Re: Capacity of backup battery?

Thanks Jason.
I do have peak cell detection and could probably use that but it's always nice to know the capacity so you can tell if you have a bad cell etc....
The problem with commercially available packs is the connector. Most manufacturers are using the Tamiya or Deans type connectors. The connector type use by IFI is extremely hard to find.
I'll touch base with IFI and see what info I can get from them.

I guess NiMH is out of the question. Too bad. I like the idea of being able to "top charge" without inflicting the dreaded NiCd "memory" effect.
