General and Specific LiPo Info?

Smoke&Mirrors · Post by **Smoke&Mirrors** » Sat Jul 19, 2008 4:20 pm

So as the title suggests, I'm looking for both general and specific information about LiPo batteries and using them in bits. I've never used them in micros because of a lack of knowledge and also charging source. I'd really like to get some general basic info about the batteries and how to charge them.

Also, I'm planning on a few customs that I'd like to use LiPos in. Some are for speed and some are for endurance. One of my projects is very small too (like this) so I'll need a tiny Lipo (possibly like this?)

If it helps, my planned projects are (and don't judge me by my ambition

):
-ZZMT Stadium truck like this - speed
-1:87 TTTT like this - endurance
-1:64 TTTT - crawler i.e. endurance

Finally, what can safely charge these? (possibly an all in one charger?)

As always pimps, without you, all things impossible. Thanks.

Well, I can't answer many of your questions.
However, until someone will you can try search here at BitPimps.
In the past lots of Pimps used LiPos here, and it is possible to find post with details.
As far as charger goes, you'll need a dedicated LiPo charger to be on the safe side.
Hope this helps

Well I don't know what kind of pcb you are using, but a ZipZaps won't fit in a 1:87 TTTT unless it's a larger truck like a mann 5 or something.
