Here is a cool li-po battery alarm. Avaialble at http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=335444 . No more wondering when to land or worry about battery damage. Well worth the money and it works great.

Thanks

Heres the one im using. 35NZD.

http://www.rchelis.co.nz/product_inf...roducts_id=384

Its not the prettiest but it works. 5 LEDs may help to see in the bright sunlight.

Ive set it to approx 10.4V. This requires 80% of the battery capacity to charge.
I have seen this figure recommended on this and other forums.

Cheers

Same one here - I like it. It's cheap, simple, and does its job well. However, it would be nice if the voltage level was adjustable....

The one from Heliproz has adjustable voltage and is loud and obnoxious as well. It also has a neat feature, the alarm sounds as you approach your set voltage by a series of beeps that increase to a steady tone as you get to your actual voltage setting.

I have mine set at 9.6 volts. Just as long as you don't go below 3 volts per cell as that would cause damage to the battery.

I like the sound of your Heliproz.
