Lithium rc helicopter batteries do not suffer from memory effect, in contrast with what is called "digital memory" caused by internal gauge charge of each cell (one maximum and a minimum level).

Most often,Top rc helicopter batteries recommendations Articles rc helicopter batteries suffer issues. To avoid excessive discharge LiPo, it is interesting that the electronics of the aircraft have an power outage safety, ie when low on battery power cut, but let us control over the control surfaces, to land, in addition, the electronics can afford a "reset" of power, lowering the minimum and raising it again to have a little strength to land better, in this type of aircraft, do not you dare to continue flying after the first reset, only lands.

When you finish flying, disconnect both battery terminals of the rc helicopter, so you avoid it from running down slowly, as though the heli is stationary, being connected to drive a small consumption, which over time discharge the battery. For the control of the batteries there are several control mechanisms. The first is a charge meter lipo:

-         It connects to the charging port LIPO, and tells us what stress is LIPO. It is useful to know if the LIPO is full, empty, half, how long we have approximate flight. For example, for the 3 cell LIPO of 11.1 volts, the manufacturer recommends that the load cell must be never lower than 3 volts, not to shorten life.

-         The second is a visual warning (LED green / red) and acoustic when the rc helicopter battery is running out. It is placed on the heli, and lets us know you are going before we cut the power.

It is advisable to place it under the belly of the plane, which is the part that will have before most of the time. However, if the LEDs are not at least hear the beep.

Lipo battery connection

There are three ways to connect a group of batteries together. Serial, parallel or mixed a series-parallel connection. Depending on how we do, we will increase the total voltage, capacity, or both.

This article is not intended as a manual of rc helicopter, it's just a practical exposure on the execution of batteries and maneuvers that help learning to "let go" with your model and you already know, to introduce a certain level of variety in their flights to make them more original and colorful. Keep in mind you can create new techniques. The type of placement on the track must be fixed and relaxed, with the sun on its back, it is not about doing a lot of jumbled figures, that is dangerous and inelegant, it comes to net figures independent, we insist, relaxed.
