Turnigy Accucell-6 50W 6A Balancer/Charger LiHV Capable

I would! I have a SKYRC version like this! On at a time baby.

Ya, that's the one I really wanted but hell um about to get put out now..money goin out and none coming in. Wifee having a xxxx fit!

I like one from Keenstone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JV826I0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Has all the bells and whistles.

Tried the battery mod with 1x Multistar 3000mAh LIHV on top. Got 28 min hover time with 10% left. DJI Battery was very hot. Is it supposed to be this hot?

It is supposed to get hotter than when you'd be in normal flight, less cooling.. BUT 60.7c is too hot. I managed 56 deg with double 3000's on top during 30 min hover on a hot day. In normal flight you should observe it stays below 40-45 deg. Try that.
Edit: what type of mod you use?

I am using UaVmods clip. Will try next test moving around. Also got new low noise props and will do a test with those too sometime.

Did you solder yours to the pins?

Thanks for your input....

Anyone have any suggestions on which one(s) of these may stop my auto landing "critically low power" issue with the Lion battery I'm testing? It starts at anywhere between 19 to 21 min into the flight and between 3.5 and 3.48 volts so it really doesn't sound like its just one fixed voltage value causing it. I can hover for another 20min after it hits this mode by holding the left stick up. What happens to current when the battery voltage drops? does it increase? if it does could the current be hitting a limit that is being regulated down somehow by making it to go into this "critically low power" mode? could the cause be that the difference between the lower voltage and higher current is getting too great? It really does feel like it loses power suddenly...I really know nothing about this stuff I'm just here thinking bored and confused...Oh, and what wtf's up with the "weight" settings?

I think its the emergency voltage 3000 one. Id set that to 2200, i think its a volt per cell avg number, 3000 being 3.00v so 2200 would be 2.2v.

Do you have it set to Non-DJI battery selected?

Mine doesn’t autoland until 3%.

I think its the emergency voltage 3000 one. Id set that to 2200, i think its a volt per cell avg number, 3000 being 3.00v so 2200 would be 2.2v.

I tried that one but i only set it to 2500. I wouldn't understand if it is that setting because my issue happens between 3.5 to 3.48. But i definitely will try changing it to 2200. Thank you

Edit: Have you tried that setting with success?

 

[chazz]

Do you have it set to Non-DJI battery selected?

yes and set for led

Mine doesn’t autoland until 3%.

What voltage is it at 3%?

 

[chazz]

I should have mentioned what i tried. I'm using a dji battery board with my homemade Lion battery

I tried turning the battery board off
changed bat limit_limit vol min - 3300 to 2700 and emergency voltage - 3000 to 2500
and set to Non DJI battery.

 

[chazz]

I know it seems obvious to change a min limit one but I'm really thinking it could be something like (battery limit_limit max power max – 500) in combination with a min limit one. Maybe there are multiple settings needed to change? Or maybe just one? Maybe when it sees a high current draw (battery limit_limit max power max - 500) or (battery limit_limit power rate capacity max - 100) for a certain amount of time mixed with a big voltage drop between this (bat limit_limit vol min – 3300) and this (bat limit_limit vol max – 3700) it triggers and goes to this (battery config lower limit power - 100). Or that could even be the motor max speed reached or neither idk I'm just throwing crap out there I really have no idea but it seems so sporadic between different Mavs that i'm confused...or I’m way overthinking it and it could be one value like (battery limit _limit max power weight - 1.5 )…Any motor controls and plc experts out there?

 

[TheLightSpeed!]

yes and set for led



What voltage is it at 3%?

I took a video with my iPad I’ll post it up here today.

@chazz

Here’s a video of my Mavic waiting until 1% to land. It starts autolanding at 2% but didn’t actually try to land.

I finally bailed on it at 1% as I didn’t want it to fall out of the sky!
