Do you have plans for this protective electronic device inside the box? I would sleep better when charging my pack with those stuff! Let me know how did you build it?

That's actually the charger in the box. It's a Potensky lithium specific charger. You set number, and type of cells, and charge rate with dip switches. I picked it up online at Radical RC for about $25. (The silver box is my 12V power source for the charger.)

Status: offline 		I take it from this topic that its save enough to usea li-ion battery. I have being looking around for a charger but all seem to be 12v? can you get a slow charger for these batteries?

Status: offline 		1) Do you have to change the speed controller in the Potensky Eagle if you are using a li-ion battery?

2) Does the battery from the Speed controller step down the voltage for the reciever or do you need a separate battery pack for the receiver?

BTW am new to Electric flights. Trying to get away from the mess of glow engines
