Update on my battery mishap
Firstly thanks to UAV Mods, who have supplied a new connection clip and battery connection cable free of charge! They have been very helpful. I did buy another 2 new external batteries
Tried it all yesterday afternoon. Installed the TB48 with the connection clip, mounted the 2 external 6s 1300mha (215g each) batteries on the mounting plate under the i1 Pro connected the external batteries to the connection wire, turned on the TB48, waited for the i1 to fire up, then, I have to say, with a bit of trepidation.....I connected the the connection cable to the battery clip..........it worked fine!
Did a simple hover test with the external batteries connected, got just over 15 min with the battery at 9% on landing. It was about 1 deg c external temp. A little disappointed with this, need to do a more serious test comparing an modified TB48 hover
Did get 2 motor overheat warning about 10 and 12 mins, but I need to look into that? Maybe just because it was not flying around, just hovering.
Lesson learnt, luckily with no major damage caused. Except for the original external batteries, which now appear be damaged, as I get a connection break error when trying to charge them. Not sure this mod gives any redundancy, just extra flight time. Redundancy is what I am after, if any one know of a mod that does that, let me know.
I will post some pictures of the modified i1 shortly.
Thanks again for the other helpful comments above.
