Mystery Batteries

I just bought 2 Mystery 2100's for my Belt CP. You see all types of responses to different batteries and if they are worth buying. For the price, are these pretty good batteries and as I am a newbie, can I use my charger that came with my Belt to charge them or do I need to get another charger? I also noticed that they did not come with dean's plugs on the wires. I bought some female dean's plugs and I guess they are fairly easy to put on the batteries.

the stock charger will work but it will take a looonnnggg time to charge.

Soldering new connectors is pretty easy, If you've never soldered before watch the second part of this vid, it has some basic info about soldering

I have four 7.4 v 900 Mah Mystery batts and one 11.1v 2100 Mah batt that i bought from Deal Extreme. I've been very pleased so far with them all and they came with the connectors allready on. I have an 11.1v 2400Mah batt on order from them now that I should receive this week. Far as I'm concerned they are pretty hard to beat as long as you're not in a hurry. Takes about two to three weeks to get your order.

Thanks for the info. I have a soldering iron and have soldered before but it helped to see how you did it. Guess I better start looking for me an Imax B 5 charger. Don't have an extra laying around anywhere Have to say up my nickels and get me one of those now.

Hi, mystery batteries are very light but strong. 2100 is too light for belt cp. I recommend 2400mah or 2650mah mystery batteries.

hello to all this is my first post. with the mystery battery you cant go wrong for the money you pay.
i have two 2200(they came with plugs) and one 2800. the 2200 i got in january from ebay, and i have charged each one more than 30 times, i get about 10-13 minutes on my king and my belt.

i also took the 2200 to my LHS for them to test, they got some gadget that stores the in flight info of the battery and then spits out a graph on the PC, and he said it looked pretty good compared to batteries three times the price on his shelf.

the 2800 i have only just got so i cant really coment i have only flown once with it, and it was a test flight on my belt, so i was up and down checking the setup.

im a big fan of stuff from china, its cheap and you dont cry when it breaks, because you didnt sell your soul
to buy it.

I agree. I have four 7.4v and two 11.1v and another on order that should be here this week. So far i have nothing but praise for them. :smiley-happy03

The Mystery brand in no mystery. Pretty good LIPO Batteries with high 'C' ratings and relatively decent prices. Get some, they are a good deal and value.



-Happy Flying !!!

I bought a Mystery Lipo 7.4v 900maH 2cell and was very satisfied with it.
However, Now it only holds 1 min of flght/hover time. This after 40+ charges.
One thing I noticed is that it use to take 45 - 60 min to fully charge, now the balancer states that its fully charged after only 25 min.

Do anyone think the problem is with the balancer or battery?

Do you have another Batt that you can test the charger with? and what type of charger is it?

The charger came from Exceed RC 50 RTF from Xheli. It can charge both 2 and 3 cell lipos.
I've been charging a 3Cell Lipo (also came with RC 50) with this charger with no problem - though its 3Cell not 2. Dont know if that makes a difference.
