Hey Bill, What’s the “122” number indicate on the inverter? Thanks for the heads up on the inverter, I’ve been looking at getting one but just couldn’t find one suitable for our battery at a reasonable price. Mike

All works great after a few flights. Although I have one group(nr5) drifting a lot so it does not let me make longer flights. Have to fix this with new cells. I also want to change to bigger wires as 8AWG is too wimpy even for 160A currents in chill mode. But dont see a way now as it is really cramp…

Alex, that looks great! I appreciate the update. I’m headed to the Florida Panhandle today and hopefully will get to test my batteries this week. I have a weak cell or two also I suspect. Replacing them is probably going to be difficult.:face_with_diagonal_mouth: You are correct…the ESC does ha…

Thanks for the heads up on the inverter, I won’t have to worry about the battery sitting at full charge anymore if the flying weather isn’t cooperating. Happy days! [IMG_20230622_152215382]

A quick report on the 1/2 hour battery that I retrofitted with Bluetooth and added a Daly “active” balancer. I took a 20 minute flight using it yesterday with my Spyder26. I landed with about 51%. This is the same battery that was so out of balance that it dumped me 4 times…once with a 10mph tail…

How is it possible to get 25min flight and still have 40% Are you babying the thottle? But I would say that 3,5V is closer to 30% of energy than 50%

I cruise between 47 and 53 amps at the beach. I’m not doing any calculations, just reporting the readings on the throttle. I do not fly by “percent left”, I watch the voltage. If you look on one of the screenshots, it reads about 86V remaining…it probably “recovered” from about 84 or 85 volts. E…

Also, the 25 minute flight was on the 7p24s battery…not the half hour 6p24s battery. Bill
