2004 DBF Q&A #8
14 April 2004



Q: Are non Ni-Cad batteries allowed for non flight essential devices ?

A: All on-board batteries must be NiCad.  This restriction is being held due to safety concerns with unsupervised charging of alternate battery chemistry, most specifically related to LiPoly batteries.
