    G26 Air Engine Question

    I'd have to agree with dimes on this one.....if the boat guys are still using the g26 then you'll probably be better off selling what you have to buy a good used airplane version. If I had to guess, and keep in mind I'm usually wrong when I guess, i'd say the lower end is the same and you can...

    **sticky** Understanding Lithium Polymer Batteries

    **sticky** Understanding Lithium Polymer Batteries

    yes, a 10 amp total rate (not per cell) would be a 2C charge rate for a 5000 mah pack Max charge rate should be designated on your pack and keep in mind that rates of 1C or less are desirable for extending pack health. In other words, if you're not pressed for time then charge at 1C or less.
