How to preserve the battery lifespan
All Flymaster instruments use Lithium-Ion batteries. Compared with traditional battery
technology, lithium-ion batteries charge faster, last longer, and have a higher power density
for more battery life in a lighter package.
The Flymaster lithium-ion battery uses fast charging to quickly reach 80% of its capacity,
then switches to slower trickle charging. The amount of time it takes to reach that first 80%
will vary depending on your settings and which instrument you're charging. This combined
process not only lets you get out flying sooner, but it also extends the lifespan of your
battery.
Charging is easy
Charge your Flymaster lithium-ion battery whenever you want. There's no need to let it
discharge 100% before recharging. Flymaster lithium-ion batteries work in charge cycles.
You complete one charge cycle when you've used (discharged) an amount that equals
100% of your battery's capacity - but not necessarily all from one charge. For instance, you
might use 75% of your battery’s capacity one day, then recharge it fully overnight. If you
use 25% the next day, you will have discharged a total of 100%, and the two days will add
up to one charge cycle. It could take several days to complete a cycle. The capacity of any
type of battery will diminish after a certain amount of recharging. With lithium-ion batteries,
the capacity diminishes slightly with each complete charge cycle. Flymaster lithium-ion
batteries are designed to hold at least 80% of their original capacity for a high number of
charge cycles, which varies depending on the instrument.
