Without LiPo (lithium-ion polymer) batteries, drone technology wouldn’t be possible. These special powerhouses produce more than double the charge of alkaline (AA, AAA, 9V) batteries, are much lighter than other rechargeables (6 times lighter than Lead-Acid batteries) and they don't need to be fully discharged before re-charging. LiPo batteries are also made of explosive and volatile chemicals. They need to be treated with caution. The LiPo batteries won’t bite — just as long as you adhere to all safety precautions. With the wellbeing of the class in mind, it’s time to power RubiQ up and begin configuration.

Configurator: a software platform for adjusting the flight control settings programmed to a drone.
Electrodes: electrical conductors that make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit, such as an electrolyte. Anodes are negatively charged electrodes; cathodes are positively charged electrodes.
Electrolyte: a solution that contains ions; because electrolytes can conduct electricity, they are often included in circuits.
LiPo (lithium polymer): a type of rechargeable battery powered by lithium ions and a polymer electrolyte.
Voltage: electric potential energy, or the difference in charge between two points; the amount of “push” available to motivate electrons to move through a circuit
