1. My previous 4.8 NiCd packs all had only a red wire and a black wire. My wife bought me a 1400Mah battery but it has a red, black, AND white wire. What can I use this battery for?
The pack was probably made using standard three wire servo leads; the white wire isn't connected to anything, plug it in just as you would the other, two wire leads. I have several NiMH packs like that. Can't offer any opinion on the LiPo question, I don't use them.
