Lipo Battery Care
Lipo batteries are ideal for racing drones due to their relatively light weight and high
discharge rates. However they require care and monitoring to ensure they last.
Below are some important things to consider when looking after your lipos.
1. Always use the balance charge setting when charging.
2. Never charge a Lipo unattended, fire risk is a very real danger, especially with
damaged or old batteries.
3. Monitor your batteries voltage or capacity while flying by using cell voltage
checkers or On Screen Displays
4. Store Lipos in a safe environment, remembering they can be a fire hazard.
5. Standard Lipos are made up of a number of different cells with a max charge
of 4.2v per cell. Never discharge any of the batteries individual cells to below
3.4v or consume over 80% of the batteries capacity. Over discharging can
damage the battery.
6. (Hydra Elite only with OSD) Use the Capacity consumed indicator in your OSD
to monitor the capacity drain. Never drain more than 80% of your batteries
capacity.
7. To extend the longevity of your batteries, charge at 1C. 1C means it will take
an hour to charge the battery. The Hydra range of batteries can safely be
charged at up to 5C, however you may decrease the life span of the battery at
this rate. Charge at this rate at your own risk.
To calculate how many amps are required, divide the mAh value by 1000 and
multiply by your C rate. The result will be the required Amps to charge. To charge at
faster C rates, multiply your base rate by any number up to the max 5C charge rate.
For example let’s charge a 1500mah hour at 3C, the formula is below.
(1500 ÷ 1000) = 1.5A
1.5A x 3C = 4.5A
