Aftermarket Batteries...

[Gizmo3000]

Is there a good link to crash course on LiPo batteries? I just got the phantom and I'm new in helicopters too and I seem to be learning things about these batteries after the fact....ie don't drain them below 20%, wait 5 minutes after use before recharge and now I see don't charge them for the next day. Apparently, I have alot more to learn.

there certainly is a lot to learn about 'em! (and a lot of areas where even the pro's can't agree).
fortunately I've read that once the Phantom starts blinking red and hit's the failsafe, it's actually at about 20%..

But here's the link of all links (I post it almost daily when someone asks, bookmark it)

Hah! Amazing! That site is where all this craziness started for me. I guess I need to go back there and read the boring stuff :lol: Thanks for the link.
