9 Before you fly
9.1 Charging your batteries
Before leaving for the field to perform a flight, be sure to fully charge your eBee X
batteries¹. The eBee X’s camera takes its power from the drone’s battery. It does
not have its own battery.
About your charger
Your eBee X’s battery charger independently balances the voltage of each of the
battery’s cells to ensure optimal performance and battery life.
The charger is capable of charging the battery to approximately 100% for flight,
70% for storage or 30% for shipping.
Charging for flight can take up to an hour and a half, depending on the charge
level of the battery and the amount of cell balancing required. See Battery care
and safety on page 85 for more information on maintaining your drone’s batteries.
For security purposes, when charging or discharging your batteries please take
into account possible differences between the indicated and actual charge level.
When charging, both the charging cable and the balancing cable must be con-
nected to the charger.
¹ when delivered, the eBee X battery may not be fully charged
