Hi I've just come across your excellent video. I couldn't understand how you managed to fit a LIPO 11.1V 2.2AH in the battery compartment. I previously fitted a Turnigy battery in my advanced transmitter but it protrudes preventing the cover from closing. There clearly is a difference in battery dimensions between various manufacturers.
I have tried this mod on my Hubsan h501s using 11.1v. I'm now back to stock, but now using 4x AA "Energizer Ultimate Lithium" batteries. I kid you not! I got 400m extra range (from the same spot). I have used the same battery set over 15 flights now, each flight ranging from 13min to 23 min. It's still on full bars. Just try them. Their around £5 for a pack of 4.
I use the same battery that goes in the drone for my transmitter, all i did was change the connector to jst connector fits at an angle, with a slight gap in the back door, works perfect 10c 7.4v 2700 mah can't go wrong
Hello - Did this battery come with the proper connector on it? Or did you have to modify the battery? Also, is there any other electronic part I would need to install? Thank you so much.
Hello again. I have another dumb question. Where does that charger get its power from? Does it plug into a wall outlet? I didn't see any plug on it. Thanks again!
I don't understand you question, if you are asking about this battery charging then you will need to remove it for charging.I'm using imax b6 charger to balance charge it.
Thanks Alvydas, just got mine today. drone that is 501 advanced with the better controller, this new battery will be great, how many flights are you getting between charges ? thanks for the info.
Hello, i haven't tried full charge and full dischrarge because of rear flights (1 per month), so i'm charged my battery in strorage mode (half charged)
Hi I tried to buy this battery from gearbest for my hubsan transmitter but they don,t deliver to Australia is there any other batterys that will fit or suppliers of this battery that deliver to Australia.
Hi, didn't count, AA about 10+- battery will be 20+.I'm running battery half charged (storage mode) and recharging after about 4-5 flight, because sometimes it can take 2-3 weeks between flight.
Hello ... excellent video ... thanks ... I want to ask you if I can use a battery of 11.1 V. 3s 20c 20 Wh Lithium Polymer in the control of the H501S PRO?
When that 11.1v is fully charged, it is a good 12volts. Hope it does not heat up your controller system board and cause problems. I have the smaller controller for my 501s, and am using a 6.6v Lifepo battery which works for 8 flights.
I'm using it in storage mode, each cell for 3.6 volts and already had about 5 flights with still 10+ volts, as i know transmitter power off voltage is 5 volts :)
Unsure if someone already asked but can I use my balanced charger that came with my 501s to charge drone battery for the advanced controller?The drone battery is 2700 mah versus a 2200 mah. Wandering because I'm about to check my local battery supply store to see if they have a lipo for my controller. I've been using AA's & even though I've had good flights, I'm thinking I could get better lasting charge.
Actually, you can use the charger that came with the drone. The power supply is 12v at 1A which is plenty to charge the new battery. I'm already doing it so I know it works.
Thanks 4 tip.I never made the move im still using the AA.Shelling out money for plenty other hubsan parts though.And now I need new batteries for the quad.I'll eventually get a tx Lipo.I was put off though because I thought I needed another charger.
I just received this Hubsan H501S yesterday with the advanced controller. I also own the Hubsan H301S powered glider with the same remote and use the Turnigy 9XR 1.5c 11.1v 2200 battery to run both transmitters. One at a time of course. Today, I'm looking at the Hubsan manual and it states: "transmitter can only use 2s Lipo batteries?? Others can damage transmitter.. Well according to my math, I replaced 8 1.5v alkaline batteries "12volts" with this lipo. I assume this manual must be making reference to the standard controller. I've not had any issues yet.
Yes you are right that manual reference to the standard controller, because 3S lipo has 11.1v (12.6v fully charged) so don't be afraid and use that battery
MrPolymers I have read the manual restricting transmitter battery to a 2S. Now, this Could be a misprint..? You are so right, the math just makes sense. On the standard transmitter circut board it does say 4-14v but it does have a larger screen than the pro. I'm putting the 11.1V 8C 2200 mAh back in. Thank you so much....you are the only one that addressed that issue. Cheers!
how low do you get down the battery before replacing/charging? i am looking into getting this drone and learning most of the stuff i can before making the purchase, theres so many variants of batteries for the transmitter i've seen ranging from 850mah to this 2200mah, could you also provide me with a reasonable safe discharge volt or like a safe number for different batteries? thanks in advance
I am looking to change mine to this batt too. Using AA batts x 8 = 12V. The lipo fully charge should be 12.5V or 12.6. I am just wondering can the transmitter take 12.6V?
Hello, i think it is possible, but is not practical.Because you need JST connector for transmitter and voltage of hubsan battery is a litle bit too low, that means you can use it for 1-3 flights (i think).But this battery on video has JST connector and you can use it for 15+ flights without worry :)
Hi..I have this advance model coming also and I know you cannot charge the battery with the hubsan charger..which charger would be good to charge this 11.1 battery with..thanks and nice video. :)
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iMAX-B6-Charger-Brand-New-Battery-balance-Charger-for-RC-Battery-A7K6-UK-STOCK-/172489062829?hash=item28292639ad:g:FQ4AAOSw2xRYfOu6 This one, does this work with the Lipos that came with the Hunsan also incase original gets broke?
The adapter is "E-Flite EC2 Battery to JST Female 15mm 20Awg", available from HobbyLobby on Amazon. I get about 20 flights between charging with this mod.
I did not, but I haven't performed any range tests and I've done the antenna mod. The TX PCB specifies an input voltage range that includes 7.4V. I've flown it beyond my sight, but a number of factors influence that outcome.
I should point out that the 7.4V battery fits nicely into the FPV1 transmitter (as shown in the video), but not into the original model's transmitter as the battery compartment is too small. It can be made to fit there as well, but not without minor surgery.
мой хабсан ещё в пути, но в характеристике пишет что в пульт нужно 4*АА 1,5 это 7,4 выходит. Я нашел батарею с похожим коннектором от хабсана H502S(www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopter-parts/pp_428944.html), но смущает мощность в 610mAh. Не подскажите чайнику, долго ли проработает пульт на таком аккумуляторе
Nu, jesli govorim pro PRO versiju to v pulte ne 4 a 8 batarei AA i voltaz 7,4V predelno malovat, konecno on vykliucitsa pri ~5, ili 5,5V no emu mozno bez problem davat 3S a eto 12+ volt, batareja ot Xabsana 502S malovata, togda luce AA akumy i ix zariazat
Unfortunately gearbest is out of stock but I found this similar option that should also work well: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00USRD91W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Great video and comment support.Thanks Alvydas.I want to use the battery you suggest in this transmitter here:www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_424346.html?wid=3 any opinion or advise from an expert? Hubsan H501s x4 and Hubsan H501s Pro are the same for some reason?
Well i'm not an expert, but thanks :)And yes, the quad in this link is same as mine and this is a perfect choise for you :) Differences between x4 and x4 PRO is only advanced transmitter (better quality, antennas+range, beeps and batteries)
Nice video.Thanks for the help.which cable do you use for charging?The black one?
Hi I've just come across your excellent video. I couldn't understand how you managed to fit a LIPO 11.1V 2.2AH in the battery compartment.
I previously fitted a Turnigy battery in my advanced transmitter but it protrudes preventing the cover from closing. There clearly is a difference in battery dimensions between various manufacturers.
Thank you for clarifing acceptable battery types for the Pro transmitter. I found a no name Chinese 11.1V 8C 2200nAh. Blue casing.
I have tried this mod on my Hubsan h501s using 11.1v. I'm now back to stock, but now using 4x AA "Energizer Ultimate Lithium" batteries. I kid you not! I got 400m extra range (from the same spot). I have used the same battery set over 15 flights now, each flight ranging from 13min to 23 min. It's still on full bars. Just try them. Their around £5 for a pack of 4.
can I put a 30c battery on the remote control?
Can I put 2 PCs Li-on batteries in serial connection?
it doesn't fit inside but I have a lanyard to drop from controller to belt. I do have the standard fit 3s 11.1v 2200mah battery on order. Thanks!
what ttpe of ec2 connector would you recommend to use the charger you listed with the h501s advanced quad battery
I'm using imax b6,, cable bought separately jack (to charger) >EC2 (you can find in gearbest or banggood.
I use the same battery that goes in the drone for my transmitter, all i did was change the connector to jst connector fits at an angle, with a slight gap in the back door, works perfect 10c 7.4v 2700 mah can't go wrong
Hello -
Did this battery come with the proper connector on it? Or did you have to modify the battery? Also, is there any other electronic part I would need to install?
Thank you so much.
Hi, this battery comes with JST connector and that is what you need, no other electronic part would need
I see a ton of guys running this same battery in the transmitter with no issues....so I bought one too. Hope all goes well.
I honestly don't know as I just got the drone yesterday. But it fits perfectly and charged fully. I say get one...at 9 bucks it's a great deal.
Main connectors. square, round, triangle?
Would a 2s 7.4v 1200 mAh battery work with this transmitter aswell?
Drone Footage AUS id buy a 2200mah 3s 11.1v lipo since that's what is meant to run on their $11 on eBay
Hello again.
I have another dumb question. Where does that charger get its power from? Does it plug into a wall outlet? I didn't see any plug on it.
Thanks again!
I don't understand you question, if you are asking about this battery charging then you will need to remove it for charging.I'm using imax b6 charger to balance charge it.

Hello, i haven't tried full charge and full dischrarge because of rear flights (1 per month), so i'm charged my battery in strorage mode (half charged)
ok
Thanks for sharing the video. I have an Upair transmitter battery 11.1V 1500 mah. Would that work?
RT drummer If it fits and plugs are jst.it will work
Hi,what make is the Lipo battery and does it come with the jst lead on it?
Thanks.......Jon.
Hello,you can find all information on the gearbest link bellow the video.This is no name battery from china and yes it has jst connector
Hi I tried to buy this battery from gearbest for my hubsan transmitter but they don,t deliver to Australia is there any other batterys that will fit or suppliers of this battery that deliver to Australia.
Hi, i dont know about other batteries, but you can find this battery also in banggood ebay amazon or other online shops.
It is possible to use a 7.4V 1400mha 1C in the pro controller ? thank you in advance
This transmitter needs more volts, but it may work even on 7.4 volts.
how many flights were you getting out of the AA batteries vs this battery?
Hi, didn't count, AA about 10+- battery will be 20+.I'm running battery half charged (storage mode) and recharging after about 4-5 flight, because sometimes it can take 2-3 weeks between flight.
11.1V 8C 2200mAh Lipo Battery is that all i need to know to order one in australia? thanks
Hello, just follow the link under the video.You will find the same battery on gearbest
Hello ... excellent video ... thanks ... I want to ask you if I can use a battery of 11.1 V. 3s 20c 20 Wh Lithium Polymer in the control of the H501S PRO?
Hello, yes of course you can use it, if it fits.
The Hubsan tech on the Hubsan forum warns about using a 3s lipo might burn out the motherboard. Have you heard of such failures?
When that 11.1v is fully charged, it is a good 12volts. Hope it does not heat up your controller system board and cause problems. I have the smaller controller for my 501s, and am using a 6.6v Lifepo battery which works for 8 flights.
I'm using it in storage mode, each cell for 3.6 volts and already had about 5 flights with still 10+ volts, as i know transmitter power off voltage is 5 volts :)
what's your average time of the 5 flights?
Tks
Full battery about 17-20 minutes.
did it come with drone or do I got to order a jst connector
you must order both separetly
Unsure if someone already asked but can I use my balanced charger that came with my 501s to charge drone battery for the advanced controller?The drone battery is 2700 mah versus a 2200 mah. Wandering because I'm about to check my local battery supply store to see if they have a lipo for my controller. I've been using AA's & even though I've had good flights, I'm thinking I could get better lasting charge.
Hello, no you can't use original Hubsan charger because it is for 2S batteries(7,4V).This battery is 3S(11,1V).
Ok thanks man
Actually, you can use the charger that came with the drone. The power supply is 12v at 1A which is plenty to charge the new battery. I'm already doing it so I know it works.
I even added a second jack to the balancer so I can charge two batteries at the same time. Works quite well.
Thanks 4 tip.I never made the move im still using the AA.Shelling out money for plenty other hubsan parts though.And now I need new batteries for the quad.I'll eventually get a tx Lipo.I was put off though because I thought I needed another charger.

Yes you are right that manual reference to the standard controller, because 3S lipo has 11.1v (12.6v fully charged) so don't be afraid and use that battery
Thanks, Common sense told me not to worry. It was the Hubsan manual that got me concerned;;;)

back in. Thank you so much....you are the only one that addressed that issue. Cheers!
I run both my Hubsan Advanced transmitters with a Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 11.1V 1.5C 9XR Radio Transmitter Lipo ..
Good Luck...
how low do you get down the battery before replacing/charging? i am looking into getting this drone and learning most of the stuff i can before making the purchase, theres so many variants of batteries for the transmitter i've seen ranging from 850mah to this 2200mah, could you also provide me with a reasonable safe discharge volt or like a safe number for different batteries? thanks in advance
I am looking to change mine to this batt too. Using AA batts x 8 = 12V. The lipo fully charge should be 12.5V or 12.6. I am just wondering can the transmitter take 12.6V?
Dont worry, i think it can handle up to 14 or 16 volts.
agreed
A new set of AA batteries will output 12.8 volts (1.6 volts per cell is typical for a new AA battery).
Hi Alvydas, can this WSX - S04 11.1V 8C 2200mAh Lipo Battery Fit in the Hubsan x4 502sTransmitter
Hello, i think NO, this is only for PRO (Advanced) versions
Ok thank you
I hate to sound dumb I'm really new at this . what do I need to order ... I really appreciate your help
there is hundreds of banlance chargers.i'v used imax b6 with sepatate plugs to jst cable
Hi, is it possible to use then the same battery (7.4 V 2700 mAh) for both drone and transmitter?
Hello, i think it is possible, but is not practical.Because you need JST connector for transmitter and voltage of hubsan battery is a litle bit too low, that means you can use it for 1-3 flights (i think).But this battery on video has JST connector and you can use it for 15+ flights without worry :)
Thanks for the quick response! which fpv headset would you recommend? thanks again.
fat shark of course :)
Hi..I have this advance model coming also and I know you cannot charge the battery with the hubsan charger..which charger would be good to charge this 11.1 battery with..thanks and nice video. :)
Hi, i'm using SkyRC imax b6 ~30eu from banggood
Hi..thanks very much for the info. :)
Nice job thanks
Just got this battery from Gearbest same as yours is it ok to charge with the charger that came with the H501S?
No! you cant charge this battery with original hubsan charger! Hubsan 2s this battery is 3s.
Do you have a link on what charger to use?
Just flown with this battery today and it seems ok 11.1v shown when inserted
i'v used imax b6
Thanks will check that out

This one, does this work with the Lipos that came with the Hunsan also incase original gets broke?
what kind of connector is the h501s transmiter battery supposed to have
Hi, transmitter has JST connector
Alvydas thanks alot
So the Standard Transmitter need 7.4 V and the Advanced one 11.1 V?
Yes
oops ived been using a Lipo Battery 2S 7.4V 1500mAh 25C for 4 flyght now should i change for a 11.1v
i have the advance too
Чем подзаряжать такой акум ? На сколько полетов его хватает?
у меня imax b6 balance charger, некогда незаряжал до конца, всегда "storage mode", хватает на 10+ полетов
Simple question...that video is 3s battery,and i want to use drone battery 2s 2700mah...is this can?
Yes you can, but original battery comes with EC2 connector, here in transmitter you need JST
i want to purchase it and also bateries but gerbest and bangood wont ship them to germany. what should i do?
Gearabest EU warehouse, also banggood EU , amazon, ebay or other online shops
cant find it but thank you very much for the quick response!
please tell me whether charging may from Hubsan H501S which comes complete, charge the battery?
Пишите на русском, не совсем вас понял :)
)) зарядка от Hubsan H501S, которая идет в комплекте, будет заряжать этот аккумулятор или нужно покупать отдельное зарядное?
Неподоидет. Оригинал на 2S а это 3S акум
Is a 3s 11.1v 6300mah 5c overkill?
Hi, i think no.If it fits, use it.
You can also use the same battery (7.4v) that powers the drone, with an adapter.
What kind of adapter please ?
The adapter is "E-Flite EC2 Battery to JST Female 15mm 20Awg", available from HobbyLobby on Amazon. I get about 20 flights between charging with this mod.
Bete Noire do you notice a decrease in range using 7 v instead of 12?
I did not, but I haven't performed any range tests and I've done the antenna mod. The TX PCB specifies an input voltage range that includes 7.4V. I've flown it beyond my sight, but a number of factors influence that outcome.
I should point out that the 7.4V battery fits nicely into the FPV1 transmitter (as shown in the video), but not into the original model's transmitter as the battery compartment is too small. It can be made to fit there as well, but not without minor surgery.
Hey brother can you send me the link for the balance charger you use? Please!
Hi, i'm using this one: www.banggood.com/SkyRC-IMAX-B6-Digital-RC-AC-Lipo-Li-polymer-Battery-Balance-Charger-p-912239.html?rmmds=search
Alvydas thank you!! 😀
how do I charge the battery
With balance charger and JST connector on it :)
How's the battery pack getting on? ; )
thanks for the heads up
it's good, not so much flights (storng winds), but iit's still in storage mode.
+Alvydas I have ordered 1 so thanks for the heads up ; )
+guidelineuk again lol
Hello you can charge with the charger hubsan h501s?
Hello,no, it's a 3S Lipo, need balance charger
OK thanks
Hi, Underdog The 126ers
мой хабсан ещё в пути, но в характеристике пишет что в пульт нужно 4*АА 1,5 это 7,4 выходит. Я нашел батарею с похожим коннектором от хабсана H502S(www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopter-parts/pp_428944.html), но смущает мощность в 610mAh. Не подскажите чайнику, долго ли проработает пульт на таком аккумуляторе

Your video has other video references covering up your screen at the end. Wtf.
thanks for let me know bro T.T
I have the battery already
to be more precise a H901a battery
Unfortunately gearbest is out of stock but I found this similar option that should also work well: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00USRD91W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Great video and comment support.Thanks Alvydas.I want to use the battery you suggest in this transmitter here:www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_424346.html?wid=3 any opinion or advise from an expert?
Hubsan H501s x4 and Hubsan H501s Pro are the same for some reason?
Well i'm not an expert, but thanks :)And yes, the quad in this link is same as mine and this is a perfect choise for you :) Differences between x4 and x4 PRO is only advanced transmitter (better quality, antennas+range, beeps and batteries)
Wowww...Fastest reply ever!Thanks a lot my friend.Your info is priceless!I'm going for the battery then!Kind regards.
