lipo

Hi all, First sorry if I am in the wrong forum. I'll admit it. I'm a noob. I have tried a few FT planes with no success. I tried designing my own plane... It was a flop. Now I am hoping that I can get some help as to which plane to attempt next. And if possible I would like to use some of my...

Building my first Charging station! i only have a handful of Lipo batteries. But i wanted a metal box that i could run cable in and had a lip i could open and close easily! This is what i was thinking! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UPA10Y?redirect=true&ref_=s9_simh_co_p328_d0_i2 I will...

Hi everyone, I am almost done building my FT Versa Wing and the battery I am using is a Kinexis 3200mah 3s 30c, and when I cut out the hatch in the front for it and test fit the battery, I found out that the battery sticks out about 3/8th to 4/8th inches and my question is because this is a...

Good morning everyone, I received an email from a company claiming to make high quality batteries at a low cost... .. . I'm wondering if anyone has heard from them or used them? http://www.lpdpower.com/35c-lipo-battery-packs-1.html Cheers

I jut got my LiPo battery in the mail today. My dad and I were trying to hook it up to the receiver and it simply would not fit. In trying to get it to fit we unwittingly turned to connector around and fried the receiver. Because of the way the battery plug is, it won't fit in the right way. I...

Hello all, being who I am I like to tinker... a lot! This is not article material yet as the following device is barely worthy of prototype status... Currently I have a Electrifly charger that does not have the capability to discharge batteries to storage voltage (or 3.8v per cell). I thought...

I was just now doing a bench test of my FPV system and suddenly the screen and receiver turned off. I wondered why, so I checked the battery I was using at the Voltage was {8.05} UPDATE: It's actually at 8.05 volts with around 2.85v per cell, and I've decided to try and save it Now I raise the...

Hi everyone, I just ordered the Mighty Mini Scout Speed Build Kit along with Power Pack A, and I would like to put a 800mah 3s that weighs 77g in it for flying in the wind. What I was wondering is if that battery would make it too heavy? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm new to quads and also the forum so firstly I'd like to say hello (Hello) :) Now that's over with time for the noob questions that will do doubt come from me in there hundreds! I've already order all the parts for my build which i shall list now so you guys have some idea what I'm...

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forums. I've been following FliteTest on youtube for about two years now :) I intend to get into multi-rotors with the ultimate goal of flying camera drones for personal and potentially paid work. But till then… I have a Dromida Kodo, and have been...

I have two 3s 2200mAh lipos that have ended their life early. One has a cell that is puffed and appears non existent, and the other has a cell that discharged itself to 0v without use. The other two cells in each battery appear to be fine and stable. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to...

Hi everyone, I am looking at an FT Versa Wing as my first scratch build, and I am wondering if an E-flite 3200mAh 3S 11.1V 30C LiPo paired with Flite Test's Power Pack C in a pusher configuration would be too heavy? I am also wondering if covering the entire wing in packing tape would be too...

Hi everyone, I am wondering if I can charge a 150mah lipo at a 100mah charge rate? The reason I am asking is my Hitec X1 MF 80-Watt AC/DC Charger only goes up in intervals of 100mah. Thanks!

Hi, does somone know the regulations for travelling with lipos? A friend of mine is travelling to Mexico and i want him to bring me a battery (1 LiFe 9.9v 1500mAh). I know he must bring the battery in carry-on luggage, also the battery must be inside a Lipo safe bag. Is there anything else i...

I'm looking for a way to charge a 2 cell LiPo via a USB port... I know there are USB chargers for single cell batteries, but I'm not sure if there are any multicell chargers (or if it's even possible). I'm looking for a cheap/easy way to charge the batteries on my quad while camping/hiking so...

I have thought about doing this thread for a couple of days now. As I am still relatively new to this hobby, I am still learning. I want to talk about one of the more dangerous pieces of your RC tools, the lithium polymer battery. There are many treads talking about how to pick the right...

So today some friends and I had a quad race down at our local RC club. Needless to say, I'm going to need more power to be competitive. So instead of flying my 5030 props, I'm going to give some 5040 and 5030 3 blade props a shot. But when I do this, my current consumption will go up. This in...

Hey FT! I've found myself playing the charge/discharge dance with my batteries recently. I'll charge a battery the night before on a forecast of low winds hoping I can fly after work. Without fail, I'll get home to 10+mph winds with gusts. Instead of discharging my batteries by flying, I'm...
