<DIV>With my electric plane where I am in the plane every flight to plug / unplug the motor lipos, I use the following configuration:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>#1 TP2s1p480 plugs directly into voltage regulator #1 which plugs into battery port on RX.</DIV>
<DIV>#2 TP2s1p480 plugs directly into voltage regulator #2 which plugs into an usused channel on the RX.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No switches. RX power is on/off when I plug the 480 lipos into the voltage regulators.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3 oz total weight. I use between 40 and 60 mah, depending on length of flight. I remove the 480 lipos for charging, and charge them individually. The 480s are taped together, and held into the plane with a single velcro loop. Very simple, light, and easy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>

<DIV>How you charge when you use the two batteries with one or two switches configurations?</DIV>

<DIV>You will get a lighter installation from LiPo's vs LiIon's. I've heard that the LiIons stand up better to abuse if problems develop made during charging, but I believe that you are still supposed to observe the same precautions with either one. Given that, I did switch to TP LiPo's when I built my Prestige's and they have worked out extremely well. If you go with LiPo's, you can then afford (weight-wise) to do a simple, but very effective dual redundant battery setup. I use a pair od 730 mAh packs and can go all day on that. Check out the Tech-Tip at <A title=http://www.tech-aero.net/ href="http://www.tech-aero.net/">http://www.tech-aero.net</A> to see how it's done. It's even easier than pictured in those diagrams now that there is a dual failsafe switch and regulatior available in one package that operates off of just one switch.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know if you have any questions, but a pair of LiPo's and a PLR5-DR is the lightest and most reliable way possible to use LiPo's.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Dan, I am not planning on running electric, so I would like to know, do I go Litihium Ion, or Li-Poly. My guess is Li-Ion because of the make up of the cell. Not a big fan of Dura-flames, So I am intrerested in something different. I have heard some good things about your batteries, and I would like to hear more.</FONT></DIV>
