Does anyone know what it is NiCad, LiPo or what?

Curious, why do yo ask?

Says right on the battery LiPo.

He was asking about the controller battery ..I believe it is also LIPO.

It would depend on when you would charge it.  A LiPo doesn't care when it is charged.  However, I believe it is best to charge a NiCad when it is almost dead.

Ah, well yes, I never open my RC to delve internally.

I would strongly presume they are of the same family.


I might have to clean my glasses, or learn how to read slower.

Evelyn Wood you know? ;-)

If it's faulty, you should probably send it in for a replacement.
Or return it to the vendor where you purchased that unit, and get it exchanged.

The battery inside the RC is a LiPo.

Have you tried resetting the WiFi and relinking it to the aircraft, just to ensure it's communicating information properly? Did you notice this after a firmware update or was the RC dropped at any point?

Dose anyone no how u can wire this without power board on top?????i did try this !!!! Lol but couldn't get voltage readout on app
