LiPo are dangerous! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCWdnjLqVWw
C rating : the higher, the higher current you can draw http://www.rcheliwiki.com/C_rating
- C*Capacity in Ah=Current
- Current: 20C * 2.2Ah = 44A
- Power: 44A * 11.1V = 488.4W
S is the number of cells in series, and is representing the tension (1S=3.7V, 2S=7.4, 3S=11.1V, ...). P is in parallel. Usually LiPo are in series and P=1
Balancing: Cells need to be a the same charge level so we can avoid overcharging.
- It's a good idea to always use the balance mode to charge a multiple cells battery
- http://www.rcheliwiki.com/Balance_charger
- Use the charger to check and rebalance cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AChoy_PsVEg
- A good trick to test is to charge the cells individually using the balance cable, it's much faster than the balance mode that needs to discharge overcharged cells a lot

~~Having some problems with the vTX right now, apparently at full throttle. Electrical perturbations ?~~ Good, got some new antennas

cabling is hard
1st build
fpv tests
rebuilt everything, better antenna placement, battery cables, fix the feet, ...
Broken an arm trying to roll
Arm fixed using epoxy, flying well, we'll see if it handles vibrations and the next crash
V2 because HK frame broke again after ~10 landings, CF frame, looks nice (not tested yet)
