for a very thorough discussion on the pros and cons of LiPo. They are good
stuff, but be careful with them. Get a good charger and pay attention when you
use them. I use an Astro 109 and charge the batteries in an ammo can when I
do so indoors. They are capable of releasing a lot of energy in an unplanned
fashion.

Subject: Info on lithium-polymer
batteries???
I am hearing a lot of talk about lithium-polymer
batteries, but I don't know
much about them. What is the real info
with lithium-polymer batteries? Can
they be used to replace either Tx
or Rx Ni-Cd battery packs for RC
applications? Can lithium-polymer
batteries handle hi current draw
applications? Does lithium-polymer
discharge over extended periods of time
like Ni-Cd batteries? Does
lithium-polymer deteriorate in capacity (and
storage) as the ambient
temperature increases?
In advance, thank you for the
info.
