Default GBOOSTER : What kind of Lithium battery is it ?

Hello

I just received my Gbooster 80+ and I have a Lithium battery provided by Graupner.
What kind of Lithium battery is it ?
Is it a Lithium Ion Polymer or a Lithium Ion battery ?

Can I use the LIPO loader software to charge this battery ? If you have any experience, please help !! :-)

Sandor,

Does this include the packs with the Booster 160? I was told to charge these at 1.5A as a LiPo?

Rgds,

The Battery should be charged on LiPo setting As a 2S pack. I always charge these packs with the G Booster80 at 1.5amp 2s no problems.
The pack with the G Booster 160+ can be charged as 3s and again i charge at 1.5amp but these can be charged at 1c = 2.2amps.
Good flying .

Hello strykaas

I bought it at Andy's Hobbyshop.
I have received an answer from Hammer Engines, I can use LIPO software to load the battery.

Bye

Hello jeanfi
Any more questions , please ask, we are always ready to help ,The G Booster 80 is a very strong motor and i have had over 150 from mine in a cermark F16 the engine in this is turned down to 160,000 rpm to be kind on the airframe.In the Harpoon2 i have run it at 165,000 rpm and it still gives the plane a good amount of power and flight time of over 10mins with 2.5 l of fuel.
regards and safe flying MH

Mark,
I think it would be a good thing if they could have a G-Booster forum in the turbine clinic section.

Cheers
