Keep doin’ what you’re doin’ asking questions in the right places while conducting some online study and you’ll get good at understanding batteries and power systems.
As much as multirotors are advertised as “plug and play, no experience required”, they are anything but that. They are extremely complex systems that demand users learn as much as they can about them to maximize their life span and what we can obtain from them.
When we obtain our first higher than toy grade multirotor we are presented with a lot of technical systems that are combined to effectively operate them. We encounter GPS, auto pilots, system software updating, electronics, radio control and the multiple subsets that make that work, antennas with orientation and radiation patterns, lithium batteries, cameras, stills photography, video photography, image post processing, flight safety, flight planning, aviation law, along with legal requirements and restrictions.
The complexity is so great colleges designed and initiated advanced education degrees devoted to unmanned aerial technology. We may start out as non technical people but getting good with our equipment and obtaining full enjoyment of what they can do pretty much demands we become tech savvy at some level. Thankfully, most everything we need to learn is available online. We only need to search for and spend some time with the information.
