Typhoon RS-V1.2
INTRODUCTION
Typhoon H is an advanced aerial photography and videography platform, perfect
for skilled pilots and photographers alike. It offers up to 25 minutes of
flight time while filming with the CGO3+ 4K-resolution camera. Settings can be
freely and remotely adjusted through the ST16 Personal Ground Station, an easy
and intuitive remote controller which features a 7-inch Android touchscreen
that displays live footage of your flight. To meet different needs for
function and portability, Typhoon H has two configurations: the professional
version with Intel RealSense, equipped with a portable backpack, and the
advanced version with Sonar Collision Avoidance, which features an upgrade
path to the professional version with the purchase of
a RealSense module, sold separately. Typhoon H with Intel ® RealSense ™
technology builds a 3D model of the world. The Intel ® RealSense ™ module
provides high quality depth to the host system and enables the dr one to mak e
intelligent choices about cr eating routes around obstacles.
OVERVIEW
SPECIFICATIONS
PLACEMENT BEFORE TAKE OFF
IMPORTENT NOTE: STEP BACK APPROXIMATELY 26 FEET (8 METERS) BEHIND THE Typhoon H.
NOTICE: Pilots are recommended to take off the aircraft under Angle Mode. If the pilot takes off the aircraft under Smart Mode, make sure to keep the air craft 32.8ft (10m) away fr om the pilot.
NOTICE: For the best performance, the 5.8GHZ patch antenna should be pointed to the air craft for better performance.
CHARGING
Power the SC4000-4 charger from a 100-240V AC outlet using the AC adapter/power supply, or from a 12V-16.8V DC accessory socket/cigarette lighter receptacle in a vehicle using the included adapter. Plug the aircraft battery into the char ger port as illustrated. A green blinking LED indicates the charger is powered on and ready to charge, and a red blinking LED indicates the battery is charging. It will take approximately 2.5 hours to charge a fully discharged (not over-discharged) battery. A solid green LED indicates the battery is fully char ged.
WARNING: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling of Li- ion/LiPo batteries can result in fire.
FOR THE ST16 GROUND STATION
You can charge the ST16 battery by using supplied USB cable and inserting it
into the USB port on the charger. It will take approximately 5 hours to charge
a fully discharged (not over-discharged) battery.
WARNING: Do not leave the battery in the charger after the battery is fully charged.
ASSEMBLY
STEP 1: ASSEMBLING THE ARMS Unfold the motor arms and secure them until hearing a ‘click’.
NOTICE: Press the ‘PRESS’ button to fold the motor arms.
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE PROPELLERS
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE FLIGHT BATTERIES
Push the battery into the battery compartment with the Yuneec logo facing
upwards until hearing a ‘click’, which means the battery is installed
successfully.
NOTICE: Gently open the battery cap to the maximum degree (to a position where is almost horizontal with the GPS cover), then you can pull the battery out.
STEP 4: REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COVER AND INSERT THE SD CARD
Carefully remove the protective cover from the camera lens. Insert the
included 16GB card or any Class 10 microSD card (U3 speed capable of 4K data
rates) from 16GB to 128GB.
POWERING ON / OFF
NOTE: ALWAYS turn on the ST16 Ground Station and allow it to boot up BEFORE turning Typhoon H on (and ALWAYS turn Typhoon H off BEFORE turning off the ST16 Ground Station).
Place Typhoon H on a level and stable surface then power on the ST16 Ground Station. Press and hold power button on Typhoon H. Release the button when the aircraft emits a rising tune. DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE THE Typhoon H UNTIL THE INITIALIZATION PROCESS IS COMPLETE. The gimbal camera will spin to the front position.
NOTICE: If the main LED blinks red slowly, the initialization has failed. The aircraft needs to be powered on again. To power off the aircraft, press and hold the power button until the aircraft emits a falling tune.
NOTICE: After hearing a rising tune, the main LED indicator will blink green for 1 to 2 seconds once with flight battery fully charged, yellow with half charged and red with low voltage.
STARTING/STOPPING THE MOTORS
NOTICE: Only with sustainable GPS or IPS activated or GPS being turned off, the motors can be started or stopped by pressing the START/STOP button.
NOTICE: After the GPS is turned off, IPS will be turned off automatically
and the
indoor positioning function will be disabled.
OPTION 1
Press and hold the START / STOP button for about 3 seconds to start, and about
2 seconds
to stop the motors. Step back approximately 26 feet (8 meters) behind Typhoon
H, make sure the ST16 Ground Station is in the Angle mode. When there is
suitable GPS signal for both the ST16 Ground Station and Typhoon H, or IPS for
the aircraft, you can start the motors.
OPTION 2
With the GPS of both the aircraft and the ST16 Ground Station locked, the
pilot can select Camera/Task switch icon, and tap the Take Off on the task
row. Make sure the pilot is more than 5 meters away from the aircraft and then
slide the icon on the screen, the aircraft will take off and hover at default
height.
FLIGHT CONTROLS (SINGLE MODE)
To take off, slowly raise the left-hand stick to above the center position. Typhoon H will take off and climb slowly (or raise the stick further until it does). Allow the stick to return to the center position when Typhoon H reaches the desired altitude.
FLYING (OBS AVOID OFF)
Take your time learning how Typhoon H responds to various control inputs while
flying. In Smart Mode, Typhoon H will always move in the direction the right-
hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the
front/nose is pointed. In Angle (Pilot) Mode, Typhoon H will move in the
direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the
aircraft (and the ‘angle’ of movement is determined by how far you push the
stick away from the center position).
FLYING (OBS AVIOD ON)
In the smart mode ,the TYPHOON H will always move in the direction the right-
hand control stick is pushed. The TYPHOON H will turn its nose in accord with
the direction it will fly first, then move forward in the direction. The
aircraft will avoid obstacles automatically and then fly according to the
remote control.
In Angle mode, the aircraft will stop in front of the obstacle.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If at any time during flight you feel like Typhoon H is drifting out of/beyond your control, simply release both control sticks. Typhoon H will automatically self-level and will even hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock and OBS AVOID off) when both control sticks are centered. You can also activate Home Mode and Typhoon H will automatically fly itself back to the home point and lands.
LANDING – There are two ways to land Typhoon H:
- Position Typhoon H above the area where you would like to land. Slowly lower the left-hand stick to below the center position. Typhoon H will descend slowly and land. After Typhoon H lands, press and hold the START/STOP button until the motor stops.
NOTICE: It is recommended to turn off the Obstacle Avoidance when landing.
- Activate Home Mode and Typhoon H will automatically fly itself back to the home point and land.
NOTICE: After the copter takes off, the pilot can retract the landing gear by switching up the Landing Gear Switch on the top right side of the ST16 Ground Station. Make sure to flip the switch to the downward position when landing.
NOTICE: During the landing phase of the RTH you can fine tune the landing location. As the aircraft nears the ground refrain from touching the direction controls as this can cause the aircraft to tip over.
WARNING: Always land as soon as possible after the first low level voltage battery warning, or land immediately after the second level low voltage battery warning (as indicated by the vibrations and audible alerts from the ST16 Ground Station, and by the Motor LED Status Indicators flashing rapidly). If at any time the Aircraft Battery Voltage shown on the screen is below 14.1V, land Typhoon H immediately.
NOTICE: When the aircraft gives the first-level low voltage warning, it will exit the TASK mode and the functions under the TASK mode won’t be activated.
AFTER LANDING
NOTICE: When the landing gear is lowered down with OBS Switch on, the
TYPHOON H can’t fly back in front of the obstacle. When the obstacle moves
towards the TYPHOON H, the aircraft won’t fly back automatically. If the
aircraft is controlled flying towards the obstacle by the pilot, it will stop
in front of the obstacle (when in Angle Mode), or steer clear of the obstacle
(when in Smart Mode).
ALWAYS turn off Typhoon H BEFORE turning off the ST16 Ground Station. Then
remove the battery from Typhoon H and allow it to cool to ambient/room
temperature before recharging.
NOTICE: If the signal of the remote control is lost, Typhoon H will automatically return to the home point and hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) over the home position (except for low battery).
PROPORTIONAL CONTROL RATE SLIDER
The Proportional Control Rate Slider located on the right side of the ST16
Ground Station allows you to set the overall climb/descend and directional
control rates. Use the turtle position for the lowest control rates (best for
first-time pilots and required when flying between 5000 feet and 8000 feet
Above Mean Sea Level), and use the rabbit position for the highest control
rates (best for experienced pilots and can only be used when flying below 5000
feet MSL). Or use a position in between if you prefer.
FLIGHT MODES
The ST16 Ground Station is equipped with 3 different flight modes which can be
selected by using the mode switch in the top right corner above the right
joystick.
SMART MODE
When the Flight Mode selection switch is in the top position Typhoon H will be in Smart Mode. Although we recommend learning to fly Typhoon H in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for beginning pilots to fly in and also features ‘Follow Me’. In Smart Mode (with OBS AVOID OFF) Typhoon H will always move in the direction the right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the front/nose is pointed. So if you push the stick to the left, Typhoon H will always move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointing and even if it’s spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode.
NOTICE: In smart mode (with OBS AVOID on), the Typhoon H will always move in the direction the right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot. The TYPHOON H will turn its nose in accord with the direction it will fly first, then move forward in the direction. The aircraft will avoid obstacles automatically and then fly according to the remote control.
ADDITIONAL SMART MODE FEATURES
FOLLOW ME
The Follow Me function allows Typhoon H to follow the pilot, adjusting its
location to the location of the ST16 Ground Station. This function is enabled
when ST16’s GPS positioning completes, and Typhoon H is using shared GPS
signal with the ST16 Ground Station. When Follow Me is activated, the
background of the ‘Follow’ character will be red and the icon of Follow [ ]
will be highlighted in white. Typhoon H will follow the movement of ST16
Ground Station if there is no extra operation on the ST16 Ground Station. The
flight status is also controllable when you operate the ST16 and CGO3+.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After switching on OBS AVOID in Follow Me/Watch Me, the TYPHOON H will steer clear of the obstacle while following the pilot. The distance between the pilot and the aircraft might be farther result from the obstacle.
SMART CIRCLE
In most cases the Smart Circle will keep Typhoon H from coming within
approximately
26 feet (8 meters) of you (as long as you position yourself at least 26
feet/8 meters behind Typhoon H.
GEO-FENCE
The geo-fence is a virtual barrier that will keep Typhoon H from traveling
farther
than 300 feet (91 meters). The geo-fence only works in Smart Mode. Although
this limit can be adjusted using the GUI we strongly recommend using the
default limit at all times.
WARNING: Smart Mode only works when Typhoon H has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If you are flying in Smart Mode and Typhoon H loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control Typhoon H in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under
warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the ST16 Ground Station is connected to less than 6
satellites, the ‘FOLLOW ME’ feature will be disabled.
NOTICE: If the landing gear is not lowered down in Smart and Angle modes during landing, the aircraft can’t descent less than 6.6 feet (2 meters) from the ground.
NOTICE: When turning off the Realsense, the maximum speed of the TYPHOON H should be less than 37.3MPH. When turning on the Realsense, the maximum speed should be less than 11.2 MPH.
ANGLE MODE
When the Flight Mode selection switch is the middle position, Typhoon H will
be in Angle Mode, also known as in Pilot Mode. Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode
preferred by experienced RC/drone pilots because Typhoon H will move in the
direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the
aircraft. So if you push the right-hand stick to the left Typhoon H will bank
toward the left side and move to the left. This means if the front/nose of
Typhoon H is pointing away from you it will move to the left, but if the
front/nose is pointing at you Typhoon H will move to the right.
NOTICE: When in the Angle Mode, the aircraft will stop in front of the obstacle with realsense activated.
*ADDITIONAL ANGLE (PILOT) MODE FEATURE:
The Typhoon H will automatically hold its position (with a suitable GPS
signal/lock) and maintain a level attitude when the both joysticks are
centered.
WARNING: If you do not properly control Typhoon H in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under warranty.
OBSTACLE AVOID Switch
With sustainable GPS locked, the realsense can be activated in any mode by
being switched on except for the condition that the copter descend vertically
at low speed with landing gear down. When the realsense is activated, the
front motor LEDs will blink white and the icon on the ST16 screen will be
solid green. If the OBSTACLE AVOID is switched on, but the function can’t be
activated, then the icon will be yellow.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The environment requirement such as flight track might change depending on the situation. Only when the icon on the ST16 screen is solid green, it means the OBSTACLE AVOID function is activated.
NOTICE: The realsense can only detect the front obstacles, but can’t
detect the lateral
and rear obstacles.
NOTICE: The speed of the aircraft will be limited with realsense
activated.
NOTICE: For the most up-to-date information of OBSTACLE AVOID, please
visit the
corresponding product page at www.Yuneec.com or contact the nearest Yuneec
office or authorized distributor.
NOTICE: It is recommended to turn off Obstacle Avoid when landing. If the
landing gear is
lowed down, the aircraft won’t recede in angle mode when the realsense detect
the obstacle.
INDOOR POSITIONING SYSTEM
In Angle Mode, the TYPHOON H will automatically activate the IPS or not. When
GPS can’t be locked, if the flight control activate the IPS, the Main LED
indicator of the aircraft will be solid purple, and the GPS will display being
searching on the Remote control, which indicates IPS is activated
automatically. At the same time, the aircraft can’t be switched to Smart Mode,
Home Mode, Task Mode and OBS AVOID, ONLY remain in Angle Mode even if
switching the mode switch. When using IPS to lock the position of the
aircraft, TYPHOON H can also hover at its current altitude automatically. The
IPS is most suitable for indoor flight or without GPS locked.
NOTICE: When flying in door with IPS activated, the pilot should be cautious and not to fly too fast.
NOTICE: When using IPS without GPS locked, make sure that the indoor illumination is sufficient. The IPS may not be able to position when the aircraft is flying over highly reflective surfaces or over highly repeated surface texture (such as the same color).
HOME MODE
When the Flight Mode selection switch is in the bottom position, Typhoon H
will be in Home (also known as Return to Home) Mode.
In Home Mode the GPS connectivity will fly back Typhoon H in a straight line
in the direction of the pilots’ current location, and automatically land
within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the pilot. This can be very helpful for beginning
pilots who aren’t quite ready to land Typhoon H themselves. It can also be
helpful for pilots that lose orientation during flight. Simply activate Home
Mode until Typhoon H automatically moves toward the home position, and once
you’ve confirmed orientation switch back to Angle (Pilot) Mode. If Typhoon H
ever loses the link with the ST16
Ground Station it will automatically enter Home Mode.
NOTICE: If the signal of remote control is lost, Typhoon H will automatically return to home point and hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) over the home position except for low battery.
NOTICE: If switching on OBS AVOID in Home Mode, the TYPHOON H will avoid the obstacle during home mode. The flight speed (only for RealSense Version) will be limited.
Before switching to Home Mode, press the Setting Calibration button on the right task column. Select Home Altitude and set a height as the desired altitude, and then Home Mode can be activated. The flight path is as follows:
REAL SENSE TURNED OFF
- When the flight height of the aircraft is lower than the desired altitude, it will climb to the desired altitude vertically first, then fly back at the current height and descend vertically within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the pilot until it lands automatically.
- When the flight height of the aircraft is higher than the desired altitude, it will fly back at the current height, then descend vertically within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the pilot until it lands automatically.
REAL SENSE TURNED ON
- When the flight height of the aircraft is lower than the desired altitude, the aircraft will climb to the desired altitude, meanwhile, it will fly back to the home point, and then descend vertically within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the pilot until it lands automatically.
- When the flight height of the aircraft is higher than the desired altitude, the aircraft will descend to the desired altitude, meanwhile, it will fly back to the home point, and then descend vertically within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the pilot until it lands automatically.
NOTICE: The default home altitude is 20m (65.6ft). But after the home altitude is reset, the latest data will be saved as the new default home altitude.
NOTICE: Users can control pitch, roll and yaw directions during descent.
NOTICE: After the Home Mode is activated, the aircraft will point its
nose to the home
point automatically. After the aircraft arrives home point and begins to
descend, it will turn
its tail pointing to the pilot.
CAUTION: With OBS. AOID switched off, you must be certain there are no
obstacles in the
‘Return to Home’ flight path otherwise Typhoon H may come into contact with
them and crash. While Typhoon H is in Home Mode you will have a limited amount
of directional control. To help avoid obstacles we strongly recommend
switching to Smart or Angle Mode (then you can switch back to Home Mode).
WARNING: Home Mode only works when Typhoon H has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If Typhoon loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control Typhoon H in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS:
TASK MODES
Tap the TASK/CAMERA icon, the background of ‘TASK’ will become orange, then
you will enter another interface displaying functions: CCC (Curve Cable Cam),
Journey, POI (Point of Interest), ORBIT ME and TAKE OFF.
CCC: (Curve Cable Cam) Curve Cable Cam allows you to create an invisible route for Typhoon H to fly along. Once the pilot sets the point, Typhoon H will fly the set coordinates while remembering the heading.
If the PAN mode of the gimbal camera is switched to Follow and Follow Pan Controllable modes, the gimbal TILT angle will be adjusted as the same as the angle what the gimbal camera is at each waypoint after the pilot set the waypoints automatically and continuously. When the PAN mode is switched to the Global Mode, the PAN and TILT angle can be controlled by aileron and elevator stick.

In the video recording mode, picture taking (Button A) is accessible. The resolution is set by the video resolution. In this mode, you will capture still photos.
GPS FUNCTIONALITY
When flying outdoor, Typhoon H requires a suitable GPS signal/lock in order to
start the motors and to be flown. please operated in open areas that are free
from people, vehicles and other obstructions. In order to acquire a suitable
GPS signal/lock it’s critical that the GPS antenna installed in the top of
Typhoon H always have a clear view of the sky (100° minimum clearance
required).
NOTICE: if the flight control activate the IPS indoor, the Main LED indicator of the aircraft will be solid purple, then you can start the motors.
NOTICE: When using IPS without GPS locked, make sure that the indoor illumination is sufficient. The IPS may not function well when the aircraft is flying over highly reflective surfaces or over highly repeated surface texture (such as the same color).
NOTICE: When flying indoor with IPS, OBS Avoid, Smart Mode and Home Mode are disabled.
WARNING: When using GPS outdoor, do NOT attempt to fly near or between
tall buildings/ obstructions, near or under dense vegetation structures. Do
NOT attempt to fly in any location known to have poor GPS coverage. Do NOT
disable/turn off GPS unless you’re able to
properly control Typhoon H in Angle (Pilot) Mode without GPS or IPS assistance
and accept ALL responsibility and liability for crashes or ‘fly aways’. If the
Typhoon loses GPS signal/lock while flying high in the sky it can only be
flown in Angle (Pilot) Mode, Smart Mode, OBS AVOID and Home Mode, along with
their corresponding features, will no longer work. The Main LED Status
Indicator will flash purple and the LED Status Indicators below the motors
will flash three times per second then will stay off for one (1) second when
the Typhoon loses GPS signal/lock (or if GPS has been disabled/ turned of f).
If the GPS signal/lock is reacquired (after receiving 5–10 seconds of suitable
GPS signal), Smart Mode and Home Mode will work again.
WARNING: Loss of GPS signal/lock may result in a crash or even a ‘fly away’ . IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under warranty.
NO-FLY ZONES
With a suitable GPS signal/lock it will not be possible to start the motors,
takeoff or fly Typhoon H in the ‘No-Fly Zones’ within a 4 mile (6.4 kilometer)
radius of most major airports.
NOTICE: If the aircraft flies near the ground and lost GPS signal, the IPS may assist aircraft to fly. After IPS is on, the LED will be solid purple, and OBS AVOID, Smart Mode and Home Mode are disabled.
DISABLING GPS
WARNING: Smart Mode and Home Mode, along with their corresponding features,
only work when GPS is active and Typhoon H has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If
you disable/turn off GPS, Typhoon H can only be flown in Angle (Pilot) Mode.
If you cannot properly control the Typhoon in Angle (Pilot) Mode, the aircraft
may crash or even ‘fly away’.

LIPO BATTERY WARNINGS AND USAGE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery you assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase immediately.
-
You must always charge the LiPo battery in a safe, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials.
-
Never charge the LiPo battery unattended at any time. When charging the battery you must always remain in constant observation to monitor the charging
process and react immediately to any potential problems that may occur. -
After flying/discharging the LiPo battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.
-
To charge the LiPo battery you must use only the included charger or a suitably compatible LiPo battery charger. Failure to do so may result in a fire causing
property damage and/or serious injury. -
If at any time the LiPo battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely.
-
Do not over-discharge the LiPo battery. Discharging the battery too low can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power, flight duration or failure of the battery entirely. LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load.
-
Store the LiPo battery at room temperature and in a dry area for best results.
-
When charging, transporting or temporarily storing the LiPo battery the temperature range should be from approximately 40–120° F (5–49° C). Do not
store the battery or aircraft in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire. -
Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies unattended during use.
-
Never attempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet batteries.
-
Never allow children under 14 years of age to charge batteries.
-
Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or shorted.
-
Never attempt to disassemble the battery, charger or power supply.
-
Never drop batteries, chargers or power supplies.
-
Always inspect the battery, charger and power supply before charging.
-
Always ensure correct polarity before connecting batteries, chargers and power supplies.
-
Always disconnect the battery after charging.
-
Always terminate all processes if the battery, charger or power supply malfunctions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s safer and better for the longevity of the battery to store it only partially charged for any length of time. Storing the battery approximately 50% charged is typically best, however, it will take some careful management of the charge time and the use of a volt meter to achieve this voltage. If you have the equipment and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for storage it is recommended. If not, simply be sure to not store the battery fully charged whenever possible.
In fact, as long as the battery will be stored at approximately room temperature and for no more than a few weeks before the next use, it may be best to store the battery in the discharged state after the last flight (as long as the battery was not over-discharged on the last flight).
