Interesting results.  I'm going to have to try the same with my HC-1.  I've reset a good number of times in the past due to testing beta software (some bugs that I found locked up the controller), and I've never done the discharge/charge cycle like Ring outlined.  All this time I've been assuming my controller has been showing the right battery status, but I don't think that it is.  I'll the 3-yr old HC-1 gets a good 8 hours of battery life as well once properly calibrated.

It will be interesting to see how your "testing" goes this weekend Bill!  Have lots of fun!

Billy,

Were you able to do that "op 'till it stops" session to see how long
the HC-2 lasted on a full charge while being operated?

Cheers,

Tim

I have not yet done so. Been too busy with lighting!

William Brillinger:
I still have not had an opportunity to "Op Till it Drops" but what I have done is this:

I held an op session on Saturday with 2 HC2's.
We started at full charge.
We ran them for almost 7 hours.
I put one of the throttles on the charger so I would have one to program with.
The other I left off the charger.

I had another op session yesterday with my nephew.
Using the uncharged throttle, we started on 1 bar.
We ran for about 3.5 hours.
The throttle is still showing 1 bar this morning.

Amazing!

I'll see how long it still takes to drain it this weekend.
