And LiPo, never re-peak them......

Theres no need to discharge and equailize or cool down time before recharging?

what would this kind of power realisticaly do to a B4?

Would it be a better idea to get the Orion3700 lipo pack?

Thanks

Craig.
it will be fine in a b4 just less weight more voltage

Have you seen the Orion lipo's? if so how do they compaire?

Also is there anyway of telling how much power is left in a pack after use?

(last question)!

Craig.
yes there is now www.trakpower.com the new balancer show how much is left



The NEW TrakPower V-Balance safety and conditioning device shown connected here to the TrakPower 4900 pack. This revolutionary safety device contains the rules for safe-handling of LiPo packs in its software. When connected between charger and battery, the V-Balance monitors the condition of both cells in the 2s LiPo pack (and up to 6s LiPo for future-proofing) and will disconnect the charger if any one cell is in danger of going over-voltage or under-voltage. Additional functions such as the Fuel Gauge show the approximate state of charge of the whole pack (and each cell on pressing the mode/reset button). The V-Balance also equalizes the state of charge of the two cells either passively or during charging.

TrakPower V-Balance: The key to unlocking the world of ultra-high performance LiPo for RC Cars SAFELY!!!

The TrakPower V-Balance is supplied with the special 2s TrakPower lead harness
