I'd be a bit worried about the charger supplied with that battery - it looks like just a plug pack with no control. LiPo batteries MUST have an overvoltage cutout system to stop charging at 12.6V ( for a 3 cell LiPo). So unless the battery pack contains that feature, which I can't tell from the webpage, I wouldn't touch it. Maybe Mel can enlighten us. The battery does look good and cheap though.matthew said:Yes your page was very helpful Gregh in just confirming a couple of the things i was wondering about. One thing i wondered was, your page didnt show that you wired an on/off switch and the cutout in, but i presume you still did both of those?
I was also looking at going with the system you showed, but using this 12v Lipo battery that Mel suggested, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290656714473?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 < Link To http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...ksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Would that be fine?
Yes, you're right that I didn't show an on/off switch or the polyswitch. Just forgot the obvious (to me). I do cover the polyswitch on my Battery webpage.
