[NSRCA-discussion] LiPO Receiver packs

[JShulman]

So far so good. Using the same 730-TP for almost 2 years now in my electric
set-up. basically the battery will just not charge as full as when new when
they start to go. Under servo loads, I don't think one can puff, but
anything could happen. Even then, it doesn't just up and quit.

Conditioning... 1010 with balancer works great. I'm sure you can just get
the 205 balancer and charge with a Triton just as easily, it just won't tell
you individual cell balance status. For batteries like the 730, I use the
TP-425 cause there is no balancer plug. For the 910, only balanced it once
and that was a waste (.005 out). I don't think RX packs get stressed to the
point of messing up the cells, unless you over fly them below the ~3V a
cell.

  Thanks Jason.

  What about reliablity? How do these batteries fail? Is it detectable
before it's too late?

  Is there a not too expensive charger ( not the 10101) that can be used to
minitor the LiPO condition?

  I have been using SR batteries forever and I have learned how these
batteries fail. As a result it's easy to avoid the failure in the air. How
do you plan to ensure that the LiPOs don't fail in the plane?

    With my new Integral with the OS-200/YS-160, I am running a TP-910
2-cell lipo with a Shulman Aviation 6V regulator. After 3 flights, I put in
380 mah's. I would imagine on a 2C it might be a bit better.

      Hi all

      Just trying to get some background on the use of LiPOs for reciever
packs.

      What are you guys using...2 cell, 3 cells?

      Which regulators do you recommend?

      How do you monitor performance?

      How reliable are they in a 2C airplane?

      Appreciate any advice.

      Thanks
      Colin.
