    Battery Cell Balancing

    Autel batteries are smart batteries. They have a circuitry built in that handles the balancing as well as the charge rate and discharging to place them into storage mode. All the charger does is supply power.

    DIY aftermarket chargers for the EVO

    I have been using one for over 7 months with no issues. Nothing intelligent about them, since the circuitry in the battery is what determines the charge rate and time.

    Home point issue

    Multi-battery charger from Autel at CES

    Not the aftermarket mavic charger I have. And why can't they be better than DJI? That's the problem with my m600 and 210 rtk. Take for ever to get a et of batteries charged. It's not rocket science.

    Maybe dumb question

    Watch out for prop icing when very cold and very humid. It will go down.

    Storing EVO for extended time

    The EVO batteries are smart batteries. What that means is that you can store them even fully charged ,and they will self discharge to storage level after a given number of days of inactivity as set in the Explorer app . If you go to the menu in the Explorer app and go to battery, you will see...

    Firmware version 1.3.3.17 released

    Took it out again. Burned 2 batteries. Everything works perfect, video is smooth and totally controllable. Yaw is perfect, missions are good, video is very good. Did not do any calibrations after the update. This thing is turning out to be a beast. Love to fly it.:cool:
