- A How to video on modifying your FLYSKY transmitter to accept a 2s lipo battery.
I am using 2 Samsung 960mah lipo batteries in series and can get 6-7 hours on a flight simulator.

If anyone is worried about the high voltage - Just add a couple of big diodes in series with the battery, that should take down the voltage around 0.5V per diode.
I just use rechargable AA batteries, I have no problem with that, the AA's seem to last long enough for me between charges, I have Spares to swap when needed, works for me without having another extra lipo to charge.
Your option is perfect! I didn't think about it before, but you are right. A battery indicator will work too, i will be able to see the level of charging in this way. If I use LiPO pack and voltage regulator, i will not be able to control the voltage level and RX will shut down suddenly
I'm not going to do this because I'm not so sure this tx can stand the higher voltage. I used an external voltage regulator to bring he 2s voltage down to 6v.
I tried with 2 lithium batteries 7.6v and when I powed on nothing came on. Removed the lithium batteries and replaced the regular batteries and nothing came on. Thanks to helping me messing up my FS 😆
Now I have to replace the voltage regulator
I'm sorry that happened to you. First time have heard of it happening. Could you have hooked Negative to the positive? Dummy me Did it once testing and that instant fry's it.
No sir. I have not connected wrong. I have been working on electronics for several year so I know what’s up. But it’s Ok. I guess it was the voltage regulator transistor that probably was not good quality or something. But it’s fixed
@@saulito85 Mistakes can happen, Even to the best of us, Glad you got it figured out =D.
Oh yeah I know, I had made that kind of mistakes many times but this time I did not. Peace✌🏼
Some of them will not work after doing this
To run a 2s lipo/ li-ion pack you have to check the voltage regulators in the flysky fsi6/X. Some regulator can only handle up to 7v before overheating and burning out. A heat sink can prevent this but it is better to change out the voltage regulators with better ones.
voltage regulators on TX-board?? integrated in a chip?
@@_Danilo_L. I can't remember exactly what I was talking about. In many other electronic components the capacitors will be what limits the voltage supplied.
My flysky fs i6x dead after i try lipo 2s without stepdown modul. When i check the board, i get the IC very hot. Anybody help me?
If you are using it with a simulator would it work if you also put a usb plug on it? 5v instead of 6v but maybe enough?
Nup
Yes I did it
What type baterry you used
Hi there, I was told that over 7.4 it will burn it. So, using a 2S = 8.4 Volts will work fine? Thanks
Thanks for your question, I Have not had an issue running 8.4 volts with my fs-i6/x the only thing is it will shut down at 6. Something volts. I hope that helps
-FPV Pro
FPV Pro thanks
Life time ??
@@sandersapps why it would shutdown at 6. Something volts . It shouldn't shutdown till 4 volts . That should be the case . That means the high voltage has burned up something .

Protected cells. Most phone batteries have very small protection boards built in.
hello, I liked the post but I think the voltage is high for the radio I have an FS-i6x I'm going to use two 14500 3.7v batteries but I'm going to use a small voltage regulator to lower it to 6v, it's safer! I liked the video the most !! answered some questions, does anyone here have the data sheet for the main board of this radio?
Hey! I was about to do the same with my flysky as well ahaha...how did yours work out? mind sharing some pictures?
Is the battery connected directly to the board? or through BEC?
8.4 volts shows voltage?
Thank you for your question. Its connected directly to the board. I just removed the original wires to the battery pack on the controller. I run 8v all the time since I did this mod.
@@sandersapps FLYSKY I6X correctly displays the battery voltage on the screen?
Sorry I should have added that, yes the battery voltage shows correctly on the screen.
The batteries are in series or parallel
The two batteries are hooked up in series. Best of luck :)
cool that you recycle...use it till it aint useable!!!
🤔so it can handle 8.4volts 😮
I have not had an issue with it running 8.4v and have not heard of anyone having issues running it on 8.4v. I Don't want to say that it will work 100% as the remote was not designed for it. so there is a risk of damaging your remote.
@@sandersapps lol yeah true,i have x2 so ill test on one and see :)
@@sandersapps i was told you get better range at higher voltage.
@Junior Ellis I'm not sure if you get better range with higher voltage, That is a test I would like to try now. Let me know if you run into any problems, it would suck but it would be the first I have heard of. Good luck =)
@@sandersapps FPV Pro i Broke my voltageregulators. They can only handle 6.5v max (Datasheed) But sometimes a little more or less.
So i replaced Mine.
New one:Input: 4-15v ->3.3v 1A
(it only needs about 600mah But bigger is better)
