I am re configuring one of my jets to lose some dead nose weight. Right now I am running two A123 2300mAh batteries that I can remove from the jet for charging.

I have always set my jets up to be able to remove the batteries for charging with the exception of my F-86 that has a single 5 cell 2300mAh Nicad in the nose that is not accessible. I charge the Nicad on board.

My jet I am re doing will have a Powerbox Royal with the regulator set for the 6.0 volts. The lead in the nose of this jet will be removed and I can put the two A123's in the nose for balance. I am concerned with charging the A123's in the jet.

My other option is to install two 2300mAh 6 cell Nicad packs in the nose and i would be able to charge them in the jet.

What are your thoughts on this?
Anyone charging A123's on board your jet?
Any issues I.E. packs exploding.
