      He’ll have more subs soon... he’s just started... As soon as he gets more views his videos will be suggested by CZcams to more and more people. He will definitely improve his knowledge and will be among the greatest channels about FPV drones. I really like what motivates him: sharing what he is learning while he is learning.... this helps a lot of beginners that (some times) cannot follow what more experienced pilots are putting out there. Even though they have more knowledge and experience sometimes they forget all the difficulties and problems they had when they started. Matt is clearly sharing his experiences as he is facing and learning them... Can’t wait to see his progress (as a pilot and content creator) and the growth of his channel. Btw, the quality of the videos, the amount of effort he puts into them, and how natural he is speaking to the camera will definitely make his channel a great channel. I’ve been following since video one. I don’t even remember how I came across his first video, I am glad I did though.

Thank you so much. You've made an extremely confusing hobby for a total newb like me so much more understandable and given me much needed confidence. Can't wait to get flying!

      I can sympathize. I recently just jumped back in myself after about 5 years away, and the mountain of knowledge that I've forgotten is absolutely frightening. I knew I was in trouble when I picked up my radio for the first time in years, and a big question mark appeared over my head as I wondered what the hell all of these damn buttons and switches were for!

  • @EbonySeraphim
    @EbonySeraphim Před 2 lety +17

    Additional tips and corrections from an RC heli pilot (we demand more out of our LiPos than FPV):
    1. You don't need all batteries to be the same brand, or even the same capacity. Critically, they need to be the same cell count. Importantly, their voltages need to be close together. In fact, the reason you need them to be the same cell count is because different cell counts IS a different voltage on the pack. To describe what happens -- it isn't even an overcharge amount issue. The issue is the power delivered to each battery in the circuit, and for that matter -- as they exist in the circuit. The moment you wire up a lower voltage battery with higher voltage batteries, the laws of physics (E&M) will be pumping juice directly from the higher voltage batteries to the lower voltage ones and in an unrestrained manner. Basically, it's the bigger batteries that will start to overload the smaller one.
    2. When you parallel charge, you can charge over 1C just the same as you would individual batteries. A parallel charging board presents the charger with a single large battery. Take that total capacity, and you can charge at 2C (or higher if you do) of that.
    3. This was missing entirely from the discussion: but always balance charge your packs initially. I have a charger that can fast/slow/normal balance charge. I normal balance charge at the start of day, fast balance on the field. If you're going to discharge your pack promptly (within hours), you really don't need to balance charge it slowly with precision.
    Example: I always charge pairs of my 6s 5200mAh batteries at 20.8A. This is a 2C charge because in parallel it is logically a single 10400mAh battery, twice that is 20.8A. My 6s 6000mAh pairs are charged at 24A, etc.

    • @Fundalf_the_greyt
      @Fundalf_the_greyt Před rokem

      Hi, thanks for the comment, it's very informative. I'm curious, if you plug a 6s 1500MAh and a 6s 1300Mah, would you set the charge at 2.8A assuming 1C? Would it spread the 2.8 correctly 1.5/1.3 or 1.4A for each - charging the smaller one faster and somehow balancing between them once the voltage rises and tries to equalize? How does it work?

    I like the way you explain all your stuff with writting it on a whiteboard and illustrating it as you go. Often others just spew out a barrage of Volts, Amps, and Watt numbers which makes it hard to follow along in your head. Thanks for the vid! helped me a bunch B-)

    Great info Matt! I have the same charger and one of the functions I use quite often is the storage function. I tend to bring my lipos up or down to 3.8V with this before parallel charging. This is also really convenient when it's time to charge up all my packs I know they are ready to go.

    I looked all day on the internet while being subscribed to your channel before I got the right answer I was looking for that I found in no other videos about balance board charging and what to set the charger at as far as capacity...at 10:03 or somewhere around that time in the video you draw the diagram with 6 batteries and how they charge 1 ar a time at 1.5. So all day my question was do a multiply mah by the number of batteries. You have the best video on the internet about how to use a balance board and what to set charger at. Thanks very much. Liked, been subbed for a while amd hit the bell for all notifications. I have the dji fpv system and I started watching your videos about it months and months ago. Now I finally got my hands on the setup and love it. Got the built and tuned skyeliner HD with the dji air unit and the goggles and dji transmitter. I have flown about 20 packs with it and love it so much. I am definitely addicted to fpv now. I have been flying the mavic air 2 and the Autel Evo 2 camera drones before getting into fpv. Absolutely love it. Thanks again for the video
