work that way. See our power videos in the 'Introduction to RC' playlist. Best of luck!

Hey, I want to know if you could switch out Lion battery of 7.4v 1100mah for a Lipo 11.1v 1000mah? higher volt and lower mah is from helicopter. Thanks.
@Painless360
@Painless360 11 жыл бұрын
Hi Viet, I would replace the Lion battery with a pack with a similar voltage. i.e. a 2s LIPO pack that will give out 8.4v fully charged and be at 7v when depleted. Similar to the LIon pack you alreadey use. You don't mention what you are putting the pack into but usually going from 7.4v to 11.1v on kit that can't handle it will cause a problem. If you are looking for longer run-times on the model then look at a 1800-2000mah 2S lipo pack and search to find the smallest one that will deliver the power you need. Hope this helps.

Hi, I got a question: If I can't find a 3S 4400mAh 45C to buy, can I strap together 2x 3S 2200mAh 45C batteries and hook them up in parallel (via a simple 2-into-1 XT60 connector & equivalent balancing lead)? Will that 2x 3S parallel set up still count as a 3S... or does that make it a 6S..?

+K Khalifah we have another video that covers this (Search for something like ' painless360 lipo series' to find it ). Parrallel will give you a 3s pack with 4000mah. Best of luck!
