UPDATE! When Charging, It's a good idea to set it to Lipo Balance Charge instead of Regular Lipo Charge.

On the charger, you want to select LIPO BALANCE, rather than LIPO charge, balance will charge and balance at the same time which is safer, lipo charge will ignore the balance wire or what they referred to as the communication plug

Everything I've read says most LiPo's 'charge rate' is 1C. So, for a 520mAh LiPo your talking 520/1,000=0.52 Amp charge rate. However, he's saying it's okay to double that (0.52 x 2 = 1.04 Amp Charge Rate). He's charging at 1.1 Amp (slightly more than double the charge rate). He's the expert but does get confusing with these batteries. I know it can differ by LiPo Battery but I rarely see 'charge rate' marked on the battery itself so I've been doing the 1C charge rate to date. Looks like your using a GN3Flight Power Lipo....

@@RGMGFitness yep so it’s sorta up to u in a way. Him charging at 2c poses zero fire risk but will slightly affect the long term health of the battery. 1C is basically a rate at which you’re totally safe but some batteries (like my cnhl) even claim to be safe for 5c charging. That’s probably safe too but I’m sure it’ll have affects on the long term health

When I first discovered fpv, I thought they were just weird looking toys... But 3 separately built drones, 2 gopros and way too much money on replacement components later - it's honestly been one of the most fulfilling and freedom inciting things I've ever done. It's made me want to travel again, talk to awesome people, and experience the world from a completely new light.

Tip to make your batteries last longer: charge your LiPos at 1C, aka 1.5A for your 1500mAh or 0.52A for example in your 520 mAh battery, you’ll be fine charging at 2C but the batteries will last the longest charging slowly. Hopefully you can make the batteries last that long, us FPV pilots tend to retire our LiPo packs from crashing too much :)

@RGMGFitness 3 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. 1C Charge Rate. Though, everything I've read says different batteries can support different charge rates (1C, 2C, up to 5C) depending on manufacturer. But I've never found the 'Charge Rates' labeled on the batteries or on the manufacturer web sites so I'm guessing people are just making assumptions many times on what they can get away with?

@andrewechang 3 жыл бұрын

RGMG Most LiPos can take a 3C charge rate, i’ve heard of people charging them at 5C when they’re in the field to get more flying time but all the super high charge rates deplete the lifespan by a lot and can potentially start a fire if the LiPo isn’t good quality

@RGMGFitness 3 жыл бұрын

@@andrewechang Thanks for the heads up. I've been very conservative to date (not knowing the limits). I really wish the Lipo manufacturers would specify this somewhere. Seems like no one wants to document it so we at least know the limits of the battery.

@linnyunt 3 жыл бұрын

I was really surprised that he was advocating charging at 2C. Especially since this video will be seen by loads of beginners. Every other FPV KZfaqr I've seen says charge at 1C. For the beginners, that means he should be charging at 1x the amperage of the battery. In this case, 0.55 amps and 1.5 amps for the larger LiPo.

@andrewechang 3 жыл бұрын

Lin Nyunt yeppp i usually destroy my lipos by crashing them before their lifespan is over but still good to make 1C a habit :)
