    I have a Starling 2 Max GPS-denied Development Drone. I have 4 batteries. I plugged in two of them and the drone powered on.

    It also came with an AC Adapter and the instructions on how to plug into drone make sense. The issue is that it also comes with a warning, "DO NOT ARM DRONE WHILE XT30 JUMPER OR POWER SUPPLY IS IN USE. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL LIKELY RESULT IN DAMAGED HARDWARE. COULD RESULT IN FIRE"

    What do you mean by "Armed". When I plug in the batteries the drone turns on. I assume that means when I plug in the power supply it will also turn on. Does that mean it is Armed?

      @Michael-Hatton When you arm the drone it is in flight mode and the motors start to spin. It's that spinning of the motors that you don't want while plugged into a power supply. Only use your battery to actually spin the motors and fly.
