spektrum dx6i battery level question

[loz]

I can see the voltage slowly dropping on my dx6i tx, so at what voltage level would i not fly and change or recharge the batts? cheers, Loz

I normally don't let it drop past the line in the middle, I am using rechrgables 2500mah and they last about 6/8 weeks before a charge

Hi loz,
According to the book, an alarm sounds at 4.3v. I like mine to be between 5v and 6v.
Cheers

It depends on the battery you are using and when you last charged it. The new low discharge NiMhs are best and are ok down to 5V. If you use ordinary NiMhs some of them lose their charge in a day or so and you end up having 3 full cells and 1 dead cell. Looking at the volts doesn't work with ordinary NiMhs. Charge them up and then test the tx a week later and see how long it lasts.
