When your hobby is your passion, you can talk about it all day. All the learning was never 'work' and was absorbed considerably easier than algebra I'm sure. Get me on topics like FPV, Electronics or guitar and you'll be looking for the door lol.

You have been contributing to the community for so long now !! Thank you for your hard work and thank you for passing on all that knowledge. Cheers Steele

One of the most comprehensive videos on LiPo batteries as it relates to RC Aircrafts that I have ever seen. Thank you!

It’s really awesome of you to make this video series. I’m a relatively experienced pilot and builder, having been into FPV for almost 4 years now. Like yourself. But I still enjoy watching the videos, and it’s really cool to see that you are willing to share all of your knowledge. You are helping to bring new pilots into our hobby, and that is priceless. The more the merrier.

Just finished my first build yesterday and wanted to charge my first lipo at the weekend. Perfect timing for this video 🙌

Your depth of knoweledge is very apparent in your videos. Thank you for sharing your advice with us. There's something about your demeanor that tells me you would rather be flying and this makes you more convincing.

The best video on Lipos on KZread so far. That was very helpful. Thank you very much 👏👏

Being totally new to fpv I was super happy to find this video! It really helped me to learn the basics especially battery storage and I even ordered a lipo bag for added safety. Thanks for the great video!

I'm just moving from off the shelf "toy" quads to starting my own build(s). These videos are super-helpful. Thank you.

got into fpv about 30 days ago. watched 100s of videos and learned a lot. Somehow you havent popped into my feed yet I have heard your name a dozen times. This was my first video and feel like I messed up by not watching your video's sooner. Great video !! Ill definitely will be watching more.

Superb video, really informative and well put together. You’re knocking it out the park with this ethix stuff my dude! I have to say loving the S3’s man, there so responsive and have proven to be really durable. I didn’t expect any prop to drag me away from my long standing cyclone addiction!

Congratulations!!! Sorry I'm a little late but I just realized you passed 200,000 subs. Probably the only drone guy I follow with that many subs.

Holy hell! It's Steele from the future! I'm watching this in January 2019, but for him in the video it's already Febuary 2019! Boom. Mind blown.

Awesome series, FPV needs this content so much. Cheers!

The episode i was expecting the most! thanks dude!

I was hoping so much for this video!!!! Thank you!

Excellent info. Only 2 people i trust for battery info & thats you & joshua bardwell. Not even manufacturer. Thumbs up, dromie! I feel good ive gotten 2 years out of most of my batteries

Thanks again for all the help in getting this info out there

I'm still happy on 4S lipos, and you are the first pilot to confirm my handling with them, not over-discharging and taking care of the babes made them live long and healthy! 😂😅 No, I don't give them names!

Hahaha. Naming packs would be funny though

As a beginner these videos are very helpful thank you for taking the time in doing them.

For new flier that wants to "future proof" (and have the "hot setup like Steele") of 6S, they can build/buy a 6S and limit the throttle to 70%. The bonus (besides being able to "turn it up" when ready) is about 25-30% more flight time. That's a very nice thing all by itself, and you will get longer battery life because you are babying them flying like that. Good video!

@@jewishjitsu The Xing 2208 1700kv on the Mamba Stack is my go to setup turning 6" (or larger) props on a Iflight long arm frame with DJI video (it's worth the weight and money IMO). If you're new to the game, or just enjoy proximity and flying thru the air like me, consider the 6" setup. With good batteries (RDQ 6S1250) you'll get super smooth flight and long flights as well as a rugged package that you can fly more than fix. On 4S you'll lose quite a lot of flight time, but it'll still fly fine although not so "punchy" on the hit. 6" on 6S is my favorite and it'll still do the flippity flip thing, but a tad slower (and easier to master), but is much more enjoyable if you just enjoy flying and aren't making videos for the youtube gang. If you're looking for 5" extra light, extra full speed stuff - The Xing 2207 1800 (you can get them in 1700kv or 1800kv) would probably be better for a strictly 5" setup like yours. A Mamba stack on Betaflight defaults ought to fly great if you limit the throttle to 50 to 75%. Make sure you don't just chop the top off, you need to reset the span so you get full range throttle control. Looks at Oscars rundown on setups like this (oscarliang.com/best-motors-props/). The 2207 is a great motor, I'm using them on 6" machines on 6S, and they work hard, but pull plenty hard, and still live. For strictly 6" I run the wider 2208. Smooth thru the middle with a top on that comes on plenty hard, but not so abrupt it's just a moonshot. You can play with betaflight and smooth things out a bit if you want to go more cinematic. I'd bet if you use the 2207 1800kv in your setup with throttle set to top out from 50 to 75% (depending on how new you are and how smooth you'd like it) You'll find it flies great on defaults. Hope that helps. Try the 6" 2208 setup if you have the budget, you won't be sorry. It's a bit bigger and still rips, but slows down nicely, which is fun, especially if you have High def video. If you need to know more hit me back again. Happy flying!

Wish i had seen this video when i bought my first set of lipos. Thank you, very instructive and well explained! 🚀🙌

This is great! You summed up everything I needed to know in one video. -1 topic. Charging amperage for 4s, 6s, 1300mah, 1500 mah, 70C vs 100C batteries. Never mind. You did! Watching that 1 next.

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to the 4S/6S video.

Thank you for making this video. Super helpful!

Legit info from a professional pilot! What more could anyone ask for?

Great video Steele

Concise and to the point. Thanks as usual!

Hellzz yeahh I feel good everything you talked about I've been doing for the past 3 year's and yes my batteries last a very long time Thanx for the video.

Very practical and easy to understand. Thanks!

Great advice to put the date on the batteries. Thanks!

Dope dude . Learned a lot watching all these videos 🦅

S means cells in a series configuration (most common) - used to increase overall pack voltage. P means cells in a parallel configuration (less common) - used to increase overall pack capacity.

@quantumguy9659

Series is used to control voltage delivery. It's easier to lower voltage than to rise it. Parallel is for delivering large currents.

best video about lipo´s, thank you! :)

Super super util video, thank you so much.

Great video man very good information. A lot of people don’t care of their packs. I learned a lot about what it means to care for lipo packs when I started buying 12s 5000mah for my helicopters 300 bucks a battery hurts when they go bad early because you didn’t take care of em.

Thank you for all that you do for us 🤘🤘

Great vid Steele! I'm a destroyer of 1S batts in brushless whoops. Charging the 1S batteries at high currents just as to not run out of charged batteries for the next race. Batteries are almost hot after a race in my son's Blade BL. My HVs, 4.35V, last less time than another BL running 4.2V 1S batts. Keeping up with charged batts per race, with three chargers, my Bets 75 Pro and my son's BL, making it through a two minute race, just seems to be a recipe for battery death. My 4S Ghost though gets great battery life. I think for the reasons you mention. More voltage overhead. Luckily 1S whoop batteries are cheaper, yet I purchase quite a few at a time. Aw, the early days of Inductrix flying! Little kwads, cheap easy batteries, long fun flight times..... Peace...Guy

Comparable power setups for 6s vs 4s please. Looking forward to that video

You've nailed it man... I fully agree landing at nominal voltage (14.8V) although it's quite hard to comprehend for a beginner. Well, at least it was for me :D I tend to keep flying until it show 14.3-14.4 on the OSD while slow cruising that's roughly 14.8 after landing. Your video is super helpful, I've learned it the hard way though :(

Nice job, thanks for the advice! ✌️

Outstanding Steele 👍 thanks brother

Great video!! I learned something

Great info and solid presentation.

This was perfect to share on my Facebook group today.

Hey, I've been doing it right since I started fpv😁. I heard only go to 80% of mAh when I bought my first batteries, forget who/where. I also charge to storage voltage after using them, don't know if I should or not. Maybe Mr. Steele covers this in the video. Thank Steele for the info, I will now finish watching.😎

Great video bruh!

Perfect vid so much info boom bam quick easy simple💥

Perfectly explained thanks

Fresh packs means more trix`s... and good recoveries.. am glad your teaching fellow hobby est... cheers steel dog🐾

I have something to say about the Rotor Riot Practice Battery. It great! It's the first battery I bought for my hawk 5 and it's still like new in the way it performs. Sure it's a heavy 1500mah tank, but the cells are especially good. No joke. I'm not affiliated with RR in any monetary way. It's that good. I've ran it down to 11v multiple times. No puffing or loss of capacity. Slight volt sag is all I saw. Battery stays cool no matter what and it's the only battery that I never had to repair the balance leads on.

Thanks for this insight on battery use!

Good valuable info here...awesome video cuz...thanks

Great topic, dude! 😊

Steele you are my hero.

Great video!

very informative for a beginner like myself. as are most of your FPV videos

Thanks... you've confirmed I'm doing the right thing. I stop at 3.5 in flight which is 3.7 resting. Not because I can't get more but because the thing flys terrible.

nice, nice video...all in one take congrats!

Awesome paramotor back there, Im trying to get into that in a few years

Great Video for a rookie like myself . Thanks bro !!!!

Great vid thanks. Wondering if you could follow up with how to safely dispose of used/damaged lipos? Cheers

Thanks for the easy lesson lipo. I fried all the original packs I got in a couple weeks. It's all clear now

Very useful info! thank you

Very well explained thanks :D

Love the random LiPo rubber duck..... hahaha Cheers :)

thank you very much for the educational videos

Great video 👊🏼🛸

I second that... Fly until cruise or hovering touches a steady voltage of 14.0 - 14.2v, once unplugged the battery will rest at 14.8 - 15.0v. My batteries have a longevity and never puff even though I fly em' hard. Happy flying to all.... 😎

Good information my dude

Good info Mr Steele!

The best video on LiPo care I have seen. Cheers.

Super clear!

Tnx for all this information. Could you tell more about the lipo pack for your transmitter? Why not use the default pack of your transmitter? Did you modify your transmitter for the lipo?

@MrSteeleFPV

No mods needed. It’s a 3S 2200mAh pack from lumenier. Lipo just lasts a hell of a lot longer. Doesn’t come with a Lipo because they are highly regulated when it comes to shipping.

When to read this voltage numbers ? 1in flight ? 2 if landed and motors are spinning air mode ? 3 when dissarmed ? I believe 3, so inflight u can go a bit lower in volt

Nice insulated garage door!!!

Ive had near new lipos stored for nearly 4 years in storage mode and they have been fine except for one 3s pack that was slightly puffed.

Can you PLEASE do a follow-up discussing the amps at which you charge/discharge based on mah of batteries? And using a parallel board with do's and don'ts. THANK YOU.
