I can't believe you "mods" deleted my post. I put *** in the swear words...what the hell is the matter with you??

This is just a teaser, if you will. Since @Bartman put me up to this, I have been working with a very sharp E.E. to design a protection circuit with minimal forward V. drop should a cell fail in a two-battery, parallel configuration. More to come!

@Motopreserve AFAICT a "droney" is when the drone starts filming you dead center and head on, and then slowly backs away for that "dramatic, fade to black" so to speak.

You seen it here first, folks. The birth of a brand new acronym: SWAG I LOVE this place!

"Because it's like, black and sexy." LOL at the usual lamer press!

I gave that up in the 80's (ie, tearing up hotel rooms after Silicon Valley Charity Ball's). ;)

Well @dazzab let me make one more point and then I'll drop it. I don't see myself (or anyone else for that matter) able to plug in say, four smart batteries into my iCharger and doing them all in parallel. Heck, I've go the 406 Duo so I could hook up four (or six) or whatever EACH to my TWO...

Mt reply to @econfly and @dazzab is this: What about the huge group of builders and hobbyists out there that would like to both build their own AND own somthing like the Solo? With all due respect you guys are being pretty casual about the fact that these so-called "smart batteries" render your...

After doing some reading, it would appear a standard diode may not be the route to go because of the "forward voltage drop." Further investigation reveals that even a Schottky diode, although better than a standard diode, may subject the power system to an unacceptable voltage drop. However...

Bart, back in the 80's I did time in Silicon Valley as an Engineering Liaison between my company's engineering group and it's clients nationwide. We built silicon microstructures (accelerometers, pressure sensors, etc.) and I believe were the first to take micromachined devices (accelerometers)...

OMG....:mad:

That's a damn good idea. I assume you mean a zener diode? But how to physically wire in such a (micro) beast?

Thanks to both @Bartman and @Pumpkinguy for your replies. Bart, in all honesty it never occurred to me that one battery failure in a two-battery, parallel arrangement could take out the good battery as well thus crashing the vehicle. My whole point to building my F550 this way was supposed...

Hey @Bartman and everyone else. Yeah, just saw both the 3DR videos (one nothing but magic fudge meant for the younger, gullible types, and the more "technical" one posted by Bart). Wow! Can't seem to find real detailed information on the 3DR site in fact, it seems to be very slow and almost...

What u are saying then, is that my parallel adapter has to be at least 10 AWG?

Is "poo" code for something? Or are you just saying that it's some serious s**t? LOL!;)

It's Monday, 12.00h Western Europe time. 3DR website still showing "404 page unavailable." They're really going to make me wait for this, aren't they??:mad:

The wire gauge coming from the Nano-tech's is 10 AWG.

Hello folks. While picking up the usual odds and ends from HK a few weeks ago, I decided to buy their parallel adapter with XT60 connectors for the F550 build I'm working on. This build will utilize the DJI E310 system and I plan on using two 4000 mAh batteries in parallel. Anyway, to my...

That was quite an interesting read. Thank you.
