RC 2 battery

Does the RC 2 have a shorter run time than the RC 1. Not long after a full charge the last light starts blinking.

How long, crucially ? Otherwise we have no frame of reference for comparison !

 

[Rchawks]

Fair enough. I'll mark the time just to see, but I only had a short flight 10 min or so with the neo, and 20 min or so with the Air 3s.

@Rchawks looking at the specs from DJI it says run time for the RC1 is 4 hours max with fully charged batteries and the RC2 is 3 hours so yes it does have a shorter run time .

 

[Rchawks]

Thank you OMM. I'm good then.

My RC2 lasts me about five full Air 3/3S batteries, each with flight times of 30-35 minutes, before I feel the need to recharge it.

@Rchawks yes its mainly because the RC2 has more work to do with the 04 transmission system it uses and it probably means that the built in cooling fan is also running a lot in hot sunny conditions

Same on mine. I get 2 solid 1 hour flight sessions out of mine (6 packs on M4P) off a single RC2 charge. It'll b down to flashing second light by then.
