The case for standardizing Li-Poly balancers

FOLLOWING IS A post by Simon Chaddock
that I picked up on one of the modeling forums.
“I cannot claim to have matched the electric
achievements of Col. Taplin but I did make a
very light electric flyer in the early 1960s. Not
RC but it did fly—just. 40 inch span it weighed
just 2.5 ounces complete! Apart from its ever so
delicate light weight construction the clever bit
was the miniature bichromate battery, made by
my dad.

Even after several years of use in
our hobby, there still seems to be confusion
about the “C rate” for Li-Poly batteries. Until
Li-Poly technology entered the modeling
scene, “C” stood for capacity of the battery.

An inside peek at a Li-Poly battery pack. These exploratory excursions should
only be attempted by trained professionals
and not tried at home. No healthy cells
were sacrificed in this examination.
