Lithium-Ion battery & charger
Model Airplane News, Aug 2002
SKY HOOKS & RIGGING
Micro RC modelers are becoming increasingly aware of the many benefits of lithium-ion cells, and as these cells become more popular, suppliers are stepping up to the plate to meet the demand. Sky Hooks & Rigging throws its hat into the lithium-ion ring with the introduction of 2 new cells and a charger. The cells are available in 450 and 700mAh, and each can be cycled approximately 600 times in its life. The micro-processor-controlled charger was designed to fast-charge 1, 2, or 3 cells. Input and output are protected against short-circuit and polarity reversal. A 12V battery operates the charger, and two LED lights indicate the state of charging. The lithium-ion cells are priced at $22 (700mAh) and $24 (45OmAh), and the charger sells for $50.
