batt tester(for multi cells) or multimeter. usually if a cell is damaged, it won't hold a charge as long as it used to.

if you ever discharged a lithium batt below 3.0v, there is a chance that it is damaged. (depends on cell quality.)

Condition 1:
If the Li-po battery is below 2.8v and you cannot charge fully (trickle charge at 0.2A) it then its 'kong'. Above 2.8v is salvageable.

Condition 2
If your Li-po battery physically 'ballooned' or feel spongy you manage to full charge it but performed 50% or less runtime from original then its 'kong' because its loosing "A" (Amp) performance. Throw it away before it gives you mental pain.


A good healthy Li-po battery have minimum 'storage' charge at 3.5v per-cell, Min limit 3.3v and max limit 4.2v~.
I have many Li-po battery accidentally discharge at 2.7~2.8V per-cell because i fly my jet (EDF) at full amp but still manage to keep it alive and healthy for 5 years if you practice always to charge/balance it at 0.5~0.8A rate. If you never intend to use Li-po battery within 3 days keep it at storage mode at 3.5V per-cell as oppose to 3.8v by popular trends.

all lithium based battery works the same way. just with a little +/- in the voltage values. example, a good quality li-ion can go down to 2.5v and still be fine.

Like Zeroglyph says, same thing but slightly lower at 2.5v. The good news about Li-on, it seldom 'kong' compare to Li-po. I drain it up to 1.8v per-cell but manage to charge back and runs ok like new.

I use basic 60W normal solder, to solder on Li-on cylinder make sure you scrub the negative and positive contact terminal using sand paper "kertas pasir' to get the rough surface so that the melted solder could grip tight on the surface else solder patch won't stick very well.

Yes Mavic Pro is easy to control because its automatic assisted flight. With that price everything is automation.

Finally bought a Eachine VR D2 goggle. First FPV flight around house feel different, need to get used to. It stay just fine on my face and the footage from my KingKong Tiny7 is nice.
I bought the goggle for RM250 new sealed from some facebook page i found which is quite cheap and only takes 1 day to arrive since its just local postage.

do note that mavic/phantom and the likes don't really teach you much in terms of flying the craft. those are aerial photography quad, so it does most of the flying for you while you take pictures/video. it's easier, but less thrilling.

it's like driving manual vs automatic.

No license.

Anyway, whatever you choose to fly, manual or auto(mation), always remember to fly safely and responsibly.

Hi, just purchase a JJRC H36,
maybe i just too noob at flying, i just cant make it stop at mid air
it either too powerful hit the ceiling or drop to floor......
is it because of the flight controller?

How much you bought this? Is it worth to buy? Can share some photo taken by this drone?
Looking for affordable fordable drone like this.
