In this thrilling episode of RCModelReviews, we witness the team embarking on a daring mission to enhance the power and endurance of the Foxy Aura 7 quadcopter. Armed with new 21700 cells weighing a hefty 69 grams each, they are set to revolutionize the quadcopter's performance. These cells offer a significant capacity boost, delivering 30 more milliamps than their predecessors, allowing for a remarkable 45-amp power output. The team highlights the importance of utilizing leaded solder for efficient and safe battery assembly, emphasizing the need for precision and caution when working with these powerful components.
Sourcing their cells from 18650 Batteries New Zealand, the team showcases the cost-effectiveness of building their own battery pack compared to purchasing one off the shelf. By meticulously preparing and soldering the cells in alternating directions to minimize internal resistance, they ensure optimal performance and longevity for their custom battery pack. With a keen eye for detail and safety, they meticulously solder the cells together, creating a robust and reliable power source for the quadcopter.
As they carefully position the main lead at the base of the battery for seamless integration with the quadcopter, the team demonstrates their commitment to maximizing efficiency and performance. Through their expertise and dedication, they showcase the art and science of crafting a bespoke battery pack that not only enhances the quadcopter's capabilities but also exemplifies the thrill of pushing boundaries and embracing innovation in the world of RC aviation.
