LiPo 11.1V 1200mAh 15/30C mini-Tamiya
Electro River™ is a new quality on the LiPo packs market. This manufacturer has set itself the task of creating a product that is of the same quality as the best competitors in the battery market while maintaining an attractive price. The offer includes very capacious packs as well as those designed with limited space for power supply in mind - even packs similar to a lighter in size!
The high quality of cables and plugs guarantees maximum utilization of the battery's energy potential by minimizing losses in the power transmission. This also prevents overheating of the contacts. Each cell has been protected by the NanoSafe® system in order to minimize the potential ignition of the package due to a serious damage.
Thanks to Subzero Power® technology, the performance at low temperatures is increased. Even at negative temperatures the self-discharge level is very low. The high level of care taken in the manufacture of each cell and other components ensures minimal internal resistance and a high voltage strength under load. These features have resulted in up to 20% more charging cycles than other Li-Po batteries! This makes Electro River™ products an attractive offer for both beginners and advanced users of LiPo batteries.
The lithium-ion-polymer ( LiPo ) packs are the successors to the well-known lithium-ion ( LiIon ) packs. The main advantage of LiPo batteries is undoubtedly the capacity to size ratio. They are very small in size while maintaining a very high current capacity, which allows you to choose the right pack for virtually any AEG replica. They have no memory effect. They can be charged very often, without any previous discharge. Frequent charging is beneficial for this type of battery.
It is important to remember not to discharge the LiPo package below 3V per cell and not to overcharge above 4.2V per cell. Another advantage of LiPo packages is a small percentage of self-discharge. An unused package loses about 3-5% of its energy on a monthly basis. The pack should be monitored, as during a very long period of storage, it can be discharged below the minimum allowable value (3V per cell) and irreversible chemical reactions that can cause a deterioration of the properties of the pack including its permanent damage, and in extreme cases - an ignition. An unused LiPo pack should be charged on average in about 70%.
When used correctly, the life span of a LiPo pack is 500-700 cycles on average. An important aspect is the temperature at which LiPo packages can operate. Unlike other batteries, LiPo cells perform well at low temperatures. They should be charged at room temperature. In order to keep the batteries in good condition, they should be balanced during charging by using the service plug, which most of the LiPo packages have (a good LiPo charger has a built-in balancer).
