This project will allow you to build a battery for the LAB599 TX-500 radio.
The batteries used are LIPO batteries from Amazon.
NOTE: THIS PROJECT DOES NOT USE 18650 CELLS!
The 5,000mAh battery is commonly used in RC cars and planes.
The 3,000mAh batteries are commonly used for electronic projects.
The POGO Pin choices are to use the POGP Pin adaptor, and purchase just the pins and insert them into the adaptor, OR purchase the actual 3 pin magnetic POGO pin connector that will fit.
Both back are provided, one for the hand made (by you) POGO Pin adaptor, and the other will take the prefab POGO pin assembly.
