Puffy Batteries

[Ben Freedman]

Howdy...

I have 2 different kinds of batteries from X6. My first set are all black, and my second set are black on the sides, but you can see the silver-cells from the ends. The shrink wrap doesn't cover the silver cells on the ends.

Well, ALL of my silver batteries have started to puff up over the last couple of weeks.

I have contacted DF and will be looking to get these replaced...

Anyone else had this issue?

Hi Ben,

We had one battery that was puffy, must say that Draganfly send us directly a new battery.

I sent mine back to DF, and they replaced them right away. Must be a common problem because no one there batted an eyelid...

Hi Ben,
Great there is now a forum for X6 owners!! Lots to discuss and learn. Yes I have just a a battery puff up the silver sided one. Have contacted DF who want a log of flights with that battery. Not sure how I will provide that, will contact them today to find out.

I have had to send a log of my flights to DF they say if you overdischarge a battery it can cause puffy batteries. Over discharging is caused by leaving the battery connected, flying past the low voltage warning sign, and leaving it on for extented periods of time. What are the thoughts about the GPS hold I find it pretty erractic even if I have the required number of satilities and the statile arrangements?
Cheers,
Mike
