Wow why didnt anyone ever tell me about this

Right here:
Airdata UAV - Flight Data Analysis for Drones
Very useful data for the average user. Not as comprehensive as the data pulled from the phantompilots log view but relevant nonetheless.

Going too look into that.. Thanks

Out of curiosity what does it say for the overall life on airdata? Hopefully we might be able to work it out and see if it's good or not. Hate to think one of them is giving the wrong info between the battery and airdata[emoji55]

Well, i guess im good for now.. Airdata says the battery is at 94%

This guy is amazing. It's a trick about the battery. Wait until he presses the red button down for 5 seconds on a battery. I never knew about this

OH NO... just one more reason not to fly over water. From now on, I'm only going to fly it within 6 feet of myself. You know, just to be safe.

OK, I'm kidding, but just the other day I was flying between a highway and a railroad track, and got about 1,200 feet away. I could barely see the 'copter so I brought it back. That's scary to me. I'm always nervous over water, so you know I'm going to check these batteries before I do THAT again.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Yep it's in the manual.

Well, as a technical writer by day, I know full well that very few read the manual in much detail. I'm guilty myself. Read enough to get it going, and then after that, mainly only read it if there's a problem or question. Sigh...

Just used this guys trick to check mine and it seems to correspond to what my flight logs are telling me. Learn something new everyday and kudos to the chap for putting that together.

When you stop learning, cash in your chips

I've got three batteries, the oldest being about 18 months old. I didn't check the program to see how many charges, but I did do the red-button test and, happily, I got "four bars" on all of them. Woo Hoo!!

Thinking sucks. I want a t-shirt that says that

Wow... You sure you didnt just turn on the batteries and it was fully charged? Lol how did you get all 4 lights? Share your secret on how you look after batteries [emoji4]

Yes, I did the long button-push. In fact, 2 of the 3 were only about half a charge when I did it. I don't do anything as far as looking after them, other than try to use them within a day or two of charging. I tend to store them uncharged. I figure they purposely discharge after the set number of days anyway, so I don't charge them up after I use them.. usually charge them immediately before. That's it.
