RE: Futaba dropping all NiCads?
I have had very good luck with LiPoly and LithIon Rx packs. They hold their charge forever and recharge fast. I just bought a 2300mah LiFePo4 2cell Rx pack from EPBuddy, at Ejets, in Ohio. I have not used these A123 type packs before but I wanted to try them. I have two FMA Cellpro 10S chargers.
What is the best way to monitor the voltage of A123 packs so you know when to recharge? I had been told that because they have such a flat power curve, that you do not see a gradual drop in voltage such as with other battery types and therefore it requires special attention to determine when to recharge.
I am tired of NiMh self-discharging and false peaking when trying to charge.
