Powered Format Swaps
- Do not plug 12S and 6S batteries simultaneously. When swapping from EFI to electric, designate a specific battery for the build to avoid cross-contamination.
- Do not mix battery types while charging or in use. For the H6HL, avoid using 12S batteries. Always perform a full storage charge if the drone will not be used for an extended period to maintain battery health.
Battery Incompatibility
Never plug 6S or 12S batteries into battery receptacles not designed for their intended use.
Example – H6 EFI & Hydrone: The XT90 connectors are designed for 6S batteries only. This harness combines two 6S 4750mAh batteries in series to create a nominal voltage potential of 44.4V (22.2V each) that powers the generator and your vehicle. Using two 12S batteries improperly with these connections creates a nominal voltage potential of 88.8V and will severely damage the electronics in your vehicle.
Example – H6HL: The H6HL uses eight AS150U connections to utilize voltage potential from eight individual batteries. These batteries are 6S 30000mAh batteries with a nominal voltage potential of 22.2V each. Do not confuse them with 12S batteries despite them using an AS150U connection. Each harness on the H6HL pairs two batteries in series to create a nominal voltage potential of 44.4V. This creates a total of four 44.4V voltage sources each in parallel to one another to extend flight time. Using two 12S batteries improperly with these connections creates a nominal voltage potential of 88.8V and will severely damage the electronics in your vehicle.
Example – 6S in 12S slots: In other cases such as inserting 6S batteries into connectors designated for 12S batteries, damage is unlikely to occur, however each battery would then be in parallel to one another, resulting in a total nominal voltage potential of 22.2V. This will not be enough to power the systems onboard your vehicle effectively. Always use 6S and 12S batteries where specified.
