Some thoughtful modelers have gone to magnificent lengths
to incorporate some of my battery dissertations in their home pages. With all
this "disserting" I have neglected to gain the requisite skills to
make up really fantastic home pages, ergo I am obliged to direct your
concentration to the links provided below.
Basic Ni-Cd Stuff....The
seminar presented to commercial customers around the world. At the incessant
urging of a number of visitors I finally added the charts and graphs. Long
overdue. Thanks for your patience, now I can get back to gluing balsa
together with a clear conscience.
Mark Venis, Vencon Technologies, collected some of my random
rantings on batteries. Comments on Ni-MH are somewhat dated. Things have
improved significantly over the past few years with this technology. from
the the newsgroup, rec.models.rc.air, saving you the trouble of going to
Google and searching them out. Mark markets a rather nice little package that
lets you cycle your packs and display the actual charge and discharge curves
on your computer. Check it out, It's the UBA 4 and he talks about it on his home page.

The Battery
Discussions at Left are in no way intended to denigrate the work of others on
the subject of batteries. However, it is not uncommon for errors to creep
into battery related articles since the industry has done a rather poor job
in educating the end users with the result that many battery myths have
filled the voids. Since retirement I have made it my undertaking to share as
much battery information as possible with the modeling public, information
which until now been held back by the industry for "marketing" or
"commercial" reasons or perhaps because the average consumer could
care less.

This site is simply the best resource for R/C battery system

and respected battery specialist, has compiled a great deal of information
and presented it in a logical, easy to use form. Every R/C
enthusiast should have this site bookmarked! (March 6, 1999)
