Battery question?

These ARE very good battries!!! I have 6 of these and they work great. There a little big for my HBK2 but a small amount of lead solves that. When I'm just doing hoovering excercises in hte basement I'm gettin about 12 -15 min. I do think that I run them a little long but they still charge back up and never get too hot. I am going to start checking volts as soon as I figure a easy way for me to do it.
Since were talkin bout this whats a good batt. checker? You know one with a light to mount on the bird.

PS the batts are on backorder right now so get your order in for the next shipment.

I never bought a lipo monitor, I just make note of how long I was flying and when I stick the battery back on my charger I see how much power is left and try to adjust my flight times accordingly, but generally I keep all my flights limited to 6min, I start losing concentration after that so its good to take a break

I guess I had better start looking at the pictures better. I overlooked and didn't buy this batt because the description says it's a 4.2v batt, but looking closely at the picture it's obviously a 3 cell, 11.1 v batt. I think I'll try one of these next time I order a batt. Thanks for the link.

The Zippy Flightmax is a great value for the price. The other brand is the Rhino Series which has a higher 'c' rating. Both can be found at hobbycity. It's worth the wait from China.

That is the one I use too. I buy them 4-5 at a time whenever I order from HC. I just round out the shipping weight.

That makes sense. These LIPO Batteries sell out fast. Best to get a bunch before they sell out. Also place yourself on their mailing list for restocking. You'LL get an e-mail of when the battery is available.

noted !

thanks !

On ebay you can get two Mystery 2200 mah 11.1v 20c lipos for $40 SHIPPED.
