How long does the battery last?
the last flight only lasted 14 minutes to 20%.
When I charge the batteries with the hubsan charger, 13v is charged, but there is always a cell that charges more. 1s 4'30, 2s 4'32, 3s 4'38

The supplied charger is not a quality charger so I have upgraded to imax B6AV V2 to support the LIHV batteries my V1 does not
. An LIHV should be 4.35v per cell.

Mine initially lasted less like 14 minutes. But after several flights it's lasting longer, getting 19 min from 100 to 30%. Using zino charger.

I'm waiting for the imax b6 to arrive.
but you have to make a mod to charge the Zino battery.
have you made the cable?

It normally takes 3 - 5 charge and discharge cycles for a LIPO to reach it's full potential then after about 100-150 cycles it will start to lose potential.

The maximum time in my zino has been 17 minutes. It also happened to me twice that charging the battery, about 2 and a half hours, indicates that it is charged with its green lights and then when connected it appears 80%. It would be good for a drone of this style, leaving the factory with two batteries and a good charger since a battery is too little to enjoy. If you update the charged to better, reliable charging and two outputs for two batteries I buy it for sure
