I don’t know how long it has been like this but the technical specifications section for the BlueROV2 currently says that the battery can be recharged “in about 30 seconds”.
Oh, if only it were true.
Hi @psupine,
I agree, it would be amazing if this were true! But unfortunately battery technology hasn’t caught up to our wishes yet.
In actuality, the technical details say: “Batteries can be changed in about 30 seconds”. That is, the process of opening the battery tube, swapping out the battery, and closing the tube can be completed within 30 seconds for most people.
I hope that clarifies things!
Oops - sorry - my bad.
So funny, although easy mistake! Actually wondering why the voltage settings on the H6 PRO charger only match my BR battery (Battery-Li-4s-15.6AH-R1-RP) when I choose LiPo whereas the label on the battery says its a Lithium-Ion battery?
No worries! I can see how it would be very easy to read “charged” instead of “changed”, especially in this context. We’ve changed this to to “swapped” to avoid any confusion in the future.
@BillyBudd Some lithium ion cells have a max voltage of 4.10 V. The cells used in our batteries have a max of 4.20 V, the same as LiPo cells, which is why we use the LiPo charge setting on the H6 Pro. The LiIon charge setting on the H6 Pro will charge only to a max of 4.1 per cell:
You can use the LiIon setting with our batteries, it wont damage anything, but it won’t provide a full charge.

Many Thanks for the advice - I have always used the LiPo setting so the voltage was correct but wasnt entirely sure.
