[NSRCA-discussion] LI-IO packs

[Daniel Dupont]

Just by reading the vendor site it seem that they can go up to 8.4 and stop
flying t 7v so charging to 3.3v would be below thatŠI would talk to whoever
you purchase them fromŠŠ

The pack says on the side, however, 7.4V 5200mah.  Does this mean each cell
of this pack is 3.7V like LiPo?  I definitely see what you mean, Ken, by
chemistry adjusts per cell voltage.  By the way, you never changed your
profile pick.  ;)
