cell phone batteries for flight?
Can I use the Nokia cell phone poli Ion batteries 3,6v for a speed 400 motor? I notice my older phones have the same size battery in a nmhi can I also use them,or not worth it?

Not worth it. While you can't be positive of the exact capabilities of your cell phone batteries just by looking at them, you can rest assured that they can't even come close to running a Speed 400 motor. Cell phone batteries are designed for low current discharge, maybe 2 Amps at most. A Speed 400 motor draws 10 to 12 Amps. You'll fry the batteries in short order...

well, look on the bright side - maybe u could cut apart a dead 2S lipo (if one cell survived..) and use it for your cell phone.
wouldn't need to recharge it for a year...
