ThunderPower Li-Poly packs

E-FLITE

The folks at E-flite and ThunderPower have joined forces to give modelers a new selection of premium lithium-polymer (Li-poly) battery packs to fit every application under the sun. In addition to significantly longer run times (up to 4 times longer) and lighter weight than their Ni-Cd or NiMH counterparts, E-flite packs feature ThunderPower's Charge Protection Circuitry. During a charge cycle, this advanced circuitry monitors the status of the cells in the pack to make sure that they are charged evenly. It also prevents serious damage from charging errors such as selecting the wrong rate or inadvertently reversing polarity.

E-flite Li-poly packs are available in a variety of capacities with JST connectors or as do-it-yourself packs with 16GA wire and no connector. They cost from $29.99 to $79.99 each.
