Here's where you'll find the best built A123 LiFe Nanophosphate* packs available anywhere. Each pack is carefully assembled, welded, cabled and finished to order for just the way you fly. We use 1/4" wide HD nickel quad welded straps and tabs, strain relieved 18g wiring and connectors are standard. Every pack is equipped with a simple cell tap for ease of balance charging and owner cabling for your favorite charger. We 'double shrink' each pack for fuel proofing and protection of the cardboard sleeves and the outer finish is with our superb 3M Mil Spec rubberised shrink. The packs I build for you are assembled to the same exacting standards we use for the Naval Research Labs and RPV / Robotics applications worldwide. If you want the best for your baby.. it's right here!

The A123 Systems Nanophosphate M1 cells have proven themselves to be the most serviceable Lithium technology pack available for Mid to Extreme Giant sized R/C applications in the last decade. Here at last is a Lithium Technology that is stable, won't burn your plane, shop or house down if you do everything right, is exceptionally durable, offers superior life expectancy, is light weight, has exceptionally low internal impedance and does not require a regulator for use with modern radio equipment and digital HD servos.

-

At this time we have both of the current cell offerings from A123 Systems, assembled right here into the pack configurations most commonly used by the discerning top end competitors in Giant Scale and IMAC 3D flying. The 1100 Series is popular as a dual receiver pack and ignition pack in DA-50 powered aircraft (20-27%) and the 2300 series is a big favorite in 30-45% birds.

Accessories For A123 Setups (see the A123 Setup Guide for Installation Notes)

JST-XH & FMA CellPro Charger to Univ Cell Tap Adapter Cables.

For use with the standard 'univ' cell tap or the Combo3 Wire Connector to adapt the R/C standard Univ balance tap on our A123 packs to balance port equipped Chargers. We have two types available, one for FMA chargers as well as another for those chargers that use the JST-XH type plug format for a balance connection. (Hyperion, Thunder Power, Smart Cube, Fromeco, etc; check your chargers manual for JST-XH compatibility!!

The adapter cable allows easy access to the pack in the plane via a conventional chargeport equipped switch or separate chargeport. The two choices available provide connecting compatability with most A123 capapble balancing chargers. See the A123 setup Guide and the A123 FAQ page for info on how to take advantage of in-the-plane access for checking individual cell voltages or balancing A123 Rx packs.
