I have an H pro and the two batteries that came with it. I would like to invest in at least two more batteries and a charger that will measure the IR in the cells and cycle the batteries when I'm not using them. Looking for suggestions for Batteries and a Charger to purchase. Thanks

I am using the Venom Pro Quad Charger. Had to purchase charging cables separately but I can charge (4) batteries at a time and haven't had any issues. I also storage charge my batteries after each day of flying which you can't do with the stock charger.
Current source for UltraX Typhoon H Batteries... one of the few left.

I use the Venom Pro Duo. As @McCFly stated, after a day of flying you can put your batteries into storage mode. This feature along would have been enough to entice me to purchase it. As a bonus, it also handles my 3S batteries for my Q500 4K. Once you figure out the way to change setting, it is a snap. This is my suggestion, either duo or quad.

I've been quite happy with my EV-Peak DY3 charger. Simple to use. Charge/discharge batteries, put them into storage condition, see each cell....

Bought two, and you get to see individual cell voltages too, a tester can confirm their accuracy and IR.
I'm pleased with the Venom Pro Duo I just bought. I'm even more pleased with Venom's customer service. The first one I bought had a bad LCD backlight. Everything else worked, but it was hard to see the screen. I sent them a message asking if it was just turned off somewhere, or defective.
They had me send them a short video showing the non-lighted screen, and after I did that they immediately sent a replacement out and told me to just toss the defective one. The replacement got here in less than 2 business days.
I don't see much of that kind of customer service anymore - it was a really nice surprise, and I'll definitely go back to them the next time I need something they make.
As to batteries, if I'm not mistaken if you crash due to a system fault while using a non-OEM battery, Yuneec will deny your warranty claim, so because of that I will only use original Yuneec batteries through the end of the warranty.

I will need to add a couple of fresh batteries for my H480 soon. I have been using the factory 5400mah (actually 6400mah) batteries since I got this H480 and they have been very good for flight time and long life.
Carolina Dronz is showing the GiFi 7000mah on their site for $79.
- anyone have experience with these?
- is the 7000mah capacity increasing flight time noticeably?
- are they marked as to production date and individual cell v? IR?
- long term reliability?
- what is the "C" (discharge capacity) rating?
Thanks in advance....

I heard that some manufacturers (possibly Yuneec?) labelled the H batteries as 5400 instead of 6400 to allow a different category for air cargo transport which at one time was below 80Wh (5.4amps x 14.8v = 79.9Wh) not sure what the current restrictions are - this could be just a rumour, but the capacity of these batteries has been tested by some at around 6400mah.....
Regardless, back to my post.... anyone have personal experience with these GiFi 4s 7000mah batteries?????
