[Woodward, Jim]

I've been running my IMAC planes with the Smart Fly Turbo Regulator and
PE-Pro, set to their max output (6.5 volts'ish).

 

Thanks,

Jim

Jim,

 

Assuming of course that your system requirements can handle the 6.6v
nominal that these cells provide.   Testing indicates that there is very
little voltage drop under load with these cells in reference to the type
of load we would be putting them under.

 

Fast charge rate

Flat discharge rate

Low voltage drop

Light weight

Safe to charge in plane or vehicle

Readily available through local market outlets

Easy to setup... with a little wiring/soldering know-how

Chargers available

 

Hmmmm... did I miss something?  Seems to me that we have a battery that
everyone has been looking for for some time.

 

My concern is how well they handle vibration and high temperatures.

	I'm thinking to go this route as well on my gas planes, then
maybe to the pattern planes.  The FG threads indicate that you do not
need voltage regulators with these A123 cells.

	Thanks,

	Jim W.

	I am liking what I see with the use of the A123's. The ability
to fast charge is great.  You wouldn't have to run as big of battery.
Just quick charge at the field. Plus these batteries have such a flat
discharge rate and high load capacity. What I found a little interesting
about what Bob was doing is the single battery setup on his gassers.  He
is running the ignition and receiver with one of these A123 batteries.
Normally a No-No running receiver and ignition on same power source.
Obviously the specktum receiver has the ability to see through any
ignition noise.

		Thanks, I will digest the info. I bet all the
manufacturers have gone to the 123s ? 

		What has me puzzled though is that all of the units, I
think, were advertised showing 18.5 nominal volts.

			Nat,

			Check out this link.  I think you will find
everything your looking for on Bob's link.

				A recent Lowe's Building flyer was
advertising four brands of 18.5v hand drills. One specified lipoly ( or
lion ), the other three just said charge in one hour. Are we missing
something ?  Nat
