RE: Battery?
Mac,
Do yourself a favor and do lots of shopping.. These batteries are the same and a lot less expensive. The company is very reliable, only thing since they are in Hong Kong, it can take 2 weeks to get whatever you order. They also have chargers for a lot less too.

RE: Battery?
this is the charger I just got and beats the heck out of many that cost a LOT more. It all so charges the new LifE batteries. Even comes with a heat sensor.

Did you buy a heat sensor separately?
The main type within the link says "*This function is available by connecting optional temperature probe, which is not included in our package."

P.S. On second thoughts the shipping from Xheli (to me in Australia) puts this way over the top......$-wise!

One came with mine and I did not order it separately. It was included with mine and others I talked to said they got one with theirs.

RE: Battery?
The charger I posted works either on house current of a 12 volt power supply like a car battery so if you are in the field with out any electricity you can still use it. This is one of the many reasons I got the one I did as it is both AC and DC.
All so what ever you get make sure it charges Life batteries as it is the new up coming battery. Many Lipo chargers do not. Once again the one I posted does just about every battery you will ever need to charge till they come out with something new. [X(]

It is great that they include what they specifically say they do not![sm=bananahead.gif]
What are the benefits of flying with Life batteries? Are they lightweight with lots of power or slow discharge (longer flight times) or what??
