You can actually use it to determine the currently available (storable) energy for almost all rechargeable batteries of remotely controlled models.
With appropriate cable adapters this is of course also usable with the batteries for our quadcopter by DJI, or whatever.
- It helps to verify the manufacturer's battery performance data.
- You can determine the current health status of your batteries.
- You can do battery stress tests without actually flying or driving.
- You can bring your batteries down to storage voltage faster.
- Based on the determined values, you can determine old and worn out batteries.
- And last but not least, you can determine theoretical flight times / travel times based on the known energy consumption of an RC model.
*The device eats up energy, it converts electrical energy into heat, up to 200 watts. If necessary, you can also preheat the interior of your car...[emoji12]

You will definitely have a good time with your wife and all the goodies.Now that’s a nice package of goodies, gummy bears did I make me laugh
All my goodies are under the tree waiting to be opened on the 25th, did you know it’s christmas day on the 25th, wife’s only just told me...... I’m home how & don’t go back to work until 2nd Jan, now the fun starts. Wife still at work, picking her up from the train station about 6.30pm uk time.
Food shopping this Sunday then we’re ready, Yay...... I found out I’ve got to order my B&W case on Christmas Dayso hopefully I’ll have that before the new year, fingers X
I know, I said so, but we can start one day earlier ... lol ...
But even after Christmas, before the turn of the year it can be nice.
If you do not dispose of your Christmas tree immediately, then you still have the opportunity to put your new B & W case (for a few moments) under it ...

This is cool for kids to be able to call NORAD and get real time Santa tracking. Not sure how they do it. Maybe with an Aeroscope (if DJI sold the sleigh). My concern is US Supreme Court ruled warrant is required to track a vehicle or a cell phone so unless Santa signed a consent form whole thing may be illegal.
Our treeeeeeee is artificial so it could stay up all year round
oh now that’s a good idea... keep it up and get pressies all year
Like I said in an earlier post I’ve got to order it on Christmas Day sooooooooo hopefully it will be with me before the new year. Hope the cheaper price holds out on it.
I track him everyday on my mac, he ain’t moved yet..... what do you mean “this is cool for kids to be able to call NORAD and get a real time Santa tracking” what about an adult version
My tipical “day closer” post, almost there now, Yayyyyyyyyyyyy

Weather is still looking good for Christmas from my neck of the woods
Okay. Thanks for update. I was wondering about the weather. Keep us posted.
Say, Porky, one thing I wanted to ask, how do we handle the 8 hour time difference? (I'm on west coast so 3 hours behind NY and 8 behind you). I would normally get up about 8ish (4pm your time) if that works for you for opening presents. Thanks!

I know what you mean. It just bothers me that we outsourced sleigh tracking to DJI. Its convenient, its cool, and I know, if Santa is not breaking the law then he has nothing to worry about. I have heard that here a million times. Still I say its a legit right to privacy and 4th amendment search and seizure issue but I will not say anything further about it because I dont want to be everyone's buzz kill.

We also tried it once with an artificial Christmas tree. But the fir perfume is not cheap or sold out ... ... Now we have a little tree, which we soon have to plant somewhere ...Our treeeeeeee is artificial so it could stay up all year round

Anyone ever flown a drone in Yellowstone? Nice to see animals in natural habitat.
Right.. so you’re 8 hours behind, well, I would have opened mine by then & when you’re opening yours I’ll hopefully be out flying.
I normally get up 4.00am uk time so that’s 9.00pm your time. Soooooo think of me at that time & I’ll do the same at UK time 4.00PM.
I can’t wait 8 hours for you to get up, toooooo bloody long.....
