Iron Corps 2400 Power Poles
The Iron Corps 2400mAh Lithium Phosphate Pack.
The Iron Corps 2400 is recommended for RX service in Giant Scale Planes, and
Helicopters.
Fromeco's Iron Corps batteries utilizing the new Lithium Phosphate
(LiFePO4) technology. Iron Corps cells share the same basic
chemistry as the well know "A123™" batteries.
Iron Corps batteries are not quite as strong as the "A123™" branded cells for
amperage output. However they are plenty strong for flight RX
applications. Fromeco tested many different brands of LiFePO4 cells in
search of a cell that behaved much like the "A123™" cell.
These characteristics are;
High amperage output
Flat discharge curve under high load
Lack of a predominate voltage loss at the end of
discharge
High Charge Rate
Voltage between 5.0volts and 6.6volts while under a high
dishcarge load
7.5volt terminiation for charging
Like the "A123™" cells Iron Corps share these characteristics, at an
affordable price.
Like the "A123™" Iron Corps cells can NOT be effectively load checked using
the same techniques used to check capacity on Lithium Ion Cells, in other words
an 8Ball will not work.
Fromeco will also be selling "A123™" branded cells under the name Iron Corps
Extreme, so stay tuned.
