So being a heli flyer first and a noob with DJI, I've learned just about my fill with handling and caring for lipos. So the basics....
1. Don't fly past 3.7 (or experience LVC)
2. Charge to 3.85 when storage for long periods.
3. Never pull more than 80% from a lipo or you can permanently damage your pack.
4. Checking the IR can tell you if you have damaged a cell and the over all health of your pack.
5. Don't let a fully charged pack sit for more than 24 hours or puffing and degrading can occur.
But then with DJI, they say to cycle your lipo every 20 charges down to 8% and then fully charge (yes I know they no longer mention this in some manuals). But that would be almost at a critically low voltage, and goes against everything I've herd towards keeping a healthy lipo
Second, they let their smart lipos discharge back to 3.85 but after 10 days! Some say just letting a fully charged lipo sit for a couple of days can damage the capacity.
Third... They then pack a 2s 6000 mha lipo in the TX and don't offer anyway to remove or discharge it!
Is this just a ploy to get returned service on dead lipos....? Are these some special new kind of lipo material that needs this kind of abuse? Or am I missing something?
Please enlighten me..... Because this goes against everything lipo basics have taught me!
