I would recommend going with protected Li-ions where ever possible.

The protection citcuit usually guards against over-charging, over-discharging and short-circuiting.

Always be careful with Li-ion cells. If anyone is un-aware of the safety precautions that should be followed when using Li-ions, I would highly recommend reading up on them.

Good Point....!!!!

Huge disclaimer on that!!!!

I fly Electric Radio controlled Aircraft...Li-Poly's for power/Weight ratios.

Even then Li-Poly's and Li-Ion's need to be respected!!!!

NEVER CHARGE THEM UNATTENDED!!!!


For My Li-Poly's in RC aircraft..I use

Yeah...me too. I am afraid to use the batteries I have since I have read about the problems with unprotected cells. I need to get new protected li-poly batts for my micro helis. And probably a new charger too.

I can hover and move them around a bit all day long, but when it comes to flying them forget it...lol. I never got that far. I did convert them to brushless and carbon blades, good receivers and an awesome Futaba transmitter...all the basic recommended mods. I want to get back into it but it gets so darn expensive...lasers are easier to control... ;D
