Lipo Capacity drop

[kenghock]

I was charging my lipo and it finish at 1500mA instead of the 2100 name plate capacity. Does this mean the pack is just old or its is damaged. Should I keep using the pack.

Thanks

Hi,

It does not mean that the pack is just old or its is damaged.

It just means for the amount of time you used the pack, it used up 1500mA.

Normally recommended not to use up more than 80% of lipo pack capacity.

80% of 2100mah is 1680mah. So you have not use up 80% yet, means you can fly abit longer.

Increase your flight timer abit, fly then see how much you charge back, adjust your flight time accordingly from there.
