A battery charger may accommodate simultaneous charging of one or more batteries. The battery charger may also accommodate high power charging of a single battery. Li-type and/or Ni-type Batteries equipped with RFID technology may communicate with the battery charger equipped with similar technology to provide default charge settings in response to battery chemistry type, cell count, recommended charge rates, number of charges on the battery, among other information. The charge parameters may be user-adjustable in an 'advanced mode' of the battery charger. Several safety features may be included.

Battery charger with user interface

A battery single charger may accommodate Li-type and Ni-type batteries, having default charge settings and user-adjustable charge parameters in an 'advanced mode'. Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries equipped with RFID technology and integrated balance taps may communicate with a device such as a battery charger equipped with similar technology providing information such as chemistry type, cell count, recommended charge rates, number of charges on the battery, among other types of information. Several safety features may be included.

Using a trick flight control process, a pilot may fly an aircraft while having control over two axes of orientation while the aircraft may be rotating automatically about a third axis of orientation. The pilot may continue to fly the aircraft during an automated trick rather than relinquishing control completely to the aircraft's electronics.

Controllable flight during automated tricks
