Well Kevin, that’s good news. Thanks Mike Davis WA1MAD

Regarding lithium battery fires, they do happen and anything is possible but I have yet to hear of a single occurrence of the windcamp battery catching fire. Kevin Mullens K5KTM

I believe the Windcamp pack has a regulator on it, as it's my understanding that the Windcamp charger is just a wall wart. Most RC batteries do not habe regulators on them, as they are designed

Mike, why do model plane clubs keep their soft pac LiPo batteries in metal ammo boxes? I'm told it's to be safe, in case one catches on fire, and was led to believe that LiPo fires happen every so

Just ordered the Windcamp (I hope) from Ali. Thanks for all the tech support. Mike Davis WA1MAD

You can put this in the "I'm not a lawyer, but..." category of opinions, and I realize that I"m straying off topic, but... I've written a few QST articles over the years, and as I recall the author

Thanks for all those pieces of information. I do have the smallest LiFePO4 that Bioenno makes, but it is only 1.5Ah and used on my (tr)usdx. That's a smaller power requirement, in receive, radio, even

LiFePO4 is less dense than LiPoly, so not much better than 2500 mAH NiMH. The reasons for LiFePO4 vs lipoly/Liion are: Cheaper on large packs. Less fire risk on vehicles and solar. 3000 to 4000

Batteries Plus stores will take old batteries if you have one close by. I just installed a new Wincamp battery in mine. 30 days shipping from China but I like the convenience and they last a long

True Mike,? but then lifes too short for QRO :-) Andy GD1MIP

Will you now be at only 2.5 watts vs full power 5ish watts? Mike Davis WA1MAD (h) 781 545-4381 (c) 617 909-5103

Thanks all, I have reverted to the dry cell tray and some NiMH AA cells whilst I ponder my options. The old Windcamp pack is currently well away from anything combustible, awaiting correct disposal -

Mine died too at 5 years,which is the expected life of the battery chemistry. You could use the empty cell pack with Eneloop cells which last well, but they are a bit light on amphour capacity, circa

Thanks Joe, I was hoping for Lifepo4 not Lipo. But due to compartment size, that chemistry may not be available. I've asked Bioenno the same question. 73 Mike WA1MAD [email protected]> wrote:

As everyone else has said, get rid of that pack. It’s no good anymore. For a replacement just grab another windcamp, six years is a great service life for any rechargeable battery. I believe you

You are doing the right thing Andy!!!!? For all others in the same boat, GET A NEW BATTERY AND SEND THE OLD ONE TO THE RECYCLERS!!!!? Many people think rechargeable batteries are to last "forever"

There must be a list of lipo cell sizes somewhere to see what might fit in the 817 battery compartment. Otherwise you have to go external. The battery compartment is otherwise pretty useless. It may

Are there any internal Lifepo4 battery options for the 817? That would be a nice option. Undecided on a Windcamp upgrade.

Watch out Andy, they can catch fire Mike WA1MAD

I have some HT batteries that have expanded when they get old after many charges.? Best to remove and replace before something leaks... Within the last month I my original battery with a WinCamp set
