If you are a frequent
Walkera helicopter flyer
like me, you will find
this Transmitter LiPo
battery very handy. This
LiPo battery fits
perfectly into the
battery compartment of
the Walkera transmitter,
and also reduces the
total weight of the
transmitter. I don't
know how much money I
have spend on standard
AA and rechargeable AA
batteries over the last
couple of years, but
that all ended when I
bought this Transmitter
LiPo battery.
Transmitter operating
times with the 2000mAh
LiPo are magnificent.
From the first day I
started using the LiPo,
it took about six weeks
before I had to recharge
the battery. LiPo
batteries are very power
efficient in
transmitters with
minimal Amp draw,
but you have to be
careful when using them
in your Walkera
transmitter. The total
voltage of a fully
charge three cell LiPo
battery equates to
12.6V, so that it is
0.6V more than the
designed 12V operating
voltage range of the
Walkera transmitters. To
overcome this problem,
you need a digital LiPo
battery charger to
monitor and stop
charging at 12V, or to
set the cut-off charging
voltage to 12V.
The
FUTABA AND JR connectors
on the LiPo battery
won't fit into the
female connector of the
Walkera transmitter, so
you have to cut one of
the LiPo battery
connectors off, and
replace it with the
Walkera battery tray
connector. Just be
careful that you don't
short-circuit the LiPo
battery wires while
removing the connector.
Connect red to red, and
black to black. Other
than this small
modification, this LiPo
works perfectly with
Walkera transmitters.
• Size: 95x30x18mm
• Weight:114g / 4.03 oz
• Capacity:2000mAh
• Voltage:11.1V
• Connector : FUTABA and
JR standard
I'm
using one Transmitter
LiPo battery in all of
my Walkera transmitters,
and swapping the LiPo
between transmitters is
quick and easy. Now I
don't have to worry
about short transmitter
operating times and
sudden power depletion
while flying. Great
product... Just keep an
eye on the voltage
during charging.
