View Full Version : When are Lipos considered run in?
After how many flights do you consider the 8000 maH packs (TPs in particular) ready for all-out 3D action?

BTW, I posted this batteries question here because I would like the opinion of Ion-X users specifically. I hope this is not going to upset anyone. Thx

No Problem posting here mhn. Good idea, there are a lot of knowledgable Ion-X flyers that follow this forum.

Hi Michel-Henri
In the past, it usually took 6 to 10 "soft" flights before the packs were all stabilyzed (read that as "not getting any better"). With the new Pro-Lites, I think I had better than 20 flights and they were still improving.
But I was wrenching on them pretty hard after the first half dozen cycles. I think if you run 6 soft cycles before you push them you should be O.K.
And of course, always stay away from the limits of the battery.
