How to Install 2 3S Lipo in Typhoon 5S V5
Installing a 2 3S lipo battery in the Typhoon 5S V5 drone is a straightforward process that can provide your drone with increased flight time and performance. Whether you’re looking to extend your flying sessions or simply want to take advantage of the latest battery technology, this guide will walk you through the steps to safely and effectively install a 2 3S lipo battery in your Typhoon 5S V5.
Step 1: Prepare the Tools and Materials
Before you begin, gather the necessary tools and materials. You will need the following:
– 2 3S lipo battery
– Battery charger compatible with 2 3S lipo batteries
– Screwdriver
– Optional: Heat shrink tubing or electrical tape
Step 2: Disconnect the Power
Ensure that your Typhoon 5S V5 drone is turned off and disconnected from the power source. This is crucial to prevent any damage to the drone or battery during the installation process.
Step 3: Remove the Battery Cover
Locate the battery cover on the bottom of your Typhoon 5S V5 drone. Use the screwdriver to remove the screws securing the cover. Once the screws are removed, gently lift the cover off the drone.
Step 4: Disconnect the Old Battery
Locate the old battery and disconnect it from the drone. The battery is typically connected to the drone using a standard JST connector. Gently pull the connector out of the battery bay.
Step 5: Connect the New Battery
Now, take your new 2 3S lipo battery and connect it to the drone using the same JST connector. Ensure that the connector is securely seated in the battery bay.
Step 6: Secure the Battery
Once the battery is connected, it’s essential to secure it in place. This can be done by reattaching the battery cover and using the included screws to secure it. Make sure the cover is tightly fastened to prevent any movement of the battery during flight.
Step 7: Reconnect the Power
After the battery is securely in place, reconnect the power to your Typhoon 5S V5 drone. Turn on the drone and verify that the new battery is recognized by the flight controller.
Step 8: Optional: Insulate the Connections
For added safety, you may want to insulate the connections between the battery and the drone. This can be done using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. Simply wrap the tubing or tape around the exposed wires and use a heat source to shrink the tubing or secure the tape.
Step 9: Test the Drone
Finally, perform a test flight to ensure that the drone is functioning correctly with the new 2 3S lipo battery. Monitor the flight performance and battery life to confirm that the installation was successful.
By following these steps, you can easily install a 2 3S lipo battery in your Typhoon 5S V5 drone, providing you with improved flight time and performance. Always prioritize safety and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when working with lithium-ion batteries.
