Bashy, the numbers are 11.7V 1.7A (max) so around 20A which is 1/3 less then the 29A max that DJI lists for this batterys. My problem is not the math, but rather that DJI still lists a max charging voltage of 8.8V. I also have read from non DJI sources that the batteries can be charged at a higher voltage. Why does DJI still post the lower voltage? My worry is that this is a way they can disallow a claim for repair or damage, even if it isn't related to charging... Just my thoughts.
They do not list 29A as far as i know, its actually 29W, i was rounding up to 30 as its near as damn it, and 8.8v is max charging
Not sure where you're seeing 11.7V? I've checked the site, the battery, the charger and the hub whilst writing this reply, the hub itself can take a max input of 12v x 3a = 36w, thats over the 8.8v, doesn't mean it will be doing that though, that's another wee safety net. the max that the batteries can charge at is, to be exact, 8.8v x 3.3a = 29w, they will NOT charge any higher than that, that's their cut off, they can charger lower, certainly lower than you'd think, but then they would be much slower.
To be fair, i do not know much about electricity but what i do know is that DJI is usually pretty good when it comes to safety with batteries. The batteries will ONLY ever draw what they need. |
