Absolutely the safest check out procedure I have seen
there is NFW a loaded meter will tell you how well these cells are charged.
Why?
The voltage output is very flat until th pack runs dry -even under loads
so forget the old technologies -
I was asking Kiwi not you, I have already heard what you have said on the subject. Then I guess th 1000 or 2000 cycles dosen't mean anything. Lets see; I charge every few flights (A123) that means I have to charge 4 times when it took only one charge for my current Li-Ion packs for the same flights. So in effect thay last the same amount of time. No benfit and I have to bring extra equipment to charge the batteries.
