Marking charged/uncharged lipos

[Baldie]

A piece of red Velcro is stuck to the Velcro on the pack... When ive used it, i pull the Velcro off and attach it to a Velcro strip in my battery box.

Still check them with the fusion smart guard before flight tho

I only have 4 lipos for my foamie so I just number them 1-4. I fly them and charge them in order. Simple, and not perfect, but does the job. Bit different to 22 lol

+1 for the elastic band. After I have charged the Lipo I tuck the leads under the elastic band, then when it has been used I leave the leads out of the elastic band. So I can see at a glance which ones have been used.

This is not the one from giantcod is it? The one that doesn't work?
Will this check one cells as well?

This works very well.

Gives each cell volts and can be programmed for any cell voltage you want. Gives a nice loud alarm that seems to come from the tx. Even gives the total volts. Delivery took 8 days.

They look the same as the GC ones I have just bought 2 of them from GC and they seem to work ok for me.

I use this method as well. Nice and simple and works a treat.

Thanks for all the replies

Like the elastic band and tucking the leads in, cheap, cheerful and job done!

But the red Velcro idea may be the winner!

Till the elastic breaks.........

I don't mark or anything (gone through all that rubbish), just get yourself a cell checker, quick and fail proof .

thanks - i just remember seeing a thread about someone saying they are crap and not work very well - plus giantcod stopped replying to his emails.

Mate of mine had a similar idea to this, he got some velcro adhesive discs only about 10mm across in green and red then he stuck them back to back, as he used the battery he just flipped the disc over. just another angle somone has come up with, me I keep them in a box, once used they dont go back inthe box until charged, but then ive only got 6

Well, this idea won!

Finished work early today and had mooch round town and got some velcro.

I always check every battery before putting it on the heli,

If Smart guard say NO > i put battery back in box > if Smart guard say YES > i fit and fly......seemples.
