[NSRCA-discussion] Li-Po and Regulators for 4C applications

[John Pavlick]

Lance,
 The Sirius Lithium charger tells you how much energy has gone back into the battery as well as showing what the charge current is and also if it's in constant current or constant voltage mode. That should be enough for you to figure out if it really charged the battery or not.

  Colin,

  I've been trying a similar setup. 1200maH 2S lipo with a Radio South 5.1v reg in my glow plane.  It's been performing fine so far but my charger is not a fancy one that tells me how much is put back in after a day flying.  I don't fly electric but still would like to use a charger that is not just a blinky light.  These got me in trouble with NiCds and I learned my lesson there.  Sadly, for this experiment all I have is the Great Planes blinky light charger that I use for my foamies.  Any recommendations?

    Hi all

    Is anyone using the TP Voltage Regulators with Failsafe switch? They are available here in Canada (unlike most other things) and I would like to consider upgrading my ancient NiCD technology.

    Considering the 1400mAH 2S TP with the TP 5.1V regulator in a 170 powered Integral. I am using an ARA170 mount...if that changes the assesment.

    Any comments? 

    Any reliability issues I may have missed ?

    Colin.
