Back Up Battery should be 47v minum minimum voltage to start the generator. The geneartor generator system will charge the battery to 49.5v during warm up and maintaine maintain battery voltage during normal operation. Caution- The Drone will not be allowed to arm and take off if battery level is below 47v. Caution- Its recommended that the backup battery is at least 48v before flying more then 1500' from your take off location so that the aircraft has suffcient sufficient backup battery in the event of a engine out. In the right density altitude the engine will have suffciant sufficient power to charge batteries and fly the aircraft. | |
