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
