This guy is amazing. It's a trick about the battery. Wait until he presses the red button down for 5 seconds on a battery. I never knew about this
Yesisn't that in all manuals?
Do you have any detail of the life formula? I would appreciate if you could share, i haven’t managed to find anything. It’s for curiosity value more than anything, cell balance and last recorded capability are seemingly the most reliable indicators of pack health.I like his videos too, but isn't that in all manuals? You guys serious you never saw it before? And it is not rocket science: it is a simple math formula with nothing to do with batt life. Unless you believe it is only good for 200 charges?
That was close... I still use the numbers in my flight data but my test was with fully charged batteries and they were pretty close to each other interpreting the lights flashing up. May have to dust off the manual that went into a cupboard somewhere 12 months ago..I pressed my battery button (ooo... err... Mr's [emoji14]) and one battery light was dead and the other started blinking so I am guessing i have 50 odd battery life left, yet the app says I have around 86% or does that sequence mean just that?
Lol now it's confusing. Do we trust the blinking lights or the percentage read outs?That was close...

Thinking the same. I have 86% left on my battery and it still does everything like it's new. Maybe he got a dud battery. Personally I will stick to the overall life of the battery. When it gets to 55% then I will call it quits and keeps it for updates. Or unless the cells are bad.In the video he warns about flying with less than 90% life left, seems counter intuitive and maybe his flight that he almost lost it was unrelated to the less than 90% life?
I've seen a lot of micbergsma videos, he is great and explaining things and does a great service for viewers

I think the bigger question is at what point do you need to worry using that formula?
