  • LiPo Poll - Please take 2 minutes to complete this short poll.

    Evening all!

    Brands In Use Currently -

    Number of Lipos Currently Owned -

    LiPo mah Sizes Used -

    C Rating Used -

    Number of Lipos Purchased a Year on Average -

    Preferred Charging Option (Standard, Parallel etc) -

    Number of Chargers Owned -

    Power Supply Type Used -

    Preferred Lipo Connector (EC5,EC3, Deans etc..) -

    There may be a few more questions to add but I'm just trying to get an idea at the moment.

    Many thanks
