Про цю електронну книгу

Batteries have electrified RC model sport since its very beginnings – but today more than ever. There is a lot of tension in the industry, one development follows the next and what was considered unthinkable just a few years ago has long since become reality. The model sportsman is increasingly spoilt for choice – which of the seven available battery families (PB, NiCd, NiMH, LiIon, LiPo, LiFe, LiHV) are suitable for which purpose? What do you have to watch out for? What advantages do the new Si-Graphene lithium batteries offer? How can the use of RFID technology take battery handling to a whole new level? What will the future bring?

Properly used, charged, and cared for, the modern energy bars provide model sports enthusiasts with a lot of fun over a long period of time. In this book, Ulrich Passern, long-time FMT specialist author, book author and charger designer, provides all the basics and gives numerous practical tips on the correct handling of batteries and chargers.
