Tattu 200C Lipo battery is on the way!

On the 1st, April, Gens Ace & Tattu official Facebook page post a news:

Forget about the c rate,70c or 100c,we now have a new one coming out in July,200C 5000mah!!! Not saying the burst can reach 2000A,but the consistent current can do 500A,means you can go full throttle as long as you want,sample just passed ,check the 500A discharge rate chart sending from the engineer office!!!

200c-lipo-battery-01

It is said that there will be a 200C Lipo battery, but that day is a special day-Fool’s Day, I think this just a kidding by Gens Ace Tattu. Though Tattu has many high discharge rate lipo batteries like thes 4s lipo batteriesTattu Rline 1300mAh 4S 95C Lipo battery and Tattu Rline 1550mAh 4S 95C Lipo battery, but most pilots want to get a higher discharge rate battery.

Yesterday I found a exciting news from Tattu official Facebook page:

Tattu R-line 1300/1550mAh 4S 100C HV Packs on the way.

200c-lipo-battery-02

Tattu post this news on the top of their Facebook page, I think this isn’t a false information, they want to to tell us they are building 100C Lipo battery. And this battery’s name is Tattu R-line 1300mAh/1550mAh 4S 100C HV Lipo battery. These lipos discharge rate is 100C, the max discharge will be 200C.

Tattu official didn’t say when they publish these batteries, we need wait, if you want to know more news about these lipos, you can follow their Facebook page.

When will drones have longer battery life and longer flight time?

I often heard some pilots ask me how to get longer flight time for drones, When can we expect them to have flight times upwards of one hour? Is that something in the near future or a ways away? when will drones have longer battery life, Why are drone and quadcopter flight times so short? About these questions, I will list some answers to you.

when-will-drones-have-longer-battery-life-and-longer-flight-time

How to get longer flight time for drones?

Flight time isn’t all about battery, but also about weight and motor performance. Low-power motors and high capacity drone battery(you should choose high capacity with light weight capacity Lipo battery).

Batteries : The common battery technologies used in drones (LiPo, LiFePo) should not evolve much more than a 10% increase in energy density in the next years. Flight time should be improved in the future when new battery technologies will become more broadly available (i.e. less expensive and mass produced) and safe enough to fly. But now you can choose an high quality drone battery which has high capacity, light weight and small size.

Battery recommend: Tattu drone batteries;

Motor performance could be improved in the next few years but that improvement will not be very significant (probably less than 10% flight time increase). Choose a high performance with low-power is our standard.

Motor recommend: T-motor motors;

Weight : A lot can be done to reduce weight on drones, using different materials (complex composite materials or metal alloys). It can allow some weight reduction (but that weight reduction is highly dependant on the precise UAS type) and a subsequent flight time increase. But this will come at a huge price increase.

For example: Lumenier QAV250 Carbon Fiber Edition.

New ways of storing energy more efficiently can be applied to drones : fuel cells are currently being experimented by a lot of companies and that technology does represent a huge potential. However, fuel-cells do not deliver a lot of current right now, which limits their use to very lightweight drones.

How do drones have longer battery life?

tattu-uav-battery-768x473

I think the questioner want to ask the flight time or not battery life, but the flight time I have explain, now let’s talking about the battery life. Most people will have a problem like this: Your drone’s flight time get shorter and shorter. Why? The reason is your battery’s life get shorter, your battery’s capacity get small. About drone lipo battery, you should know this basic Lipo battery knowledge to know how to maintain your Lipo battery.

When will drones have longer battery life

xiaomi-mi-drone-4k-06-768x576

I don’t think you will wait a long time, in the past 10 years, our world has changed very fast; now most drones are use Lipo batteries, DJI Phantom and Xiaomi mi drone 4K can fly about half an hour, so I think drones fly time upwards of one hour is not far. And most battery manufacturers are developing it. Tattu drone battery has try their best to do it, now they has produced 30000mAh Lipo battery(as we know high capacity means long flight time), I think better lipo battery will produce in future.

How often to recharge your Lipo battery?

This is a advice to you, teach you How often to recharge your Lipo battery? I heard many people don’t know how to recharge their Lipo battery, So write a blog to tell you.

charge2blipo2bbattery

A LiPo should not be discharged below 3.2V per cell.

It also has a slow self-discharge, so if you’re not going to use it for many months, giving it a charge so you know it won’t go below 3.2V is helpful.

Charging all the way to full (4.2V / cell and only a small current remaining) will wear the oxide in the cell, though, and thus “consume life” of the cell. Charging it up to a lower voltage will damage it less.

Thus, a good idea might be to charge to 3.9V or 4.0V per cell, use a trickle charge like 0.2C, and cut off the charging once it gets there. This will pad against self-loss, and also make sure that the battery is at least 70% or so ready to be used if you need it immediately, yet not wear it out too much. (This is what I generally do.)

Note that you’ll need to use a charger that lets you set the voltage. Personally, I use a high quality benchtop power supply, and charge the full stack (without worrying about balance.) I set the current limit to something small, and then keep an eye on it, and when the battery draws less than the current limit, at the target voltage, I call it done.

Once I want to charge it full, I use a balance charger to make sure the cells are in “harmony,” but you really don’t need to do that every time you charge.

If you know that you will use the battery within a week or two, though, just charge it full right away.

Build a Mini Racing Quadcopter

I want to fly a plane in the sky, but it is very difficult to achieve. FPV quadcopter help me come true my dream. Flying things are cool, especially when they’re fast! Follow along as I build this 250 sized mini FPV racing quad.

These are my Quadcopter Materials:

  • 1806 2300KV Brushless Motor x 4pcs
  • HobbySky 20A Simonk Brushless ESC x 4pcs
  • H250 ZMR250 250mm Carbon Fiber Mini Quadcopter Multicopter Frame Kit
  • CC3D Openpilot Flight Controller with Black Case
  • 6030 6*3 2-Blade CW CCW Nylon Propeller x4
  • Tattu 1300mAh 4S 75C Lipo battery

Optional for FPV Video

  • 7″ Inch TFT LCD Mirror Monitor
  • TS5828 5.8Ghz 600mW AV Wireless Transmitter
  • RC832 5.8G AV Receiver 32CH – £16.10800TVL PCB Board Camera

Step 1: Build That Frame

Build a Mini Racing Quadcopter 01

Grab your frame parts and get assembling, there are a load off slightly different designs out there so I recommend following the instructions that came with your frame. If you didn’t get any like me then have a good guess. You’ll figure it out eventually!

Step 2: Mount That Motor

Build a Mini Racing Quadcopter 02

This steps pretty easy, just grab your motors and screw them to your frame with those tiny bolts that came with your motor. Drop a little bit of thread-lock onto the bolts if your worried about them vibrating out.

Step 3: Divide That Power

Build a Mini Racing Quadcopter 03

Okay so a quadcopter has 4 motors, which means we need 4 electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to power the motors, one for each motor. I’m using a power distribution board which splits the power from the battery to each ESC. You can just solder the wires together but using a board makes it much easier and usually more reliable. Make sure you get the polarity right or you’ll be sure to release the magic smoke. You’ll also want to solder some wires to connect to your battery. I’m using an XT-60 connector. I secured the board to the bottom with double sided foam tape. That stuffs really useful! Use zip ties to strap the ESCs to the arms and tidy the power wires.

Step 4: Connect That Motor

Build a Mini Racing Quadcopter 04

So we have the ESCs and the motors but there not connected together yet. Lets change that. Usually I use bullet connectors but as this is a racing quad we want it to be as light as possible so I chose to just solder the wires together. Your going to want to use heat-shrink on all the connections to prevent short circuits but don’t shrink it yet as you might need to swap some connections later on. Just solder each of the 3 wires from the ESC to a motor wire. Give the freshly soldered connection a tug to make sure its secure. Then slide the heat-shrink over the connection but remember to not shrink it yet.

Step 5: Stick on That Flight Controller

Build a Mini Racing Quadcopter 05

Theres loads of multi-rotor flight controllers out there. I’ve read some good things about the CC3D so I used it for this build. I think its great! Really simple to setup and fly’s really well. I mounted it with some more of the foam tape which works well, make sure the its pointing forward. Follow the wiring diagram to connect the ESCs to the CC3D, we’ll connect the receiver in the next step.

Step 6: Connect That Computer

Build a Mini Racing Quadcopter 06

You’ll want to download the open pilot software from

https://wiki.openpilot.org/display/WIKI/OpenPilot … which will enable you to configure the flight controller properly. Please note that the latest version that supports the CC3D board is 15.02.02 just scroll down a bit on the download page to find this version. Once you have it installed open it up and you’ll be welcomed with the main menu. See that big green button? Press that to setup your quad. Read the message about removing the props and make sure you do it. Its not worth shredding your hands or worse for the 2 mins it takes to remove them. Okay safety over, click next.

  • Now were going to update the firmware on the CC3D, check the erase all settings box and then upgrade. Make sure you don’t unplug the board.
  • Next connect to the board to continue the setup by clicking next.
  • Select the type of signal your receiver uses, most use PWM so if your not sure thats your best bet.
  • Continue and select multi rotor for the vehicle type.
  • Then choose “X”
  • Next select your ESC type, again if unsure leave the default selected.
  • It will now show you the options you selected. Make sure they look okay and continue.
  • Now were going to wire in the receiver to the CC3D, the diagram will help you here. Use the supplied cable to connect the receiver to the left side of the CC3D.
  • Now open pilot will calibrate the sensors for us. To help it do this place your quad on a level surface so its completely flat and click calculate. When done click next.
  • The ESCs need to be calibrated to ensure they all operate in sync with with the flight controller. Follow the instructions on the screen and continue.
  • Now we can spin up the motors and ensure they spin the correct way. Quadcopters have 2 motors that spin clockwise and 2 that spin anti-clockwise. We need to make sure that each motor spins the correct way. Follow the instructions to ensure the motors are spinning correctly. Remember we didn’t shrink that heat-shrink? Well if the motor is spinning the wrong way you will need to swap 2 wires on the motor. Make sure the battery is removed and desolder any 2 wires and swap them, this will reverse the motor. Next!
  • Select QAV250 for the initial tuning option. Then continue to save the configuration. Yay, were nearly done just need to setup the transmitter.
  • Turn on your transmitter, click the green button and move all the sticks and switches on your transmitter.
  • You can now select what flight modes you want, but can leave this as default if your not quite sure.
  • Finally select how you want to arm the quad, I use yaw left.

Disconnect the quad and now you can attach you props and plug in your battery and go flying. Enjoy your quad.

If you want some FPV action continue to the next step and leave the props off. If your leaving us here good luck and thanks for following along!

Step 7: FPV That Quad

Build a Mini Racing Quadcopter 07

Attach the board camera with zip ties so in the event of a crash it will have some room to move a little and hopefully won’t break. Solder power connectors from the power board on the bottom and attach the video transmitter to the top with a zip tie. Connect video signal from the camera and power from the board to the camera and transmitter. Finally tidy the cables so they aren’t in the way of the props.
