Re: Use of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries in place of Lead Acid for FRC r

Eh, just use a high- C rated RC car battery. 10AH would be fine. Make sure to use the hardshell.

My RC car pulls 200 or 300 amps on acceleration and they do fine. MaxAmps makes great ones but they are expensive. Charge them at 20amps if you want, they will do fine.

Make sure they have the hard case. Put a Lipo low voltage sensor on it, they are typically $5.

Never had a lipo explode or puff up. Just be cautious because they have the ability to.

Have fun
