scatteh316 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 is there much of a noticeable difference between the 2? I currently use a 2S LiPo but I'm getting tired of taking in and out my King Motor X2 to charge it as the stock NiHm was just a tiny connector that I used as it didn't need to be balanced charged. So I was thinking of moving to a 7.2v NiHm so I get high voltage but also I can charge it without ever having to remove it form my battery box. Will I notice much of a difference?

.AJ. Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 A lipo will hold a higher nominal voltage under load, but it won't be a huge difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I don't care what the battery is, i wouldn't charge anything in situ in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyknight Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Simple, if something goes wrong with the battery whilst charging up goes hundreds of pounds of rc car in flames. Would have thought it was obvious.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is being careful and then going over the top, I'm the same really I refuse to cross the road outside my house in case I get hit by a bus and I live in a cul de sac!

I also fly model aircraft as well as mess with 1/5 scale stuff and a member of our flying club almost lost his house to a lipo fire. He was charging it in his garage turned his back on it for 15 mins to find his garage which was joined to his house well alight so be warned.

Totally out of context I don't charge lipos unless I'm in attendance, in the rc car or not I don't leave charging lipos unattended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
