NiMh on Gen 2 Machines - When?
The battery rebuilders are having excellent results with repacked NiMh batteries. Range can equal or even surpass Li-Ion's when rebuilt properly. NiMh are also a great value and help keep depleted batteries out of the waste stream.
Some users need the ability to fly with their machines and cannot currently do so commercially with Li-Ion batteries. It seems like the only reason they cannot be used on Gen 2 machines is a software issue. Inc. must have some reason for this. As Gen 1 machines become harder to find (including parts), this is going to be a major issue for some. Do anyone know why they decided only Li-Ion's on Gen 2's? And any idea if/when they will re-think their position on this and offer a software version for Gen 2 machines that supports both Li-Ion and NiMh? |
