Ions or Polymers for RX pack

[Garrett Morrison]

Peter, most of the powered aircraft are using the Li-ion for onboard batteries.  The Li-poly are mainly used for motor power in the electric scene.  I do have a few friends using the li-polys for onboard with out problems though.
If you visit www.fromeco.org they have the best prices on li-ion packs I have seen.  They are a great company and will take care of you for the entire time of your packs.  I run the 2,400 mah 2 cell in my skyline and never needed to quick charge at the field.  You should be well over 12 flights with a normal setup.  I think the 2,400 mah li-ion is only $27.00.  You will also need a regulator.  I have been flying the li-ion packs for 4 years now and it would be very hard to change me back to the nicad nimh type of packs.

  Hi all,

   

  I have decided to switch to this lithium battery technology for my F3A models mainly for increased flight time.

   

  My typical flying day consists of 6-8 flights. I run digitals all round and I am currently using a 1500 Mah NiCad pack.

   

  I want to avoid fast charging at some stage during my session.

   

  What is the recommendation between these 2 technologies? What is the more reliable of the two for this application? 

   

  Thanks

   

  Peter
