Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries stand out for their impressive energy density, offering longer flight times compared to traditional LiPo batteries. The Lumenier NAV Li-ion Battery series is specifically designed for long-range FPV pilots who crave extended …

Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries are gaining popularity in the FPV drone community, prized for their higher capacity for the same weights compared to LiPo batteries. In this review, I’ll put the Auline 45A 6S 4000mAh Li-Ion …

BetaFPV has just launched a new connector for 2S batteries: the BT3.0. This innovative design streamlines your battery setup, while still offering a decent current rating between 12A and 20A. Before you dive in and …

Parallel charging is one of the biggest time-savers in FPV. If you have a pile of packs and only one or two charger channels, it lets you charge multiple batteries in roughly the same amount …

Long-range FPV drone flying requires batteries with high energy density for extended flight time, Li-ion batteries are an excellent choice for this purpose. In this tutorial, we will discuss the pros and cons of using …

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are commonly used in drones, but they can become hazardous if not handled properly. The inevitable question for RC hobbyists is how to get rid of old and damaged LiPo safely. …

Charging FPV drone LiPo batteries in the field allows you to fly longer without bringing too many packs. I will share my field charging solution which I think is more economical and practical than buying …

It’s common to accidentally get the balance lead chopped off with spinning prop. But luckily, it’s also easily avoidable with some practical measures. Make sure to keep the balance lead of your LiPo battery away from …

There are many reasons why you want to discharge LiPo batteries. Maybe you have fully charged LiPo left from a flight session, or maybe you just want to discharge them completely for disposal. I will …

If you over-discharge Lipo batteries, you can end up with dead cells that read zero volt and cannot be re-charged again. In this post I documented how I repaired/fixed a LiPo battery by removing the …

By default you can only get the total battery voltage with Crossfire telemetry. Here’s an easy trick to get averaged cell voltage from telemetry, so you don’t have to do the math in your head.

I built several LiPo dischargers in the past but all are designed to fully discharge batteries, and none have the ability to stop at a certain voltage. The URUAV LiPo Killer is a cheap and …
