Modern Lithium Polymer batteries (LiPo, Li-Poly) are a preferred source of power for flying models because of their ability to store and deliver large amounts of energy from light-weight packs. Performance wise, these new batteries have much more in common with model aircraft fuel than with any previous battery technology and they deserve similar respect: For safe handling it is useful to think of Lithium Polymer Batteries as Fuel.

With the latest high torque, high speed digital servos, the requirement for larger currents from our onboard flight systems are getting ever more demanding. Coupled with a voltage regulator, Flight Power LI-Poly's provide unparalleled voltage stability for your high performance aircraft. Adding to this, there is also a considerable weight savings versus NiCad and NiMh. The completely stable input voltage means that flight performance will be improved greatly, especially with maneuvers which require the most out of your servos and batteries like snap rolls and knife edge.

Balancing of the Lipo cells is not necessary if the battery is used for the ignition or receiver. Balancing is suggested if the battery pack powers an electric motor driving a propeller.

We recommend that any LiPoly pack be removed during charging as they can catch fire during charging. Overcharge protection circuits do not eliminate the risk of fire!
