Lithium-Polymer-batteries

-Lithium-Polymer-Batteries using their newest production technology. The batteries can be used under high load, this high quality product is achieved by careful matching and balancing. The 5s3p-batteries are equipped with 15 individual two pole connectors ("Tanic tabs") to each cell. So measuring or balancing is always possible. The 6s3p-packs are equipped with 6 connectors for balancing. For the Joker models two 5s3p packs, connected in series, are necessary, the Joker 2 can also be used with two 6s3p-packs (2x 6s3p only in combination with Schulze 40/160H). The sets are delivered in a strong steel case. All sets include connector cables for balancers and a detailed manual.

Weight: 5s3p: 750 g (1.65 lb) / 6s3p: 880 g (1.95 lb) Capacity: 6,45 Ah Dimensions: 285 x 59 x 26(30) mm

Plettenberg shows 8 - 12 LiPo cells on their HP 370/40 Heli pages.
It appears that lithium polymer batteries are 3.7 V per cell.
Lithium polymer batteries must be discharged before recharging.
Lithium polymer batteries can only be charged <50 times.

_________________________

For balance the batteries should probably be located at the front of the fuselage.

Lithium polymer batteries can be shaped to suit the aerodynamics of the fuselage.

Information on Lithium ion and polymer; by local person. http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-5.htm

Idea: Have 2 or 3 battery packs where all but 1 pack can be ejected, if required to increase the endurance time of the flight.

Will it be possible to get more power out of non-rechargeable batteries.

If the danger of falling batteries is a problem then a light silk parachute could be part of the battery pack.

Capacitors:

The two booms, the HS and the VS might use capacitors as a replacement for foam of honeycomb cores.
