Been flying a X5C for last month with the same 4 batteries. Recharge batteries day before I use them and my flight time has been reduced by 30%-40%. Any idea for this? Approx. how many times can you recharge these batteries before you need to trash them? Trying to figure out why my flight time is being reduced. I am a newbee and have been improving flying skills (keeping quad in air more). After a few minutes into the flight the quad just does not want to climb. Any suggestions?
For many of us the machines don't even last that long! That is, we crash or lose them in the trees fairly quickly. A good Lipo should do better than what you are getting. 50+ charges should be no problem - and maybe only a 10% drop in power. The motors and gears (if that model has gears) can wear out fairly quickly a mimic a bad battery since they need more power to keep the machine level.
