Big update.
Got an order in from RMP, so I can do some upgrades .
Got some premade A123 packs from RMP, a bit disappointed with them . I'll have to pull the heatshrink off them to balance them as their are no balance connectors Good job I asked for the packs to be made 1 cell high and have the cells put side by side.
I bought a 3 cell and a 4 cell pack to put in series to make 7 cells (~25V), which is perfect to mate to my Scorpion XL. I'll get alot more power out of it than the cheapy drill batteries I had been using.
I also bought the Astroflight A123 charger, it charges up to 10 cells. It will charge 1-4 cells at just under 8A, dropping to around 6A for 5 cells, just under 6A for 6 cells and 4A for 9 cells. In otherwords the charger maxes out at around 60W for 4 cells and 130W for 9 cells.
I also got some stuff to build an offroad 'bot and I should now have everything now for my RC car (after I bought some of the Altronics Polymorph).
