How fast does Charge Mode actually charge? (The mode that charges the battery with the gas engine while idle/driving). Intending to use it for HVAC overnight in EV mode.

I'm mostly trying to EV mode camp, keeping the HVAC on overnight without the gas kicking on after it's charged for the night, but was wondering how long it takes for Charge Mode to actually fill the battery up. Thanks!

stock HDZero M8 won't throttle down during dives?

Hey, having an issue with a bone stock HDZ M8, it won't throttle down during dives or descents so I end up wresting with it to get it back to the ground. It feels like a PID tuning problem but since it's bone stock that would be odd for HDZ's normal QC. After 4 flights like that I swapped that AIO15 with an identical new one thinking it was a bad gyro or ESC then RMA the bad one, but nope, identical behavior. I didn't touch anything in betaflight on either quad besides setting my modes and reversing the motors after the swap. It flies oook otherwise, a little jittery since the issue is consistent during any decent that would result in any degree of prop wash. Flew in an open field and also a parking garage so it isn't just wind or ground effect, though wind makes it unflyable and I have to tilt it 90* in an uncontrolled decent to try to get it back home. Same behavior on a RM Pocket and RM Boxer, don't have this behavior with other drones I'm flying.

Anyone else having this issue? It feels like a PID issue but since again it's bone stock from HDZ that feels odd. Thanks

Adding a second 12v battery?

Was wondering if anyone had any experience adding a second 12-volt battery to their car, and how much it reduced the engine kicking on to recharge the hybrid battery to charge the 12-volt batteries. Thanks in advance, any insight welcome

Hey, I recently was giving someone some encouragement and ended up fumbling through retelling a old clip from steam when Cheeto was very sick and needed IV therapy.

Wubby talked though how he didn't think he could handle the IVs, but when told by the vet the alternative was Cheeto passing (i think from kidney failure) he said something to the effect of "Well then, i guess i *can* do it".

If it's helpful to find the clip, he also talked about how Cheeto was embarrassed or "Cheeto knew something was wrong" since he was peeing all over the house. I don't recall much else, only that i'd be at least 4 or 5 years ago and within a few days of Cheeto being deathly ill. Thanks much!

edit: looking for the clip of wubby saying 'well then, i guess i *can* do it' but if you know the vod or even date range that'd be helpful thanks
