You use the 1s 3.7 lipos in your mods??? Do you have charging circuit in the mod or use balance charger externally? got any pics of mods with internal flat cell lipos?... O am getting parts together for a build that has red jst pig tail for external hookup of rc lipo paks.

Yes, I use the 1S cells and put a booster and charging circuit on the PCB I mount them to (tabs soldered). For a single cell, you only need a single Li-Ion charger chip, no balancing charger required. I use a mini-B USB connector for the charger, but only on the latest. I used a barrel connector on the last one. They're actually better than USB for current capacity and longevity, but the USB connectors are smaller, well more flat actually, and I'm trying to make this mod as small as I can.
