RE: Li-PO or NiCd Pros and Cons
Now that I've gone all lipo I bought enough batteries to go fly until I'm worn out. Then I come home and charge them. With lipos I can let them sit charged until I want to fly again and go fly without having to top them up or cycle them. Makes it so easy, except for the time it takes to charge them. Sometimes I'll take my charger to the field and fly one then put it on the charger. Makes for fewer to charge when I get home. The great thing about lipos is you don't need so many because the flight times are so long. I often fly a while, land, take a break and fly some more, all on the same pack.
