Does anyone around here use li polys? I have a Kokam 2s 1500 mah battery and I am having trouble getting it to take a full charge. I have a triton charger, and it only takes about 600 to 800 mah. Do they need a lot of cycling to get up to full capacity?
 
I just bought a Li-ion and a charger tho charge them, What is the diff between a Li-Poly, and the Li-ion?
 
I think ly poly is newer tech. My Triton charger has one setting for both types, so they behave the same. I don't know anything else. I did get it to take a full charge this morning though, so apparently they need sevferal cycles before you put it in the r/c.
 
Hey Scott - you going to have that LiPoly setup ready and running before I get out that way?

I'm dying to see those S.O.B.'s run in something!

I wonder what your runtime is going to be....... 1 hour?

Hmmmm.........

Awesome poop man, awesome!
