FPV Tool Suggestion: Battery Charging Settings Help
FPV Tool Suggestion: One thing I had a lot of trouble with starting out was figuring out what charging settings and so on were correct for my 2S batteries (I am still a little uncertain about things). An interactive tool where you could enter your battery info (sizes cells types etc.) and get feed back on balance charge rates - storage charge rates and info about what the IR internal resistance should be expected and anything battery related. I think I would like to use this if it existed. I don't know if this already exists elsewhere or is this just a dumb noob idea?
Completely agree with Toms - this was genuinely a great nudge in the right direction. A well-designed battery helper could save newcomers (and honestly, plenty of experienced pilots too) from a lot of uncertainty.
We’ll make sure the tool covers the points you mentioned: recommended charge/storage rates, IR expectations by cell type, and safe ranges for aging packs. Additional things we’ve already thought about including:
* Nominal, storage, minimum, and maximum voltages per cell
* Safe discharge current estimates (C-rate calculation)
* Puffing indicators and when a pack should be retired
* How temperature affects charging and performance
* Charging safety tips (Lipo bags, fireproof surfaces, what not to do)
* Cycle tracking (rough life expectancy for different chemistries — LiPo, HV, LiIon)
* Balance lead & main lead health checks
* Signs of internal damage after a crash
* Charging warnings (e.g., never charge above X voltage per cell, avoid fast-charging if IR is high)
* Expected flight times for different quad sizes with that battery
* Storage tips (humidity, temperature, how long they can sit at 100% safely)
* How IR changes with temperature and age
* Safe disposal guidelines
Basically, something that takes away the “am I doing this right?” feeling we all had at the start - and sometimes still do.
