i don't care about how risky this is with a full battery dumping all it's current into a discharged battery....this video brings back the good old fpv video vibes from 7-8 years back, i love it and miss it
The discharged battery will charge at 60C during these few seconds that the two are connected, it certainly won't do any good in the long term.
wouldnt it be possible to solve that problem using diodes?
Standard diodes would limit the current you could pull from the battery.
Hot-swap or redundant power is common in industrial applications so the keyword to look for is "ideal diodes".
These are basically mosfets with a controller chip that only turns on the mosfet when current would flow in one direction.
So it can carry the full load current but only conducts one-way.
Good point, however you're talking about a recharge that will happen for maybe a few seconds, which true over time will have an effect, but very little, a power loop or full throttle burst would probably do more damage.
@@DroneChamps The problem isn't so much discharging the full battery (although that reduces your flight time), but charging the empty battery way beyond its rated charge current.
Most pouch LiPos have a warning label saying "Never charge above 2C, 1C is recommended", regularly charging at 60C is asking to let the magic smoke out.
@@thetastefultoastie6077 it's not an empty battery, it's always good to leave a little voltage left on the battery to prevent stress on cells, understanding the capabilities and limitations of your equipment is how you can mitigate any issues.
Also not sure I know of an escape that can take 12s momentarily the gets would just pop immediately
Esc*
parallel circuit, it will still be the same voltage
@@virrebooi93 oh ok thanks
people before capacitors
Pretty sure your hotswap took 12 seconds or more
so your using a 6s board and only flying on 3s?
Prolly he use parallel connection for the battery connector….
Use analogue problem solved
Yes! Analog or HDZero.
I do have it on an analog build. All it does is skip the initial vtx power spike that might blow out another pilot.
