So, while waiting for my camera upgrades and tablet delivery, I decided to confirm what I had seen
shooting in the last couple of weeks. I flew my H in circles to test how many minutes of flight time
I was getting out of each battery. Four batteries, last from 10 to 13 minutes each, and one for less
than 6 minutes... All batteries were flown to a level of 14.9V on the ST16.
No puffiness that I can discern... Should I just earmark that one battery, say for photo use
(which should usually be a shorter flight to get the shots you need). Or will flight times continue
to get shorter, and I should just recycle it now? I do know there have been times that I have
fully charged all batteries, but not gotten to fly for several days. I know that is not recommended.
I could use some bungee cords and a cinder block, to lasso my H at a height of 4 feet in my
apartment to discharge the batteries...
