Aerovoltz

[TxSkyBolt]

Caution for you users of Aerovoltz batteries, and potentially all LiPo batteries. If it is fully discharged it is toast and you have a very expensive shelf ornament. I flew the other day for the first time with my new battery and unbeknownst to me the alternator failed. My first indication was radio going inop. Upon landing I learned the sad truth about LiPo batteries. Great weight savings but don't ever forget to turn off your master switch. (Who hasn't done that before?)

I've read that new builders will hard wire their strobes to the master so they will be warned if they leave it on.
