Lithium Polymer batteries are now available for use in your radio sets. Pictured are packs from Dualsky for both transmitters and receivers. They come with plugs to match JR radios. They provide high capacity in a small package - you will be able to fly for ages using normal radio current draw without recharging. These packs have a built-in balancer, so you do not have to worry about connecting to the balancer port on your charger, but please note the following points:
These are LiPo packs and must only be charged with a dedicated LiPo charger
You will need to adjust your charger to the correct charger rate for each pack
You will need to make up a lead that plugs in to your LiPo charger
The plug on the other end may match your radio transmitter or receiver socket
Normal cautions that apply to LiPo charging must be observed
You must not discharge these packs below 3V per cell or they may be damaged
