"Well I hooked up a power analyzer and took off (with a 7 lb. payload in addition to the craft, for a total AUW of about 12 pounds) with these "max" results:
1517 Watts Peak
6.6 Watt Hours
1143 Amps Peak
445 Amp hours
...but I don't know how to…"

"Thanks for the reply.
Flight time with no “additional payload” is about 8 minutes, with the red-blinking light on almost from the first 10 seconds.
Do you think the 10C discharge rate is an issue? I suppose not, because while it might reflect a…"

"Well, flew just now and one flight (WITH full load of 12 lbs AUW) lasted just 3 minutes and the other about just 2 minutes before the drone landed itself. Not good. The red blinking warning light came on almost immediately on take-off.

"Dear Justin,
Thanks for the continued assistance here.
First, to your points: Yes, the voltage shows 16.8 when fully charged. I can't figure any way to test the mAh inside (maybe don't know my multimeter well). I have not attached a power…"

"Ah.. second correction on my part. I was measuring some "spares" in a kit bag. The actual ones on the x8 are, as you suggest they should be, 12".
And the mounting on the X8 is as follows: All 4 on the top rotate CCW and all four on the…"

"Thanks.
First a correction on my part: the battery is a Multistar 14.8 volt 16000 10c
Other details: 8 motors are T-Motor MT2814 KV 770 the props are 8" APC ones with a 4.5 pitch The payload, including batteries, etc. (AUW?) is 10 lbs.…"

"Likewise, I am getting a red-blinking warning light after 30 seconds of flight time on either of the batteries I use.
I am thinking we both have a payload-strain issue where the discharge we are asking of the batteries is just too great. Heavier…"

Trying to get some opinions on the best way to test performance of my Multistar 14.8v 10c 16,000 mAp battery.When I fly my drone (designed for a 24 pound max lift) with 10 pounds, the red-blinking warning light on the drone's DJI controller starts…
"Perhaps I should have posted this in a new thread...Related question about the Multistar 14.8 volt 10000 10c batteries which I am also using on my x8: With a 10 pound payload, and with motors and props that calculate the max lift should be 21…"
