DON'T BE LIKE ME....HOOK UP YOUR CABLES TO THE CHARGER BEFORE YOU CONNECT THE BATTERY. LOL
Excellent, Thanks in advance
Awesome I built 2 one for each side of my charger. Thank you for taking the time to spread the knowledge.
Good stuff, have picked up lots of useful info on Hubsan Zino from your channel and Facebook group, excellent stuff.
This is a useful video my friend. I think you'd be surprised how many of us out there don't know exactly when and where to solder things. Would have been nice to see your solder as well. Keep up the great work!
TheRcSaylors I guess I have a redo coming up. Others want to see the soldering as well so to be continued. 👍
TheRcSaylors you see, this guy can help us with questions and concerns. Great video. 👍👍
I PUBLISHED A MORE DETAILED VERSION.....ruclips.net/video/Izw0hqTpq6w/видео.html
You are the man! You’re videos make everything easy for those who are not familiar with all you can do with the Zino!
I am getting a charger. No more "toy grade" chargers for me!! Thanks for sharing your tutorial. 👍 👍
Cheers man I had no clue how to do it. One less thing to worry bout with this quad.
Great video as always!!... This mod would also work great for the new xiaomi FIMI A3... Keep the great info coming!
Just finished doing that cable mod, now I can use my HV chargers. I noticed it took another 20 minutes at 1 AMP balance charge AFTER I charged with the crappy Hubsan charger...no more short flights I hope.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Rob C this is just one way to do it. You can also do a separate extension to plug into the stock one but I didn’t have all I needed. A part 3 is on the way showing this and some better soldering tips and great alternatives to not soldering for those not comfortable doing it. Thanks
@@QCGUYThanks Chris. I just happend to have the balance connectors lying around from some previous mods. No problems with soldering on this end. I've been working with AWG 42 to 44 Magnet wire on a daily basis for decades. The 44 gauge is about as thin as a human hair. Thanks again!
Very useful, thanks 👍
Excelente!!!
Awesome been waiting for this...
Great mod, it would have been nice to see you do all the soldering. These projects never seem to go well for me. Thanks for sharing.
Ron Brown ruclips.net/video/Izw0hqTpq6w/видео.html
Awwww, I wanted to see how good a solderer you are! Also, you should have mentioned the 502C/T and 507A batteries are best treated this way since the stock chargers seem to have a knack for destroying batteries. When I got my 502T, that mod was the first thing i did. I tossed the stock charger in a box and never used it.
David Cash I can solder quite well. It’s not very hard to soldier wires together. 😂
I will update the batteries to specifics. I wasn’t sure exactly which ones at the time. Thanks David! 👍
On the 502C/T and 507A batteries, you must cut off the stock USB charger to create a hobby charger adapter! I made 2 sets of balance adapters and modified battery boot sockets from a 507 for John in RC Groups. He loved them.
David Cash Im going to redo this video showing the actual soldering. I’ll consider getting into the usb portion. Thanks buddy!
Always great advice, & thank you . I hope I can find your videos if you DO decide to tell Hubsan to F/O
W.G. Brown I won’t be joining the pack of wolfs telling them to F off but I will continue helping those who buy the products.
I do like some of the models and enjoy doing this so I’ll have to disappoint you on that one.
@@QCGUY I only want to be able to continue to follow your videos, I'm not a fan of,nor a hero of Hubsan, just a consumer drone flyer
Chris, the H501S has a balance terminal and the HIGH volt 2 wire connector. Do you suppose to use 2 connections on it or use the mod and leave the HIGH connector on the battery alone?
You need the banana plug adapter to add to the blue EC type power plug and then the balance plug goes into the charger.
Hey Chris, I appreciate your tutorial. I just received the iMax B6AC v2 Balance Charger you recommended I get. I want to discharge two of my ZinoPro 3000mAh stock batteries in order to discard them. These batteries are being consumed very rapidly when I fly my drone. I also have two 4200 mAh batteries which work perfectly fine.
As I write this, I'm currently discharging the first of the two stock 3000 batteries (just to test them a final time). My question is, does the iMax tell you when the battery is completely discharged?
It’s been a long time and I’ve only discharged one. I believe it tells you 👍🏻
I do the salt water soak now...
Realey good mate 😉😉😉😉
Looks like you can do this mod for the Zino with an extension cable without modifying the Zino stock cable. Then just simply plug the stock cable into the modified extension and then the modified extension into the charger.
Icantdrive55 Yes, there’s always more than one way to do most things. You can make the cable longer that way as well. I made a new version showing the soldering and if I recall I mentioned that.
I’ll post it tomorrow...👍
Baterry cable have 4 colours cable, what colour you used to connect black negative and red positive to go the balanced charger?
Red and Black....Just check the positive and negative from the marking on the plug to the other end of the wire to be safe because they change these cables and I also don't assume they did red + and black -
Okay s stupid question here, the Hubsan Zino transmitter when is it completely charged? The book has no mention of this, is completely charged when all the lights on the transmitter are solid blue? Thanks!
Yes sir
Hi Great Video, what current would you recommend to charge the zino pro battery with the imax, dont really need a fast charge but a good charge, Thanks.
ATTICMAN 2.5 amp LiHV balance charge.
In setting battery to STORAGE charge, what amp do you save for settings? Would 1.5a be sufficient enough?
Miller Ingram 1.5 is as high as I would go. These chargers get hot at higher discharge rates.
Nice vid, i learned a bit! Where would one get cable connectors for Husban H122D? I just received my storm today and there was no usb to battery charging cable. just a micro USB cable, that you plug in directly to the Storm. Then connect battery on the storm. It starts to charge and the buzzer and lights start to flash. as there is not enough in the battery to bind with remote. then it drains the battery faster than the micro usb can supply.. took over 20 days for the h1222d arrive, so even if they do send me a cable i can not even fly until it gets here another 20 some days!!!
Brian Schemenski join my group and you will find the cables for this balance extension.

Hi QC Guy. Looking at your video, looks like the positive and negative wires are to be connected to the positive and negative wires of the harness provided by Zino. Can you confirm please? I have a charger for LiPO but I can probably use that to balance the battery.
robasce Correct about the positive and negative and a lipo battery charger will charge it but only at lipo levels so a little less flight time. Your charger needs LiHV capabilities.
Question, please: Can I just connect the Zino cable to the charger without the mod? Will it charge faster or better - or at all? (Just lazy...)
David Kempton no you need this mod or a separate balance extension. Watch part 3 to see the extension. 👍
@@QCGUY Thx.
What a pity that you did not record the moment you did the work directly on the Zino charger cable. Query: It was not clear to me what are the colors of the cables that we are going to find when we cut the ZIno's charger and with which one of them we must connect the positive and the negative of the banana plugs. Could you please try to explain it here? I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much in advance.
Vladimir Lugo I’ll do a redo video.
Hi mate I got a new hubsan zino 1 with 3 batteries not changed them yet would I be better just to use the lead like yours
Absolutely 👍🏻
Also watch my battery maintenance video.
@@QCGUY 👍 will do
One question please:
Why do i have to modify the battery cable?
Will be there any problem of i connect the battery cable to the balance charger directly?
is it going to charge with no problems?
Please explain to me in simple English because my mother tongue is not English.
Thanks
قناة أبو ياسر للتقنية There are different ways. Read the description of the video. There are 3 parts to this video covering different ways.
Curiosity question.
Instead of cutting into the Zino charging cable itself, could you use one of the extension cables and wire that you instead. Then just plug that into the Zino cable and the charger?
Woody Daniels Yes, I mentioned that in another video that Im doing one of those too with different alternatives to soldering for those not comfortable soldering.
I prefer taking one cable along myself so I usually make up the one cable like this video when possible.
@@QCGUY cheers. I have no issue with soldering just occurred to me leaving the original cable intact may be the better option.
Woody Daniels All depends on preference and comfort levelI suppose. Like I said I like just having the one for a battery like this.
There usually more than one way to do things so this is the one and what you mentioned is the other.
I made the video doing the other so I just need to publish it. Thanks
Thanks for the vid.
Two questions.
Firstly do you have a link to the charger you are using or at least the model name and number.
Secondly how much quicker was the charging on the Zino battery vs the supplied charger by hubsan?
Woody Daniels Yes, just search iMax B6 V2 and make sure it says genuine because there are cheap knockoffs.
The real deal should be priced around the $40 to $50 range and it’s a great safe and dependable charger.
Woody Daniels Sorry, I cant give a exact number of how much faster because I don’t pay that much attention but it’s definitely quicker, safer and you can prolong the life of your batteries better with being able to put them in storage mode.
Thanks mate
I bought a Zino. If I want use the SkyRC S65 (2s-4s) balance charger could I just ignore the 5th pin? SkyRC has 5 pins and Zino charger just 4.
I would make a cable with a jst 5 pins on one side ignoring the last pin and on the other a jst with 4 pins. Will it work?
Thanks in advance.
Bruno Nobru I would look that up to be sure. I don’t know myself but you could always just try and see if it gives you an error.
@@QCGUY Thanks for your answer. To clarify, I made simple diagram.
Can you take a look? imgur.com/a/jkwGPxO Thanks in advance.
Bruno Nobru Yes same thing I did in my other video on this topic. There is a part 2 and 3 showing other ways.
@@QCGUY Thank you very much.
I had seen your other videos before. I had doubts if I could leave the fifth pin of the charger unused. But now I know I can.
Bruno Nobru from what I now know about this charger is it will work this way as long as negative is in the negative it will do 2,3,4 cells fine leaving the unused pins out of it.
Does it support LiHV batteries is the important part with this battery.
Did you ever show how to setup the settings for the battery with iMax?
Miller Ingram I did and then I pulled it because too much conflict with people that set theirs up differently and swear their way is the only way and mine is wrong. There is no law here and stock settings are were I keep most everything set to.
OMG!
Hi! :-)
Just purchased a Zino and are, in the process, introduced to a whole new world of charging and balance and drones preferably not falling out of the sky at any point ;-)
So, to my question, as this video is about a year and a half old, and I got my Zino just over a month ago, do you know if their "standard" balance charger is "upgraded" or if it is the same as the one you are talking about? Mine says BC007, if my eyes works properly... :-)
If it's the same still; off to the Scandinavian version of olde RadioShack I go, to purchase whatever I am able to identify in your video! ;-) :-D (...except the B6AC, which seems not to be available "locally", as far as I have been able to "google" :-) )
Thanks anyway for a very good instructional videoseries, subscribing promtly! :-)
Regards,
Jon, Norway
...and a quick follow-up; I've seen some versions of a "three-headed-charging-cable" for the Zino batteries, could I use such a cable set-up for charging three batteries at a time, or is this mostly a "gimmcik" and not recomended?
Looking forward to all and any enlightening reply! :-)
Jon, Norway
Jon Torstein Bakken yes that charger is older than this video. I recommend you search and purchase the IMAX B6 V2 and a balance extension so that you can charge the Zino battery with that charger. I personally stay away from the multi charging cables and focus on charging one battery at a time. Slow and steady wins the race.
QC GUY Thanks a bundle for the swift reply, advice taken, of to Kjell & Co (our «Radio shack» 😉) I go!! (And EBay for the Imax, I reckon ... 🙂). Thanks also for giving us newbie drone enthusiasts a place to get educated! Take care and stay safe! 😃
Hello, the three Zino batteries that I have do not last for 3 minutes "they have one year", I have not used the Zino for 5 months and I have always charged them with the original charger with three cables that I bought separately with the 3 at the same time and I think that there is the problem "the charger", now it is time to buy batteries, Hubsan has released a new 11.4v and 4200mAh batteries, they are on Aliexpress, they are more capacity, they are black and red, please give me your opinion and a good charger so that they last a little longer than the first ones, orient me how I should keep them when I will not use them for a long time, greetings
The charger I showed here is perfect 👌
Those red batteries? Not hubsan!
3rd party and Hubsan doesn’t like them being used. They are trying to tell people they are bad. lol
Hi, is it possible to charge the battery quickly with this method? Thanks
0o o0 Yes, I have not timed it nor do I charge higher than 3.0 Amps with this battery but it’s faster and more balanced than if I used the hubsan battery charger. Plus you can put it in storage mode using this setup.
Hubsan QC Help & Support thanks for your answer. Also do you think it's possible to modify the battery case to put in lipo batteries (maybe with more mah for more flight time)
@@0oo033 Absolutely! I have a short video on my channel showing the area you need to hook into and possible ways to do it. You can do it with pretty much any quad out there.
Sorry, you meant putting a different battery in the battery frame itself. I personally wouldn’t even give it the time to try. It’s not an easy thing to do if you could do it and finding the right size is a big hunt.
Hubsan QC Help & Support yes i think the same, but if it could be possible to find a good size (even if it 's smaller it must work) it must be really cool because i think it will be hard for me to find batteries here in Belgium and if i order out of Europe i will pay a lot of taxes😡
can charge using 4A?
Brandon Zhun yes but 3 is going to be best for now and the long term life of your battery.
Yeah, also I'd like to have seen if your solder joints were as beautiful ( ugly) as mine....LOL
W.G. Brown Usually they are pretty good but sometimes shit happens! 😂 We’ll see! 👍
Amigo podrias decirme cual es el positivo y cual es el negativo? supuestamente yo, son 3 negativos y un positivo, es correcto esto?
My Friend could you tell me which is the positive and which is the negative? Supposedly me, there are 3 negatives and one positive, is this correct?
TheSadielinho Red is positive and black on the end is negative. ruclips.net/video/Izw0hqTpq6w/видео.html
@@QCGUY thanks man, I saw the other video.
One more question.
Can you charge full the zino's battery with this charger, I don't find the option to charge Batteries LiHv type.
TheSadielinho Yes you can! If not you probably have a fake clone charger.
@@QCGUY I made a wrong buy, my balance charger is version 1, you have version 2.
The version one don't have LiHv option 😬.
Is there a website where I can buy this cable?
Tommaso Gabbriellini Where do you prefer to shop? I have them in my banggood group.
facebook.com/groups/qcguysdeals/?ref=share
@@QCGUY anywhere that ships to Italy. I was actually looking for the finished cable. I didn't find on your page.
Tommaso Gabbriellini I can make you one and ship it to you.
@@QCGUY I'll send a msg on fb
Tommaso Gabbriellini 👍
it just charges each cell separatelly to whatever voltage it gets, and then drone thinks its fu..ed up... sadly comunism do not hold it from falling apart in europe :< thanks for this video :)
I'm thinking of how to rig non proprietary batteries in my zino because I just learned today they do not ship batteries to Canada. ..just great news....
Yes those on your shoes with getting proprietary batteries shipped are the ones I feel sorry for but you can mod it for another battery easily I'm sure. The hardest part would be just cracking the ZINO open. I partly opened it up and it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.
Yes..I tried to pull her apart and stopped also...when I feel brave enough I will give it another shot.
