Lipo Rules

From Model Helicopter World article – USA Heli Scene” - April 2011

Lipo Rules:

 

• lipo, ESC, motor should stay below 140 degrees F

• lipos can take at least 100 charges

• never drain battery more than 50% of full capacity (ie 2200mAh 3S 30C 2.2x.50=11.0 or 1100mAh)

• balance cells “every few flights”

• the first three charges are the most dangerous time for lipo fire

Luck,

Vince
