Lithium polymer batteries or LIPO batteries as we describe them, are a member of the lithium-ion battery chemistry family.

I'm tired. I'm worn out. My lipo test rig is tired, and after 1,980 cycles this new battery has finally worn out.

To answer this question we discuss basics LIPO batteries and the reasons for discharging batteries after use.

A few months ago I received a Nano-Tech Plus pack to test for HobbyKing, a 2200 4S Turnigy 70-150C Nano-Tech battery to be specific.

LiPo (Lithium Polymer) Vs NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride): which one is better? If you asked this question 10 years ago you will find yourself in a deadlock. Heated debates on which was the superior battery was a recurring theme. However, today, LiPos are the de facto king when it comes to RC batteries. In this blog, we look at the differences between LiPo and NiMH batteries, and why LiPos are the superior choice.

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries have undeniably surpassed all their predecessors.

When used responsibly, the risk and magnitude of an accident are greatly reduced.
