I think that it could work within the existing layout... in the Add/Modify Log box, under Flight Pack Usage (possibly renamed ?Battery Usage? to include RX packs), you would select a ?Charge? that was previously entered, if no charges were entered you could just select a battery as it is now, this could be use for flight packs, RX packs or both, and I suppose even TX pack could be included. There should also be a way to mark a charge as depleted so that only current charges would be available to choose from. What I?m looking for in the end is when looking at a specific flight I?d like to see the charge (or charges with the RX and TX packs included) that provided that flight. Typically in E-flight one charge = one flight, but with the new battery technology like LiPoly you can get multiple flights form one flight pack charge.
As far as additional charge information, first I?d like to suggest a change in the Add/Modify box, I think the Charge Type (fast/slow) is a bit redundant when recording the Charge Rate. Instead I?d like to see the Charge Type list expanded to include:
Full Peak Charge (this is the typical charge for depleted flight packs)
Re-peak (charges that are hours old are often re-peaked just before flight, the Top Up options could cover this)
Trickle Charge
Along with noting the charger used a space for general comments to recording things like air or battery temperature or interrupted charge (I don?t like to leave the charger running when I leave the house), might be useful.

P.S. With the type of flying your doing I can see that a E-heli could lack something, for me it?s a perfect fix, this time of year I wouldn?t get much flying time if it weren?t for my little Eco 8... You cant beat side in hovering practice in your driveway under the lights at 9:00PM.
