HobbyWing Platinum V5 Telemetry and Futaba

[davehour]

Hi,

Is the HobbyWing Platinum HV 260A V5 ESC telemetry supported?

Is the battery consumed capacity accurate?

Thanks.

Yes it is supported. Newer models aren't listed yet but telemetry protocol is the same, I'm using the 260A with Spirit GT myself. Consumed capacity is quite accurate on v5 in my experience, but I always set up a voltage alert in addition.

Capacity accuracy depends on how the ESC is loaded. If you will buy ESC with high rating and your model is not able to draw enough current, then accuracy will be bad.
So it is better to not buy too high rating. Same apply for V4, because its current sensor can't measure too low current at all.
