Let's see.... replacement batteries cost $159. Risk a $1500 - $1750 drone to try and keep using a compromised battery, to save $160 on another battery?
I mean, I wouldn't risk a sub $200 RC airplane on an old, puffy battery, and the airplane has at least some potential to glide in for a repairable landing if power is lost.
Li-Po batteries are nothing to fool around with, whether it's the high-tech batteries such as those for our drones, or simple batteries without additional electronic circuitry such as those I use with my planes. Trying to use them after they are compromised is a case of being penny-wise and pound-foolish. |
