Right at the design stage every PowerBox battery is developed using the best materials and the latest LiPo cells available today.
As with our other PowerBox products, these battery packs are assembled using what are known as circuit boards (the surface of the
conductor tracks is gold-plated; this allows components to be positioned more accurately, and provides improved conductivity and
resistance to oxidation). The LiPo cells we use are manufactured specifically for our battery packs, i.e. they are made to meet
our precise specification, for the purpose defined by us, and are not just mass-produced cells which were not originally intended
for use in RC models.
The cells are attached to the circuit board using a special soldering process developed by us in-house. We then give the packs a
complete discharge and charge cycle, enabling us to determine whether the electronic charge and safety circuits are working
correctly, and what you can expect from the packs in terms of performance for your RC system. Each stage of production is
followed by a specific testing procedure. In fact, the tests alone are responsible for more than 70% of the production time
required for a PowerBox Battery. The entire charge process is controlled by a sophisticated electronic safety circuit which
constantly monitors voltage and time. It is managed by a specially developed IC in conjunction with an SMT temperature sensor
which is embedded in the circuit board, between the two Lithium-Polymer cells.
To charge this battery pack safely and reliably all you need is a mains PSU or our 12 V car adaptor. This arrangement results in a
charge process which is perfectly matched to the LiPo battery itself. The procedure is simple and safe, as for all modern electronic
devices which nowadays accompany us in our daily life, such as mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras and others, and which we now
operate almost without thinking.
A robust protective case reliably shields your valuable Lithium-Polymer battery and the electronics from all external influences,
and in particular from mechanical stresses in the model.
The security of this battery system is further enhanced by the dedicated mount, which has been specially developed for our
battery pack. Every PowerBox battery is supplied with an external LED with matching LED mount. The LED is simply plugged into
the appropriate pins adjacent to the two LEDs, and allows you to check your LiPo battery for low voltage while the model is flying.
