2xDrone Bebop 2 FPV, Li-Ion Battery 11.1V 2700mAh for Parrot Bebop 2

Product Information

Just like its forerunner, this drone is easy to control and handles well when in the air. Responsiveness is good and the unit is stable enough to operate in relatively blustery conditions – something we were surprised at, considering how light it feels in the hand. In the standard mode it's quite slow – especially when making turns – but Parrot has included a Sports Mode in this year's model which gives it a top speed of around 40 miles per hour. Novices may wish to avoid enabling this feature until they're comfortable with the controls, as the unit is harder to control at high speeds. Performance and battery life Do not be deceived by the false capacity advertisements from bad merchants, of which battery capacity will often drop off significantly after using a few months. Made with the highest quality “A” grade cells, our PARROT BEBOP-2 Battery has passed various strict quality tests to ensure that it meets OEM specifications, which can provide more than 600 charging cycles to maintain the same capacity for a long time. For laptops that work as Desktop Replacement, the battery should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge.

We found that the 25 minutes of flight time that Parrot claim is pretty accurate with this time reduced to more like 20 minutes when filming or taking pictures over a prolonged period of time. The firmware update for the battery came as a surprise to most users since they didn’t expect that batteries need to be updated. But they are intelligent batteries and have their own system. This update process can also help to fix dead batteries. There are two main reasons that could be causing your battery to fail to charge. Your drone battery may not be charging because of:For optimal charging, just connecting the battery to the charger is not enough – there are a few other things to keep in mind. First, use only the Bebop 2’s official charger. It has a feature that ensures the battery is healthy. Also, do not keep a charged battery near flammable material or unattended. Charging a new battery However you are controlling the Bebop 2, it connects using a 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi signal, which is automatically selected to minimize interference. If you are using a tablet and FreeFlight 3, the connection is between the quadcopter and your phone/tablet. If you are using the Skycontroller, there is one Wi-Fi connection between the Bebop and the Skycontroller, and another between Skycontroller and your device. Either way, this means that you have to fiddle with the Wi-Fi settings on your phone/tablet to use, which some users may find confusing. We had no problems maintaining a connection using an iPad alone up to about 100 feet away, although the preview video did get rather glitchy at this distance, making it harder to control The Skycontroller definitely gets the stronger signal, thanks to the huge antenna on the front. Here are some additional tips you can apply once your drone is in the air. They will ensure your battery remains in good shape. A Test Flight

When a battery is new, it’s usually shipped at a charge of about 40%. For the first few times you use the battery, do not completely discharge it. To optimize a battery’s capacity, it’s essential to keep it at its optimum condition. Saying that the Bebop 2 Power offers an hour of flight might be a little disingenuous considering you’ll need to swap out batteries to achieve this time. Nevertheless, up to 30 minutes of flight on a single battery is still an impressive feat. That’s more than double offered by the DJI Spark. It’s a pretty accurate measurement, too, considering that’s 30 minutes measured in ideal flying conditions in video mode. With the international Standard Control from R&D, Manufacturing and test, Our battery for Parrot Bebop-Drone-2 have passed CE, UL, ROHS, ISO9001,QS9000 and TS16949. After flying, do not charge it immediately. You should first let it cool down for some time before charging.

Only use the official charger of the drone company to charge your drone battery. Different chargers charge at different voltages, hence a generic or alternate brand could damage your battery. LiPo batteries aren’t like just any other batteries. They require special care for them to last longer. And one of the ways to maintain them is by discharging them when they’re not in use since they should never be stored with a full charge. As part of our ISO 9001 quality procedure, quality control tests are frequently carried out on all our products.

The Parrot Anafi drone uses a 2S smart battery with a 7.4Voltage that lasts at least 25 minutes, while the Bebop 2 uses a 3S Lipo battery with an 11.1 voltage and a 30-minute flight time. These batteries are quite stable, with minimal issues that can generally be fixed through firmware updates. The weight of your drone is a factor when it comes to any Parrot battery. Heavy drones tend to use more power; hence the battery gets drained faster. Therefore, it would help if you removed any accessories that are not necessary for the flight session. You can either remove the propeller guards or filters. On the other hand, if you conduct a test flight, you can withdraw your camera if you don’t plan to use it. During the Flight A special nod should go to the FreeFlight Pro app, which makes piloting a breeze. It displays useful data intelligently placed around the screen, such as the altitude and distance of the drone from your position. A radar shows both the direction you’re facing and that of the drone, which helps you to keep your bearings – not so easy to do when the drone is a distance away.After using a battery, you will need to recharge it; if it’s still warm, it’s a sign that you should leave it for some time before charging it. If your batteries aren’t charging, we also have a detailed guide on fixing the Parrot Bebop Battery Not Charging issue. Parrot Anafi battery won’t charge One great aspect of the Bebop 2 is how easy it is to take it apart and repair if needed. The propellers all detach easily with a special tool that is supplied and the camera and battery are also very easily accessed. What else should I know? The "Power" element of this drone's name relates to the advertised one hour of flight time – and on paper at least, this makes Parrot's effort a market leader in stamina. However, such boasting is misleading. The Bebop 2 Power does give around 60 minutes of flight time per trip, but that's across not one but two batteries, each rated for around half an hour of flight – dependant on drone activity, wind strength and other factors.
