LiPO batteries should only be charged with a specified charger at the recommended charge rate. Check manufacturer's specifications for the battery and charge rate.

The reason I chose a 1500mah 102 gram 10C Lipo is: It is an ounce lighter than the old battery and can handle the power requirements of the Miss Hydro 1.5. The battery is mounted behind the COG so it's weight makes a huge difference in flight performance.

Out of the box, it should be charged non-stop without using the radio for about 16 hours. Keep in mind that it will take about 3 full charge/discharge cycles before the battery pack achieves it full power capacity. In everyday use, you should use the radio and battery continuously until the radio tells you the battery needs recharging. At this point, the battery should be FULLY charged with the radio turned off (about 14 hours).

Answer: The easiest way is to connect it to the Apple iPod Power Adapter. You can also charge it by connecting iPod to your computer or putting it in its optional dock. For additional information, see "Charging iPod's internal battery" Answer: You don't need to empty the battery before charging it. Lithium-based batteries, like those used in iPod, have none of the memory effects seen in nickel-based rechargeable batteries.

In general it is safe to charge at 1C (e.g for a 2200mah pack this would be 2.2A) Using lower charge values can prolong the life of your pack, 1C charging generally charges your pack in approximately 1 hour.

Discharging, like charging, depends on a number of factors such as: the initial state-of-charge, depth-of-discharge, age, capacity of the battery, load and temperature. For a fully charged battery at 70? F (21.1? C), the ampere-hour rating divided by the load in amps will provide the estimated life of that cycle. For example, a new, 72-ampere-hour battery with a 10-amp load should last approximately 7.2 hours. As the battery ages, the capacity is reduced.

It depends on the type of charger and the size of the mobile phone battery. A rapid charger will charge a slim battery in as little as 30-45 minutes. A standard charger will take from 8 hours to almost 20 hours for extended batteries. Most in-vehicle chargers will rapid charge the battery to about 50% capacity in less than an hour, then switch to slow charging.

Answer: Fully charging the battery takes about 4 hours. You can also fast-charge the battery to 80 percent capacity in 1 hour (2 hours for iPod (Click Wheel)). Charging the battery may take longer if you're using iPod as it charges.

Answer: Absolutely. The Apple iPod Power Adapter can accommodate the common electrical standards used throughout the world. To make it easy, consider purchasing the World Travel Adapter Kit so you'll always have the right set of plugs for the many outlets you're bound to encounter. The kit also works with most iBook and PowerBook G4 power adapters.

Answer: The standby time is 1 month when fully charged. After a month of not being used, the battery will likely be fully discharged. You may find that the battery is empty before then, and that's normal. Even when it's not being used, iPod uses a small amount of battery power. Lithium-ion batteries need to be used for maximum performance. If you don't use your device often, be sure to complete a charge cycle at least once per month.

recharged via the 5 volt Vcc. The Vcc voltage is constantly monitored. If Vcc falls below 2 volts the

If your work load is very active during the day we recommend Charging every night. If the duty is light, then we recommend charging every other day or even less frequent. Keep in mind that the least amount of charge cycles received by the Battery the longer the life of the Battery.

The approximate number of recordable images is 165 with flash fired for 50% of the shots and LCD monitor on, and the playback time is approximate 160 min. Note: The description above (1) is according as CIPA standard and above (2) is based on PENTAX measuring conditions and may vary depending on factors such as capture mode and shooting conditions. The age of the battery can also affect these statistics.
