Battery Charging time

[chris1991]

How did you get on? Can you post what time it took to get warm and how long flying time you get? Someone else might find it useful too!

I charged it for just over 1h 10mins. At this point it was quite warm to the touch and so I took it off charge. That gave me about 35 minutes flying time.

all i know with those batteries is charge them until they are warm in your hand but not WARM. ive way overcharged a couple by accident and they take much longer to get warm now.

1hour 10mins charge time and 35mins flight time is very good. when you have used them, let them cool b4 re-charging. like joe said - charge them untill they are warm to touch not hot.

1hour 10mins sounds about right to me - i thought when pip said 3.5hours that would be way too long.

Chris,

Wow 35 minutes flight time. Is that solid hovering or does that include landing in between! The most I get out of a 1200mAh Lipo is about 15 minutes!!

The charger must be underated, or your battery can't have been fully discharged then! A charger running at 300mA will only provide 350mAh, even assuming zero losses!
