Lipo (Lithium Polymer Batteries) are used in many electronic devices. Lipo Batteries are similar to Lithium Ion batteries. They each have a nominal voltage of 3.6 volts. Unlike Lithium Ion batteries, Lithium Polymer Batteries do not have a hard metal casing but rather a flexible material encloses the chemicals inside.
The main reason for the use of Lithium cells in RC (Remote Control) plans and helicopters is that they are significantly lighter than comparable NiCad or NiMH batteries, which makes our RC airplanes and RC Helicopter fly longer and better.
Lithium Ion Tools
If you have previously been flying RC models with NiCad or NiMH batteries, switching over to Lipo (lithium polymer) batteries will result in a different number of cells being used. If you had six to seven round cells then 2 lithium polymer cells will correctly duplicate the voltage of those cells.
There are so many choices out there. There are many Lipo Batteries manufacturers. It is difficult to choose the right RC Lipo battery, especially for a newbie.
Battery manufacturers are constantly trying to one up one another. While competition can drive prices down, it also can give cause to false claims about products.
Don't cheap out. Confirm that your batteries are capable of running that the amperage level you plan to use them at. Running a cell at a higher C rating than the battery can handle can not only damage your RC Lipo batteries, but it can also damage your speed control. Better to buy a bit better Lipo battery than you need than to destroy your electronics and risk your RC Airplane or RC Helicopter.
