Optimal voltage setting for warning!!

broncosdad1317 · Mar 22, 2018

whats the best voltage to run the batteries to before you should bring it in for a landing. I run 4s 1300mah/1500mah 14.8v

My stock alarm starts chirping at like 15% And starts a solid noise at 10%. By the time im on the ground and unplugged its at like 8. Not sure if that's appropriate but its what's stock on mine.

I set mine to warn at 3.4v/cell. After sitting for a few minutes they'll settle at 3.8v which is a good storage voltage

M3talrocksFPV · Mar 23, 2018

Awesome, smart thinking with the storage voltage being the warning. I'm not 100% sure what my end voltage is, going out today so ill pay more attention and report back

I fly mine down to 14v on my osd and they come back up to storage voltage

M3talrocksFPV · Mar 23, 2018

Here at the park now, yea mine seems to be about the same, 14v, although I just took a mouth full of dead grass loss of video signal, my connection is trash

So figured out my issue with the interference with my video feed. My tx transceiver was vibrating like crazy, and got a new connection base for my antenna on my goggles. Crystal clear now

The guy at the hobby shop and I took like 3 hours going over EVERYTHING from sauder points to just basically rebuilding the thing lol (shout out to Friendly Hobbies, dudes are the best)

I set my warning at 3.5 per cell it seems to be working good

That's pretty low, my quad starts to have issues with flips and stuff at 3.8 but that could just be my motors needing the extra juice. When you go to charge back up their probably at like 3-5% I would imagine

FpvDemon518 · Mar 24, 2018

I am running 3s 1300mah 75c tattu batteries fully charged is 12.60 4.2 per cell 3.5 gives me good run time

M3talrocksFPV · Mar 24, 2018

That would make sense, I'm running 4s 1500 (arris) and 1300 (tattu), the 1500 is amazing and relatively cheap through arris. Plus I like the little longer battery for the balance.

FpvDemon518 · Mar 24, 2018

I got a 4s 1800mah 75c. I am learning the whole fpv drone racing so I figured started slow and work my way up

FpvDemon518 · Mar 24, 2018

I also heard not to run your batteries below 80% so that would be 3.3 per cell so 3.5 is about 85% still in the save zone I think lol

broncosdad1317 · Mar 24, 2018

Thanks guys. This all helps a lot. I'll be settin mine at 3.4 so they settle at a good storage voltage. Thanks again so much guys

also arris batteries are what I ran and I soon found out their crap and their lifespan isn't long. I'll be redirecting to rotor riot hypo 1300mah 4s 95c $36 with voltage checker built in and sill only 165 grams

M3talrocksFPV · Mar 24, 2018

Really with the arris battery? Haven't had it long enough to find out lol, 1800/75 is a pretty decent power, I don't know if I'd consider that "slow". It'll pump out a good amount for a quite awhile. But I too want to switch to rotor riot, and I want the new motors Mr Steele uses. At least we all think it's new motors, he won't tell us yet. Could just be new props but gee willackers Batman do they scream lol

Nah just personal experience that's all. My opinion from flying them. They did replace it for free but it was a hassle and took a while.

That's pretty cool of them though, usually retailers won't take back a battery once it's received a charge. (Danger issues as we've said over and over lol)
