Li Po Stuff

[Neek]

ok, I am looking to go Lithium polimer...

Is this stuff alright?

Charger:

Battery(maybe x2 at a later stage):
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpec...

Also would be running a mamba max brushless...

Is there anything I need to know about Li Po that the instructions wouldn't tell me?

Thanks a lot

They look ok mate but does the charger come with a compatable balancing lead for those batteries?

Lipos only seems to go wrong if they are overcharged, I've bought a charginf pouch so that if things do go wrong it will contain the explosion.

The batties have the lead on them I think - plugs in the side of the charger

Is Li Po really as good as everyone says it is?


Thanks a lot for you feedback

I'm getting the TP-Bc6 Charger Dual Power designed for LiPo's and the 4900/25C LiPo RC Car Battery, both from http://www.modeltech.co.uk/

The club I will be racing at are using these and they are working perfectly. LiPo is the future for power within the RC arena, come join us

Provided that you use a parallel or balancer charger, an ESC with LiPo cutoff voltages, never exceed the max C charge rate they are very good.

Do note that if you constantly draw somewhere around max current most of the time that you WILL notice that capacity drops after a few hundred cycles.
