Phatzo · Feb 4, 2016

i have two 4500 and now seven 5700 mah batteries. i constructed my own case and fit all in at all times because i often have all day flights.

I have 5 TB47 and 1 TB 48. For me the extra 2 -3 mins is not worth the extra money. And the added weight,restrictions on planes etc etc.

i do not fly on mannes akrcrafts and if so two per person is allowed generally. since i would go with crew that would go but neverthless i would also consult with the airline to make sure all goes up and well for all of us. no need to endanger anyone or thing.

the bit of extra time is sometimes needed for my work as i do fly far away sometimes and even then the plus 2-3 min are not enough at times

One TB47 that came with it and seven TB48's for a total of eight. I also have the SPC4500 4 battery charger. So, all-in-all I've spent about $1800 on additional power for my I1 Pro. When you add up all the "extras" the cost of the bird itself is hardly more than half the total cost.

2 - TB47 and 4 - TB48
Had another 47 but it bricked itself...

Steven Powter · Feb 4, 2016

10 TB47..... 6 of them have around 145 charges.... the other 4 around 90 charges... the batts with 145 charges have lost approx 25% of their mAH which now gives around 10 min FT landing at 20%..

did you try re-booting the battery ?

It drained itself dead... committed suicide...

All cells were found drained on autopsy...

This happened last summer... well before the "reboot" process was known...
After a reflash it was turned off and set a couple days...
Would not take a charge...or even turn on...after that...
I put it up and it set till the 10 day (as left set) timed out...
The battery then drained itself (top got warm as typical)...
Could not stop it...

Later tore it apart to understand it's makeup and design...
