    BATTERY TIPS {APPLICATIONS)
    If you have been flying R/C for more than two years, you will have started to collect transmitter and receiver battery packs that don't quite measure up any longer to cycle testing . Don't throw them away because there are some useful applications for these "unsafe for flight" battery packs. First, snip off the connector pigtail for use in making up your new battery packs. You will find homemade packs to be just as good, and substantially cheaper, as those supplied by your radio manufacturer. Disassemble and separate the cells in the old pack. If you have discharged the pack down to a low voltage, you can use a VOM (volt - ohm meter) to determine which of the cells are really no good. They will be the one(s) that are still significantly less that 1.2 volts, measured after you have let the discharged battery pack sit for about an hour. Deposit those low voltage cells in you favorite round container. The remaining cells can be wired up in series to make a self contained electric fuel pump, or wired in parallel with a glo connector added to make a engine starting pack, or can be wired in parallel and used as nose weight (in lieu of lead) with the added benefit of being an on board ignition system; you can even get fancy with a micro switch on the throttle servo so the current only comes on at low speeds. These are just a few uses of old, tired nicads.
