Spektrum DX5 Rugged / DX5 Pro - Battery Status

[Senton_Prime]

Yes, the ESC which has two connectors IC5 does not display any data, so I did not try in the second connector and I did not try 2x 3S Batteries. I have them so I can try them, however it is still strange, it should work no matter what battery it is...

What!?

I don’t run spektrum batteries and it will still show me total ESC voltage/data, not quite understanding your problem.

Can you not see this telemetry screen?

 

[Senton_Prime]

You need the spektrum lipos to see the telemetry

See how your battery is empty, you have no lipo telemetry

I see 23.1V, what else is a battery bar going to tell me?

That's the voltage to your motor.. not the same

The displayed voltage is the Lipo voltage.
SMART Lipo would also fill up the fancy bar graph right above the number, and I believe has a screen with individual cell voltages. (Not worth the extra money imho)

Oh, I run much better batteries and know all cells are exactly storage charged ATM

Has nothing to do with battery type etc. It works. The only thing you need is ESC/Receiver and transmitter, which you have.
Did you actually set up telemetry on your transmitter for this model? Bet you didn't.
Simply go into the telemetry menu on your DX5 and do an auto-config or manual setup.

Should work now.
Needs to be done for every receiver you bind.

I've suspected all along that it was just (bad) the battery plugging in... I could describe it at length instead of showing a picture. It's just the way it is, I tested it a few times before I answered...

Thank you for your expert help....
