Default Li-poly

Hi,

Lithium Polymer bateries, uses on all current mobile phone on the market today
The Li-poly batteries availeble now are not a good option for use in now-days racingcars.
The electronics used need more power as a mobile phone.
Besides, it's very difficult to charge them with the current chargers.

If you're looking for more power, and longer and more ennergy I would go for NiMH cells for use in camera's and photocamera's.
They are the same size as the regular AA batteries, but have more ennergy. Their mostly around 2100 or 2300 Mah, but the voltage is lower, 1.2 You can build your own packs, you'll only need small lips (orion makes them) and an extremely hot soldering iron ( 50W or up) so you can get the job done very quick, so you don't overheat the cells.
There are to negative sids about these cells.
They are more heavy then the regular ones used.
They are expensive.

Thomas thanks for the info.

Sounds like I better just stick to my current ones ... Sanyo 800 mAh AAA cells. I've used these continously in 1 hour mains without problems.

D, I think Sow has had a stroke or something - he's talking strange!

Forgot about the restricter

Oh by the way ... I prefer my PT on the top deck because its power light glows ORANGE when powered up!

That's what one has to do when one loses the battle of who's got the most orange metal bits.
