In most cases, Li-po batteries can be discharged down to 3.5 or even 3.3v.
That is already edging the limit of the HDZero Whoop Lite VTX (which tends tocompletely brownout below 2.8Vand willnotrestart unlesspower-cycled)
But even more so onLi-ionbuilds whose batteries can be dischargeddown to 2.5v All while showinghigher voltage sagunder load, which canturn off your videounder theslightest punchoutpast mid-battery capacity
Fractal Engineering selected the best-suited power IC for their specific 1S need and found this outstanding chip, boasting impressive specs that fit exactly the use case.
They then designed the circuit around it from the most reputable component manufacturers,and out came this remarkably capable piece of gear that can definitely be trusted to supply consistent, reliable power all the way through 1S batteries.
Successor of the Boostyboi, the Boostybaby retains all of the performance in a now much smaller footprint, less than half the size and weight, at not even 0.4g! This makesit a viable option to add reliable video to any 1S digital or high power video build, from nano long range to tiny whoops.
It also retains the remote disable pad added in the BB Rev-02, allowing you to switch off the output from the FC when pulled to ground.That will allow you to turn off the connected VTX remotely, from your radio, whether be it to save battery, cool it down or simply reboot it in the event it got wonky. To use it, I suggest remapping vtx power resource in Quicksilver to your Buzzer pad, and wire it to the /EN pad.
