probably about 5 mins. try that as a start, then check your battery level. if it still has capacity left. try six minutes. hope helps

about 8 minutes

Marcus, if you wanna use this pack in a t-rex 600, you'll need a high voltage setup to allow you use 8s. Flight time will depend of your throttle and pitch curves. Normal curves, no 3D, guess you can get more than eight minutes in air. see ya

Thanks for the info, cheers Marcus.

Guildy93, what high voltage setup would you recommend? I was planning on useing my Hobbyking SS Series 90-100A ESC teamed up with my Turnigy Typhoon 600H Heli Motor 1100kv, what battery would you recommend with this setup (I intend to fly mild 3D) ? Cheers Marcus

I don't have this exact pack, but I use 2 4S5000mAh packs giving me 8S5000mAh on my HK600GT. I do this using a Superbrain 100A ESC and the Turnigy 880KV motor (the red one). Works great. I get about 12 minutes of hovering or sport flying out of it. If you do 3D, will be less.

doctorsrb whats ya prob? According to your post below you solved your prob then rudely said "thanks for nothing" to the one person that offered help. Why would anyone else offer advice after that?

Love the packs size but 2 out of the 4 packs came with several cells below 1.5V. I have been trickling them up to voltage very slowly per cell but it has taken several days and the low cells are weak and do not balance. Warranty is pointless as I have to register post them to Hong Kong which costs a lot of money. Have not used them on my ebike yet or put them under any load. It says in the warranty that all cells are checked for voltage, it just can not be so as 5 cells out of 32 (4 x 8S pack) were below 2volts.

So my first order for 4 x 5.8ah 8 cell Turnigy Long packs came and 2 of the packs had cells that were around 0.8V! One of the packs decided to sort of work ok...the other discharges the dud cell very quick and it also charges way to quick on that one cell. I order a replacement as I need a 16Cell 11.6Ah pack, the single pack arrived yesterday and again cell 8 is very low at 1.2V with the rest of the cells at 3.85V What the hell is up with quality control? It says that they check the packs twice for voltages? I don't think so.... 3 out of 5 bad packs is just too much, sure I could send them back to China at my cost which is as much as the packs cost nearly when you take into account Insurance and UK postal costs. Really not impressed!

I have just received 2 of the same pack and I have got a similar problem.It definitely looks like a lack of checking before sending out. Not overly happy wither.

Simple buy one of the many chargers from here that can handle 8S batteries! Your local hobby shop wants you to send it back as HE only stocks 6S capable battery chargers!!!!

After some experimentation and almost destroying my TP-210, I figured out a wiring configuration that works perfectly with the above stated equipment. All you need are 2 5S TP connectors and the correct combination of wire connections. You don't need a new 8S recharger from Hobby King. Thanks for nothing.

I see you need a balance adapter. I looked and did not see one. I am not a big fan of Thunder Power. Thunder Power uses a different plug for their battery's. Thunder Power's 6 cell packs uses two balance plugs. I think they are silly. The Turnigy and Zippy Flightmax battery's use the same balance tap as E-Flite. I use a Accucel 8 charger charging my stuff at 7 amps. I would take back the Thunder Power charger and balancer. You can buy two Accucel 8 charger's and more battery's with the money saved from the charger and balancer. I do not know where to get a 8 cell balance adapter for the Thunder Power charger. I looked online and do not think one exists yet. I would email thunder Power. You can charge these with the lipo charge setting in your charger. You would need to buy a battery balancer for 8 cells to match this battery's balance tap. I could not find a 8 cell lipo balancer online either. If it were me I would sell the Thunder power charger and get the Imax or Turnigy charger. Sorry I was not much help.

I found this 8S JST-XH TO 8S THUNDERPOWER adapter online at progressiverc****. It shold not be too hard to find. The adapter was $4.99 dollars. Cheer up people do help out once in a while.

 Greenfuelboy 162 points

The cable I mentioned is backwards for you to use. They sell cables that you can solder to make your own adapter. I would goto progressiverc**** and email them to get the two cables you need to make a nice cable.

Yes, it fits perfect in the Logo 600. Gives me around 10 min flight time. Perfect Batterie, no Cell drift.
I'll buy more of those.

 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points

Well, it's time to upgrade your rusty old Graupner for a 6S of above balancing charger.

 moller123456 649 points

You can get a Imax B-8 for 59.95$ on this page:D It can ballance up to 8s...

 Dave1 114 points

Well my graupner charger is a high quality one and serves me well. It's just the balancer. I was wrong though, mine balances up to 6s. Not helping for 6s+ packs though *)

 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points

Graupner source their chargers from the same manufacturers as we do. Let me know which model you have and I will tell you who makes it.

 cferrell 39 points

You get or make an adapter plug and charge the pack 4s at a time. Basically treat it as 2 x 4s with that charger. Not optimal, but it'll work.

 A-L-I-G-N 371 points

I think this battery can be used Smash any pickpocket on the street, i bet they would be knocked out straight away over the head... :-)

 Eric1180 2278 points

Then throw the exploding battery at the other guy ...... I just had a idea..

If you threw this thru someone's widow would it act like a Molotov. I guess a Molotov V2.0 Hmmm...

 moller123456 649 points

Eric Just ad something sharp in front of battery/molotov:-P
