I'm currently using it in an airsoft rifle, but want to use it in a cheap R/C plane I've had for years. (Figured the LiPo might get a little extra oomph out of the can motors in it - it is a 7.4v setup, so I assume it's compatible.) You said balancing wasn't a huge issue - I guess I assumed it was. I thought that was one of the ways you made a battery explode. All this in the listing made me nervous: "Charge Current: 500mAh To 4.2V; Charge Voltage :4.20+/-0.03V Charge Time : About 3 hours; Standard charging method: 0.5C CC (constant current) charge to 4.25V, then CV (constant voltage 4.2V) charge till charge current is less than or equal to 0.05CThe maximum charge current: 1C"
I barely understand half of what they are trying to get at there, and have no idea how I would accomplish it.
