I first used Nicads
I first used Nicads in a model in 1963 and in my transmitters shortly
after. I have plug and forget chargers and battery testers for my
equipment. I have no need for more advanced technology that can
start fires if misused. Anything that stores power has the potential
of starting a fire but

the price.

Why do so many people want to put a fire bomb in a transmitter or in
a model other than electric? The NiMh batteries in my Evo will last
about four times longer than I will ever fly in one day. If, by
chance, I do fly longer than normal, then I will simply recharge the

prizmatics would fit our current moldies, they offer no where NEAR the required
current demands due to their internal structure.
I am curious what you feel are the current demands of a typical 6-servo
TD ship.
I can give you some documented loads from other uses.

Very different technology;
The charge algorythms used within cellphones and other personal equipment are
locked down to the cell-count for that device, with other safegaurds.

I wonder if all the people that are still so worried about charging Li-Ion
batteries are charging all the cell phones in the family outdoors in an ammo
box. :>) No different technology.

Chip,
We've discussed dual battery packs before. For Nicad's and NiMH's it's a
reasonable approach. Though it was heatedly debated.
But with Lithium?? Dude, I don't know. I'd not be too cavalier with them.

FWIW,
I haven't seen many people discuss it, but I have been using Li-ion
batteries for a while. I flew the entire two day contest at the Fall

and I checked the voltage periodically and I had plenty to spare. I
