ONE THING!!! With RC Cars, the low voltage cutoff is RIGHT before the cell is about to drop to 3.0-3.2v usually, (per cell ofc) so you guys still ALWAYS want to use one of these because not doing so will 1: Have a chance of harming your bat or ECU and 2: not put it at storage having you to charge it afterwards if you're not gonna use it. Put one on anyways, it will save the life of your car, and it will save your lipos in the long run. Happy bashing

[@guypehaim1080]

I'm just getting into the hobby of RC flying and I found this video informative and worth watching and NOT boring. Thank you for bringing this out to us.

[@didactylos4diddy474]

A trick for newbies and those of us with fading memories/eyesight, marking the side where the ground is on the alarm/tester with a permanent marker makes it easier to align the balance lead correctly

[@donhurst8459]

[@barneydouglas9376]

New to the RC world, very glad I did! Have ordered my 5 pack today.

[@mikeb3427]

Just found this video! This is awesome. I have two of these gizmos and this video taught me so much. Please continue making these great videos. Love the plain language. I got out of the hobby 20 years ago in the NiCd days and just got back into it 3 years ago and the LiPos scared the hell out of me. Videos like this help me to feel more comfortable in knowing what I'm doing. Thank you so much.

[@glenesis]

So true, Nate! I love those things - I stash them everywhere. I had never noticed the little button! Thanks very much for the lesson, Saylors - not boring at all! Have a gorgeous day.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Awesome my friend! Glad you picked something up from this video. Makes me feel a lot better about making it 👍⚓😃

[@glenesis]

@@TheRcSaylors You made it well and chock full of info. These gauges seem like a silly little thing, but they're really useful and important, and far overlooked by our KZbin community. I'm glad you made it, and I will certainly share it as the definitive video about cell maintenance. So, thanks again! I bought a fresh 5 pack just last week, and I see in the comments that a few other folks did, too lol

[@TheWinger1008]

Just bought a 5 pack for $11.99 off Amazon. Won't fly another plane without these babies. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@Johnspenc2000]

I ordered the kit before the video was over. Thanks, don't want a house fire. I actually watched this video and ordered the kit while standing line to renew my drivers license.

[@williwonti]

Thanks for taking the time to make a video that would actually help a total noob. Most people have trouble teaching novices.

[@royhowdyshell241]

Way to go Nate we need more basic videos like this one. One where we can all learn something that helps us. Thanks millions

[@estern001]

Not boring. Inexpensive, important information. Refreshing! Hobbies tend to be, more marketing, less value.

[@alanlucas501]

I have bought four of these alarms. A massive thank you. Without you, I would never have known about these alarms. Keep making videos like this. They are extremely helpful. Love you guys, keep it up, you're great.👍👍👍👍😉

[@TheTootie52]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! By George, I think I've got it!! And I have a lot of work for it. GREAT job and great camera work, Abby!! 💟👍😘

[@petestachowiak1777]

Thanks for the information. I picked up a couple of these to use with my new Aeroscout. Have been flying fairly slow as I am learning so it is great to be able to fly until you hear the alarm. Have been getting 25 minute flights with lots of gliding. Fantastic information!!!

[@akalankaperera2821]

I'm new to this RC world and my lipo battery lasted only 1 month and I was so confused and now I got this. Thank you for the valuable info. This was the best video I've seen about this checker thing. You explained perfectly. 🙏

[@trevorc6793]

I use these in my RC boats, so I have half a chance of hearing Lipo voltage before they get stranded in the middle of the water. I soldered an LED to one of the buzzer connections for a visual too. Great & informative.

[@FarrellMcGovern]

Those things are freaking loud! Don't fool with them late at night if you have roomates! Having them come running because they think a smoke alarm has gone off is *not fun*! But, yes, I bought a bunch when someplace, I forget where, had them on sale for 5 for $5 USD. Great devices.

[@alanhafer828]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@druscanam]

Oh yes, Family members hate them too, I like Nat always put my thumb over the top when battery testing indoors to soften the noise.

[@bobravenscraft5376]

That's me screwing around when people are sleeping loud

[@KADEBOYXXL]

YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER, Nate. This is another excellent info training on the small extras you have learned along the way that mean so much to each of us. I flew my first R/C model plane a Top Flite model, the Top Dawg, with a galloping ghost radio in 1968. I learn something from you each time I watch The Rc Saylors, just goes to show you CAN teach an Olde Dawg new tricks!

[@pimpsterrrrr]

Got these about two years ago..... never used them. Mainly because I did not know or understand how to use them. After this video, I have a great working knowledge and know why to use them. Thanks, keep doing what your doing, I turn to you two for a lot if hobby and product info. You two are couple goals!

[@druscanam]

For sure, I have a few of these. Always good to leave one at home with your batteries and one in your car for when you go out.

[@alanhafer828]

Awesome video Nate ! Very important to know. That was the first thing I bought even before I had a lipo battery! I love your educational videos! I can't thank you enough for all you have taught me! Thanks again for another awesome video Nate & Abby !!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍😀

[@paulg.25]

Was using them to check my battery voltage after landing. Never knew they could monitor during flight ! Thanks for this video 👍

[@Rick_Retired]

Just re-entering RC world. Spent hours digesting info on LiPo batteries charging and storage, when I came across this video. With my new education this video is the most sensible one I've seen on KZbin and explained in a way that ties ALL of my learnings together. You even mention LiPo bags and ammo can although from what I've seen the bags are mostly worthless on their own! I will use a modified toolbox, a skill saw metal box, or a BBQ grill outside, on concrete, for ALL of my charging episodes. AND this little tool will always be within reach, or onboard my airplane. I would be a 3.6v alarmist lol because I might need a little longer to land and later find my self right at a consistent 3.8v storage charge. Thanks for this video and your introduction to the least expensive ESSENTIAL tool I've ever seen! Have a great day.

[@PatRiot-]

Absolutely true. Avoid complicated systems for battery management. Buy 1 of these for each lipo pack- enjoy.

[@camrowdrone6497]

I’ve got this,very handy when you have batteries hanging around and lose track which is charged 👍🏻

[@TheFlyingMasterChef]

I have been out of RC flying for over 20 years. WOW how things have changed. And I flew all gas engine planes at that time. Now just getting back into it (3D printing planes) and all the new electric planes is totally new to me. Thus, all this new battery usage is new to me. THANK YOU so much for saving me some money and keeping me and my family safer!!!! Your info is fantastic!!! Greg

[@nickviner1225]

Good video. Thanks. I have just taken delivery of a bunch of these and now know how to use them, thanks to you.

[@tonyaguillon8361]

Wow thanks Nate. I never knew to set it up for the alarm. I just used it to check voltage.

[@johnbrown8059]

I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago along with a AeroScout RTF plane and four extra smart batteries. I've been connecting the lipo alarm to the battery before I install it in the plane to check the readings. So far, I haven't flown the plane long enough to have the alarm sound (I've set it at 3.40). It is nice to be able to check the readings on the alarm when I'm finished flying. So far, I've been down to the 3.60 level. I bought the AeroScout RTF after viewing a couple of your videos on it and I've been thrilled with it so far!!!

[@melvinmcfly4498]

John Brown I have one too, although I rarely use my second battery because the first one lasts so long

[@JoneRich80]

This is so helpful - I didn't realise you could leave it plugged in whilst flying and wondered why the alarm was so loud!! Game changer!!

[@fpvclub7256]

Huh, I have two of these things kicking around somewhere.... now where did those things go... Thanks for reminding me. :D

Great video! I used to fly glow planes years ago and just now getting back into the hobby but going electric this time. No more spending hours cleaning oily planes. This was very helpful in increasing my understanding of caring for my batteries. Thanks.

[@punkrawk89]

I just got mine in the mail today. I'm getting back into flying after many years and I'm glad you guys are putting out all this content. Very helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

[@mikepereyra6419]

Thank you for the lesson Mr and Mrs RcSaylors, you guys ROCK!

[@marathon7man]

I’m so glad I watched this video. I’ve just got back into the hobby of RC planes and never used this in the past. I’ve been watching your channel for quite some time now as all your content is very enjoyable and informative to watch. This video is just perfect and I’ve now bought two alarms on Amazon for my 3S 2200mah G1 spektrums. Thanks Nate!

[@1stMarine]

I fully agree with everything you said on the video, I've been doing as you said for years, I've handed out these to fellow club members to help them save their planes and their batteries, they're also a great tool if the plane goes down in a field, serving as a great locator device once the charge naturally goes down even though it might be that night or the next day. I wrap a thin rubber band around mine to secure them to the balance plug so that it will not dislodge if the plane goes down so that I can find it in a tree or in a field with high wheat, corn or soy.

[@stevenbolam]

I had seen these previously on other channels and assumed they were expensive , then you guys mentioned in passing how cheap they are . Bought a pack of 5 for $10 Aus , they work great and even came with understandable instructions . Very helpful in ground vehicles also , as it's easy to just drive until the battery's nearly dead before you notice . The info re voltage level settings was useful to me , thanks very much .

[@nikleiser5888]

" Nobodys needs a Batterybuzzer! We simply fly(guestimate)the battery level according to the total flight time. that's how we do it since the beginning in the 70s" only a few quotes from my local RCClub. I personally always drive/fly with a battery buzzer. Thank you RCSaylors

[@jeffs7915]

Yeah we used to use stone knives too. You got guys that refuse to learn needed skills so they rest on "we used to do it back in......." Same with "smart chargers" for dumb people, some don't know and don't want to know what the values of the battery means. This comes from an attitude of just wanting to have fun and not doing anything that makes them feel uncomfortable. I think it can also be used to locate a lost plane if you shut off the transmitter it beeps.

[@RenaissanceMan929]

I'm glad I found this video because I just received an order for 20 pairs of XT-60 connectors and they threw in one of those checker/alarms free and now thanks to you guys I know what to do with it..

Great video, Have purchased these in past to check voltage, never realized how much more they can do! Thank you for explanation!!

[@skeeterhoney]

Bought a pack of five--still use the same one for all flights; it has more air time than anything else I own. TOTALLY worth it. I set it to go off at storage voltage so that I can just chuck the LiPo in its protective sleeve and not worry about it.

[@mybusy-ness836]

My son and I are doing the research to know as much as we can, as we plan on getting started in the R/C world in the coming months. While I have a very good understanding of electronics and electricity, your videos are dumbed down just enough to be sure I think of everything involved. Yet still informative enough that anyone can get all the info needed. Thank you so much for these excellent videos.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

10:25 If you want to make your batteries last much longer (total lifetime, not use time per charge), never ever charge individual cells above 4.15 V. Also, the lifetime will also improve if you never go below 3.6 V but if you always stay within 3.6 V and 4.15 V to make cells last longer, the Wh per charge you can get from the battery is obviously going to be lower. You get maybe 80% out if you stay within those voltages.
