ONE THING!!! With RC Cars, the low voltage cutoff is RIGHT before the cell is about to drop to 3.0-3.2v usually, (per cell ofc) so you guys still ALWAYS want to use one of these because not doing so will 1: Have a chance of harming your bat or ECU and 2: not put it at storage having you to charge it afterwards if you're not gonna use it. Put one on anyways, it will save the life of your car, and it will save your lipos in the long run. Happy bashing
I'm just getting into the hobby of RC flying and I found this video informative and worth watching and NOT boring. Thank you for bringing this out to us.
10:25 If you want to make your batteries last much longer (total lifetime, not use time per charge), never ever charge individual cells above 4.15 V. Also, the lifetime will also improve if you never go below 3.6 V but if you always stay within 3.6 V and 4.15 V to make cells last longer, the Wh per charge you can get from the battery is obviously going to be lower. You get maybe 80% out if you stay within those voltages.
A trick for newbies and those of us with fading memories/eyesight, marking the side where the ground is on the alarm/tester with a permanent marker makes it easier to align the balance lead correctly
I have been out of RC flying for over 20 years. WOW how things have changed. And I flew all gas engine planes at that time. Now just getting back into it (3D printing planes) and all the new electric planes is totally new to me. Thus, all this new battery usage is new to me. THANK YOU so much for saving me some money and keeping me and my family safer!!!! Your info is fantastic!!! Greg
Just found this video! This is awesome. I have two of these gizmos and this video taught me so much. Please continue making these great videos. Love the plain language. I got out of the hobby 20 years ago in the NiCd days and just got back into it 3 years ago and the LiPos scared the hell out of me. Videos like this help me to feel more comfortable in knowing what I'm doing. Thank you so much.
EXCELLENT VIDEO...**** At 77 years old I appreciate this video.....You explained the battery tester perfectly. I have yet to solo. I just bought 2 of them.. Thank You ! John Meksa....Florida.
I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago along with a AeroScout RTF plane and four extra smart batteries. I've been connecting the lipo alarm to the battery before I install it in the plane to check the readings. So far, I haven't flown the plane long enough to have the alarm sound (I've set it at 3.40). It is nice to be able to check the readings on the alarm when I'm finished flying. So far, I've been down to the 3.60 level. I bought the AeroScout RTF after viewing a couple of your videos on it and I've been thrilled with it so far!!!
Just re-entering RC world. Spent hours digesting info on LiPo batteries charging and storage, when I came across this video. With my new education this video is the most sensible one I've seen on RUclips and explained in a way that ties ALL of my learnings together. You even mention LiPo bags and ammo can although from what I've seen the bags are mostly worthless on their own! I will use a modified toolbox, a skill saw metal box, or a BBQ grill outside, on concrete, for ALL of my charging episodes. AND this little tool will always be within reach, or onboard my airplane. I would be a 3.6v alarmist lol because I might need a little longer to land and later find my self right at a consistent 3.8v storage charge. Thanks for this video and your introduction to the least expensive ESSENTIAL tool I've ever seen! Have a great day.
YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER, Nate. This is another excellent info training on the small extras you have learned along the way that mean so much to each of us. I flew my first R/C model plane a Top Flite model, the Top Dawg, with a galloping ghost radio in 1968. I learn something from you each time I watch The Rc Saylors, just goes to show you CAN teach an Olde Dawg new tricks!
I use these in my RC boats, so I have half a chance of hearing Lipo voltage before they get stranded in the middle of the water. I soldered an LED to one of the buzzer connections for a visual too. Great & informative.
So true, Nate! I love those things - I stash them everywhere. I had never noticed the little button! Thanks very much for the lesson, Saylors - not boring at all! Have a gorgeous day.
@@TheRcSaylors You made it well and chock full of info. These gauges seem like a silly little thing, but they're really useful and important, and far overlooked by our RUclips community. I'm glad you made it, and I will certainly share it as the definitive video about cell maintenance. So, thanks again! I bought a fresh 5 pack just last week, and I see in the comments that a few other folks did, too lol
I'm new to this RC world and my lipo battery lasted only 1 month and I was so confused and now I got this. Thank you for the valuable info. This was the best video I've seen about this checker thing. You explained perfectly. 🙏
Thanks for the information. I picked up a couple of these to use with my new Aeroscout. Have been flying fairly slow as I am learning so it is great to be able to fly until you hear the alarm. Have been getting 25 minute flights with lots of gliding. Fantastic information!!!
Those things are freaking loud! Don't fool with them late at night if you have roomates! Having them come running because they think a smoke alarm has gone off is *not fun*! But, yes, I bought a bunch when someplace, I forget where, had them on sale for 5 for $5 USD. Great devices.
Hi great video once you have plugged the battery into the balance lead and set the cut off alarm when you connect a new battery will the battery monitor remember what it’s set at or do you have to reset it every time thank you John
I’m so glad I watched this video. I’ve just got back into the hobby of RC planes and never used this in the past. I’ve been watching your channel for quite some time now as all your content is very enjoyable and informative to watch. This video is just perfect and I’ve now bought two alarms on Amazon for my 3S 2200mah G1 spektrums. Thanks Nate!
thanks for reminding me i have a drain injury & my memory is not their.like i have it wrote down which switch to turn on first remote or truck so thanks please keep the video coming for us simple folk.keep up the good work
I just got mine in the mail today. I'm getting back into flying after many years and I'm glad you guys are putting out all this content. Very helpful and appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Nate, Catching up on your older videos. You are so right about this battery tester, I velco them to my transmitters to keep at hand! Keep up the good work you two!!
And we have another crucial bit-o-info from the RCSaylors team. Thanks for the info, just bought a 4s pack for $80, worth $2 to protect it. Good job folks!
these are great! i dont know how these arent more popular. you dont need them allways, but when u are flying a new plane and you dont know the flighttime its the best thing
" Nobodys needs a Batterybuzzer! We simply fly(guestimate)the battery level according to the total flight time. that's how we do it since the beginning in the 70s" only a few quotes from my local RCClub. I personally always drive/fly with a battery buzzer. Thank you RCSaylors
Yeah we used to use stone knives too. You got guys that refuse to learn needed skills so they rest on "we used to do it back in......." Same with "smart chargers" for dumb people, some don't know and don't want to know what the values of the battery means. This comes from an attitude of just wanting to have fun and not doing anything that makes them feel uncomfortable. I think it can also be used to locate a lost plane if you shut off the transmitter it beeps.
Awesome video Nate ! Very important to know. That was the first thing I bought even before I had a lipo battery! I love your educational videos! I can't thank you enough for all you have taught me! Thanks again for another awesome video Nate & Abby !!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍😀
I fully agree with everything you said on the video, I've been doing as you said for years, I've handed out these to fellow club members to help them save their planes and their batteries, they're also a great tool if the plane goes down in a field, serving as a great locator device once the charge naturally goes down even though it might be that night or the next day. I wrap a thin rubber band around mine to secure them to the balance plug so that it will not dislodge if the plane goes down so that I can find it in a tree or in a field with high wheat, corn or soy.
I'm glad I found this video because I just received an order for 20 pairs of XT-60 connectors and they threw in one of those checker/alarms free and now thanks to you guys I know what to do with it..
I had seen these previously on other channels and assumed they were expensive , then you guys mentioned in passing how cheap they are . Bought a pack of 5 for $10 Aus , they work great and even came with understandable instructions . Very helpful in ground vehicles also , as it's easy to just drive until the battery's nearly dead before you notice . The info re voltage level settings was useful to me , thanks very much .
Many thanks valuable information. Bought one today so from now on I will follow your advice. Thanks again. I'm 74 and having a ball with my mini apprentice.
Yeah definately a must have cheap tool for lipo batteries. Also great for checking your batteries when they have been left in storage charge for a while. We have used these over the last few years and the majority of our lipo batteries are holding up well.
I've recently purchased several lipo testers after watching your video. I am new to the hobby, and I thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. VERY USEFUL
My name is Eugene Salmon I am new to this RC airplane hobby I really count on your videos on RUclips because I learned so much from them you never talk down to me and never Will I like to learn everything I possibly can and you will explain everything thoroughly thank you
My son and I are doing the research to know as much as we can, as we plan on getting started in the R/C world in the coming months. While I have a very good understanding of electronics and electricity, your videos are dumbed down just enough to be sure I think of everything involved. Yet still informative enough that anyone can get all the info needed. Thank you so much for these excellent videos.
I want to thank you for the lipo 101. I am getting back into RC planes and cars after 20 years. I know nitro and in in NICAD. This video was the best thing I have seen on lipo yet. BTW, I bought the Eflite Valiant 1.3 based on your and Abby's recommendation. You are 100% right. Best all around plane EVER? Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I am just getting back into flying after being out for a good number of years. I am going back into this with all electric planes. This will be a very good device to help save my batteries. Thank you very much for this informative video.
Bought a pack of five--still use the same one for all flights; it has more air time than anything else I own. TOTALLY worth it. I set it to go off at storage voltage so that I can just chuck the LiPo in its protective sleeve and not worry about it.
First off I find your channel very exciting. I been flowing both channels for about a year. Your information that you pass along help people like me feel more comfortable in the RC world. I’m thinking about getting the Redcat Gen 8 Rock Crawler. I love to see more gliders if possible love the family style show keep up the good work. Hope to be a future Patreon by November.
I listened to you and bought some. I finally received mine today from Banggood. I feel my rc level went up by 2 experience points. I watched the video again to relearn how to set the alarm. Cool stuff.
Thank you very much for this important informative video! 👍🏾 Thumbs-up for taking the time to create it!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Have a great day! Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷
Thank you for the lipo alarm video I bought 5 of them and I think they are so Important use them all the time saved me souch tim and reserch. I'm also thinking of upgrading my 1100 battery charger to a s2200 charger thanks loads love you guys keep up the good work.
Super informative video! Just bought my first electric truck and my first electric plane and this will come in handy so I just ordered a 5 pack of those devices. I'm used to flying my drones which all have smart batteries and so they just land themselves when it's time! Don't ever worry about talking down to people either because as techy as I think I am, I just learned a ton from this video! Those that already know can simply not watch or use a filter! LOL
Got these about two years ago..... never used them. Mainly because I did not know or understand how to use them. After this video, I have a great working knowledge and know why to use them. Thanks, keep doing what your doing, I turn to you two for a lot if hobby and product info. You two are couple goals!
OMG!!! You are AWESOME!!! SOLD!!! This is good because I got a telemetry radio for the sole purpose of reading the battery voltage but, dung, it only works up to 4 cells. My Notorious lasts for so long that stopping at storage mode is very convenient but so far I have been guessing terribly. Thank you!!!
Super awesome. New to the hobby. Have an aeroscout and am 3d printing Eclipson planes. Bought some of these and subscribed. Thanks for putting up great information!
Hi Nate just seen your video on lipo alarm great video I immediately went on Amazon and bought five thank you so much for your insight as I buy expensive batteries this will help me in my future thank you so much
I have bought four of these alarms. A massive thank you. Without you, I would never have known about these alarms. Keep making videos like this. They are extremely helpful. Love you guys, keep it up, you're great.👍👍👍👍😉
These are great for any application that uses lipo batteries and pair well with a smart charger as great investments or gifts for your favorite rc enthusiast. I use lipos for rc, airsoft, and to power little whachmadoodles in my costumes and these always let me know when to swap out or get ready to pack up.
@@TheRcSaylors I just want to thank you three, or I guess 4 now, for what you do. You, Abby and Popeye have always been a great resource for honest feedback on all rc. Not just hobby grade. I bought many a toy grade for fun and experimentation based on your reviews. So again, thank you.
Extremely good video for anyone in this hobby... i have had those for many years... i also get lazy and do not discharge before storing...cost me 100's easy in last 15 years using lipos...also if you ever cash a plane far in the woods and are lucky enough to have had low voltage set and start beeping before your crash it should be an easy find if everything stays connected...
Ive owned this tool for a few years now and never knew about the tiny switch or didn't know I should use it in my plane while flying, by golly I know now!! Good job dude and thanks!!!
You know,I never thought about that I so strictly adhere to my flight timer.Mybe the next rime I fly I should try to use my lipo alarm.I think you got a point.

DERP I had no idea until almost the end- you can use this while the truck is running AND I had no idea to plug lights into that balance plug thanks
Just be sure to BALANCE the pack, every time.
For sure, I have a few of these. Always good to leave one at home with your batteries and one in your car for when you go out.

Good job folks!
I had one and I didnt know what it was for like 6 months I found out what it was a month ago its very usefull
Possibly the best $2 you could ever spend in this hobby 👍⚓😃
Not boring. Inexpensive, important information. Refreshing! Hobbies tend to be, more marketing, less value.
Huh, I have two of these things kicking around somewhere.... now where did those things go... Thanks for reminding me. :D
these are great! i dont know how these arent more popular. you dont need them allways, but when u are flying a new plane and you dont know the flighttime its the best thing
Sometimes you may fly more aggressive or less aggressive even on the same plane, meaning very different flight times. I say use them always 👍⚓😎

Great video, Have purchased these in past to check voltage, never realized how much more they can do! Thank you for explanation!!
If this was the Navy, and I was having fun with a new recruit, I would tell him to weigh the batteries to see when they're full.
"And while you're at it, get the batteries for the sound powered phone!" 🤣
Don't forget the left-handed Crescent Wrench!!

Absolutely true. Avoid complicated systems for battery management. Buy 1 of these for each lipo pack- enjoy.
Good video. Thanks. I have just taken delivery of a bunch of these and now know how to use them, thanks to you.
Got them on all my planes and they save a lot of hassles! They’re audible from a fairly decent distance too. Love your little dog!
you explain things very well as a beginner i keep your vids as my go to vids . thank you i bought one
Thanks Wild Child 😁 That means a lot 👍😎⚓
Just bought a couple of these last month for the reasons you talk about. I believe the have 1 cell checkers now. Great video. It's fun to learn.
Not Boring, Thank you for sharing your knowledge Nate.
You are very welcome! Thanks for tuning in 👍⚓😃
Thanks again. I’m a nooby. I’ve watched this 3 times. I learn something every time.
Thank you very much for this important informative video! 👍🏾 Thumbs-up for taking the time to create it!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Have a great day! Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷
Thank you for sharing that very important tip. Picking one up this week. Happy RCing.
Thanks for the clear and concise explanation. Very helpful.
You guys have helped me a lot I'm new in rc.keep up the good work thanks.
Been into RC's for 40 years. Just learning about lipos. Good info. Thanks.
Thank you for the lipo alarm video I bought 5 of them and I think they are so Important use them all the time saved me souch tim and reserch. I'm also thinking of upgrading my 1100 battery charger to a s2200 charger thanks loads love you guys keep up the good work.
Super informative video! Just bought my first electric truck and my first electric plane and this will come in handy so I just ordered a 5 pack of those devices. I'm used to flying my drones which all have smart batteries and so they just land themselves when it's time! Don't ever worry about talking down to people either because as techy as I think I am, I just learned a ton from this video! Those that already know can simply not watch or use a filter! LOL
Got these about two years ago..... never used them. Mainly because I did not know or understand how to use them. After this video, I have a great working knowledge and know why to use them. Thanks, keep doing what your doing, I turn to you two for a lot if hobby and product info. You two are couple goals!
OMG!!! You are AWESOME!!! SOLD!!! This is good because I got a telemetry radio for the sole purpose of reading the battery voltage but, dung, it only works up to 4 cells. My Notorious lasts for so long that stopping at storage mode is very convenient but so far I have been guessing terribly. Thank you!!!
Great video just got these was not sure how to use them properly NOW I DO thanks to you.
I just clicked the link and ordered. Thanks for the information!
Super awesome. New to the hobby. Have an aeroscout and am 3d printing Eclipson planes. Bought some of these and subscribed. Thanks for putting up great information!
Hi Nate just seen your video on lipo alarm great video I immediately went on Amazon and bought five thank you so much for your insight as I buy expensive batteries this will help me in my future thank you so much
Excellent video, as someone who is just about to get into the RC Car hobby this was very useful info about batteries
Im a totally noobie at hobby and this was super informative for me. Help alot. Thx Saylors 👍
I have bought four of these alarms. A massive thank you. Without you, I would never have known about these alarms. Keep making videos like this. They are extremely helpful. Love you guys, keep it up, you're great.👍👍👍👍😉
Wow! A very fun $2 discharger! 🙂🙃🙂
These are great for any application that uses lipo batteries and pair well with a smart charger as great investments or gifts for your favorite rc enthusiast. I use lipos for rc, airsoft, and to power little whachmadoodles in my costumes and these always let me know when to swap out or get ready to pack up.
Yeah you are absolutely right! Great for airsoft as well 👍 Thanks a lot for tuning and and kudos for using this awesome little tool ⚓😃
@@TheRcSaylors I just want to thank you three, or I guess 4 now, for what you do. You, Abby and Popeye have always been a great resource for honest feedback on all rc. Not just hobby grade. I bought many a toy grade for fun and experimentation based on your reviews. So again, thank you.
Extremely good video for anyone in this hobby... i have had those for many years... i also get lazy and do not discharge before storing...cost me 100's easy in last 15 years using lipos...also if you ever cash a plane far in the woods and are lucky enough to have had low voltage set and start beeping before your crash it should be an easy find if everything stays connected...
Thank you so much, this was an eye opener for me, excellent video and I learned a lot and I am 75
Ive owned this tool for a few years now and never knew about the tiny switch or didn't know I should use it in my plane while flying, by golly I know now!! Good job dude and thanks!!!
You know,I never thought about that I so strictly adhere to my flight timer.Mybe the next rime I fly I should try to use my lipo alarm.I think you got a point.
