Well.
Lipo 3200 is only still 3200
How much was that?
If you are going Lipo You will also need a Lipo charger.
You will need another Sort of regulator to stop the pack from going under 6 point something volts or you would destroy it.
So, In simple terms : Initially it is a bit pricey to get into lipo but well worth it. :wink:

Yes.
BUT
If I was you
I would buy 3 of them and a charger.
I know this might sound expensive.
But
You go out
3 packs
One being used.... Run it ....Charge it while using the second one.

When the second one is dead the first one would be charged.

So,
No delay.
Dont forget though
If you are going to go LIPO

Get a reccomended one and not some cheapie ...!

Also
Get a lipo cut off device to ensure you dont run it down too much and destroy it.  :wink:

Charge lpos on a lipo charger at 1c and should have no problem,
Lipo can be Topped up whenever you want to. Not like nimh or Nicads where thry develope a memory effect or go out of balance.
