Sheldon,
Remember that the original point was about
the Gas Gauge ability of voltage monitors relative to NiCads versus
NiMHs.... apparently you think it is an opportunity to promote your
product...
Here is my final commentary, my position,
which is fact-based but IS my personal opinion, that you openly invite at
your website:
"First let me make it very
clear that I am the owner of YNT uDesign and, as such, do have a personal "interest", in the continued
sales of my product--The BC6 Flight Monitor. I would still make the statements below
regardless of my involvement with YNT uDesign or any other company. I would never, knowingly, mislead
anyone intentionally...while I believe my statements to be accurate they are,
after all, my own opinion and, as with any advice, you should evaluate
it--then form your own conclusion!" Anyone who has read your most recent post,
and then reads your website information, can easily see contradictions
between your statements here and the information you provide on your website
relative to use of the BC6. In fact, they can see the contradictions
within your post:
"Again, speaking to the BC6...Basically this is really no
different than the little low fuel indicator in most vehicles.
....
The low fuel
indicator in vehicles is calibrated to activate when a certain quantity of
fuel remains - but the BC6 indicates the equivalent of the fuel pressure;
your vain search for analogies to validate your statements only highlights
the difference between NiCad and NiMH, again, one of the original
points.
And a relevant contradiction between your post and
your website:
"You're saying that "green or equivalent" means that there is
enough for another flight...That is NOT what I'm
saying."
But on
your website you clearly state at:
"After each flight you should check
the BC6 before shutting off your Tx and Rx. The
BC6 will display the LOWEST voltage recorded
during your flight and the number of glitches encountered during
that flight. If any of the Green LEDs are on it is still safe to
fly." (last
sentence emphasis added by me for clarity)
You have clearly indicated
your main interest is commercial in nature, which inherently taints
any information you provide beyond verifiable specification and performance
data.
Anyone who understands and practices proper care and maintenance
of their RC battery systems, regardless of chemistry, does not rely solely on a
voltage monitor. Most that don't understand, and use voltage monitors,
rely on them as if it were a gas gauge - this from personal observation of
several years.
I won't use any further
bandwidth on this, as you have turned the subject significantly away from
the original point, and further discussion would not contribute materially to
that original point.
