Li-Po 1300mAh 7.4V 25C Battery - Stick

Lithium-Ion Polymer (LiPo) battery packs are the successors to the well-known Lithium-Ion (LiIon) packs. The fundamental advantage of LiPo is undoubtedly the capacity-to-size ratio. The packs are very small in size while maintaining very high electrical efficiency, which allows for choosing a suitable pack for virtually every AEG replica. They do not exhibit the memory effect. They can be charged very frequently, without needing to be fully discharged. Frequent charging is beneficial for every type of battery.
It is crucial to remember not to discharge a LiPo pack below 3V per cell and not to overcharge it beyond 4.2V per cell. Another advantage of LiPo packs is a small self-discharge percentage. An unused pack will lose approximately 3-5% of energy per month. It is important to pay attention to an unused pack as there is a risk that, due to prolonged non-use, it may discharge below the minimum acceptable value (3V per cell) and involuntary chemical reactions may occur, leading to a deterioration of the pack's properties, including permanent damage, and, in extreme cases, fire. An unused LiPo pack should be charged to an average of 70%.
Used correctly, a LiPo pack has an average lifespan of 500-700 cycles. An important factor is the temperature at which LiPo packs can operate. Unlike other batteries, LiPo cells perform well at low temperatures. However, they should be charged at room temperature. To maintain good condition of LiPo batteries, they need to be balanced during charging with a service connector, which most LiPo packs have (a good LiPo charger has a built-in balancer).
