Hey, anybody got a Turnigy Tx Lipo? Need urgently..

They have been out of stock forever on HK.  There are couple of people on our field, also waiting for them.

If there is an alternate source for similar stuff, please do point out.

I know this might be irrelevant for this thread.

But some days ago my transmitter remained ON accidentally. Result, the turnigy tx lipo battery was completely dead.

Fortunately, the turnigy god was with me. I tried to recharge it by using the NIMH mode on my charger and was able to retrieve it and then as the lipo started charging. I used the balance charger mode and charged all the cells till they were full.

Thank you anwar. I remember you had suggested this on some thread earlier.

Cheers..

Do you mean that each cell volt went below the lowest value 3.2V(not sure about the lowest volt allowed). Cell going beyond this limit dies permenantely rgt?
Is there a way to bring them back?

I'm putting a 3 cell voltage alarm thingie in my Tx so hopefully i'll notice if i leave it on..

what i did is, added a diode so that when the cell volt is 12.6 it shows 10.0v in my transmitter. the transmitter beeps when the volts is 9 volts. The tx shuts down itself at 8.5(not sure, once with dry cell the tx turned off at 8.5v).
so i am safe. At 8.5v as show in tx my lipo is still at 11.1v

From HK too..

Thanks !  Looks like it came back in stock after a long time... I already ordered from Himodel though, and it is lower capacity
