[RCSE] Lithium Ion batteries

[Chuck Anderson]

Why do so many people want to put a fire bomb in a transmitter or in 
a model other than electric?  The NiMh batteries in my Evo will last 
about four times longer than I will ever fly in one day.  If, by 
chance, I do fly longer than normal, then I will simply recharge the 
transmitter with the SiriusCharge mounted in my van.  In fact, I 
normally use the SiriusCharge to charge my transmitter and model on 
the way to the field so I always start with a full charge.  I haven't 
been  very happy with the service I have gotten with the NiMh and 
Li-ion batteries in my cameras and computers so I have decided to 
stick to Nicads for my model and replace the NiMh battery in my Evo 
with  a 1100 mah Nicad battery when the existing battery dies.  I 
will only have enough battery to fly three times more than normal but 
I can live with that.
