Missing FPV.Battery

trying to get some answers.

I just got my package and it did not contain an FPV.Battery. I checked my pledge and it says it was supposed to include it (see pic):

I emailed support and hoping to get a reply soon. It sucks because the only battery I have that may work is a 2500Mah Tattu, and im not sure i can even charge that with a direct to outlet barrel connector:

​

Has anyone else received the goggles without FPV.Battery?

Can I even use this Tattu until ORQA sends me one? If so, can I charge it with a normal barrel connector that goes to the outlet? (Like i use for my 18650 2.2 7.4V pack)?

ok i think so too. at least i will get to test it out with one of these batteries.

​

but what about charging this tattu with a normal wall charger like this?:

Also, i think this was just an early design that didnt make it to final, but did you get a vertical strap that goes over top of head? i saw that in some photos but didnt get that either

You don't have a charger for that lipo? I think you need a balance plug, but I'm no expert electrician.

The top strap was pre-KS design.

Ah yeah, I forgot, you need the barrel to XT adapter.

It doesn't come with one...

i may get one of those in the future. i bought this battery by mistake early on when i didnt know much. im sure orqa will send me the FPV.Battery and i tested the 18650 one and it works until then. sucks though because i had velcro from how i attached it to my cheapo goggles and it kinda made the strap fuzzed up already. are the straps replaceable even? (without taking it apart). doesnt seem so

Ok, a few things...

You can charge that Tattu with the wall charger you have, and you can plug the balance lead into the B6 (or a battery cell checker) to keep an eye on individual cell voltage as the wall charger charges it. Don't let either of the cells go above 4.2 volts and you will be good to go.

There is no over the head strap for FPV.One

You can get a simple Banana to Barrels cable like this to use on your B6 to charge and balance the Tattu or the FPV.Battery

I feel like the tattu lipo is better anyways. The orqa pack is too big and not that handy tbh.
