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…
