Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries have really changed the micro rc helicopter
scene. The weight savings of LiPo batteries is amazing, for example 3 NiCd 120
mAh cells (3.6V) weigh about 18g (0.62oz) a single cell LiPo 130 mAh cell (3.7V)
weighs about 3.2g (0.11oz). That is over an 80% weight savings for about the
same voltage and capacity. Below is a list of some of the more common LiPo cells
being used in micro RC airplanes.
Chargers
LiPo cells require different chargers then NiCd and NiMH cells. Below is a list
of chargers suitable for LiPo cells.
*****WARNING*****
Charging Lithium Polymer batteries with incorrect charger WILL CAUSE FIRE, AND
EXPLOSION.
Please make sure your charger supports charging Lithium Polymer batteries.
If you do not have an appropriate charger, please order one
