I sent him this message: You sir are an A$$HOLE for selling these at almost 4 TIMES their price! And for taking up stock that other GOOD people sometimes wait months for. Last year I had to wait 3 months for my paid order for 24 of these to ship out. It was for an ebike project that I worked on for 2 years, and the end game of the build was delayed that long......Bu11$hit! I thought about doing what your doing as I'm sure many have, but we're not for a reason.. I hope you grow a conscience! You are part of the American PROBLEM! Idiot A$$HOLE...

 gitech001 76 points

He responded as follows: CHA CHING..... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Why don' t you buy some at $25 and sell them back on ebay for $25 then... dumb ass - als-toybarn-usa MY RESPONSE: WOW, did you read that the real problem is other people having to wait months for paid orders? Are you really that cold? Thanks for your response, let the games begin. I and hundreds to thousands of others will now begin to reveal you for who you really are in every forum and by other any other means...I know who you are already! The internet is on to you *) ***SO PEOPLE do your part and destroy this butt head.***

 gitech001 76 points

He responded again as follows: It doesn't matter... my target customers are NOT on RCTECH or other forums.. Go spend some more time bitching in the forums... no harm to me. - als-toybarn-usa MY RESPONSE: You are an "American". That is for sure! So am I, but "not like you". You must be one of those hateful, hurtful, selfish, hypocritical christian republicans, full of cognitive dissonance. I pity you. ***SO PEOPLE do your part and destroy this butt head.***

 Turbotre 72 points

I got a couple more,good thing I didn't wait,they were gone in less than 90 minutes!

 Monkeyflowz 8 points

wow gone after i purchase 4 with an email alert of instock..these are great prices cant go wrong with them

 Turbotre 72 points

2A will take forever,5A will take over an hour if it is completely discharged.You can charger at a higher rate,if your charger can handle it.

 Alexander 5 points

I have the Quattro charger from here, as well as the 540W Power Supply. So you are saying that I should definetly use 5A on all channels then? 7.5 would be the limit of the power supply...

 Turbotre 72 points

5A will work good,if you're not in a big hurry.The last 20% of charge,takes almost as long as the first 80%.I usually charge a pair of them at 10A.

 Bob 4 points

usually 203 weeks to get back int ostock. Be patient, they are worth the wait!

 Jonathan 1 points

Thanks for buying up all the batteries so they are now out of stock *)

 Jayls5 10 points

Haha, I actually got them over an extended period of time. I didn't even buy any from the last shipment* I just figured I'd give some information to prospecting buyers.

Mine have not puffed yet. they are great for the price!

 Koo29 230 points

It is actually 30C continuous :o A member at rcgroups tested this battery with his powerlab and concluded that it really was 30C. So to answer your question, it is at least 20C.

 Sonny 1 points

Thanks. Do you have a link to that test?

Turnigy seems to rate the battries accurate, I have had a few and all live up to said mah and c rate, just remember to take care charging them and dont discharge them too low.

 froghunter641 2 points

I ORDERED 4 OF THESE AND WOULD RECOMMED THESE. GREAT PRICE AND QUALITY! SORRY,DON'T COUNT CYCLES, UP TO 20 CYCLES NOW.

 zanek 95 points

I have had some of my Turnigy batts for probably 100 cycles. They are still going strong. I have had other brand batteries that are 3-4x the price and last up to 150 cycles.

 Terrence 1 points

What normally kills the batteries and drastically shortens the life cycle is running the battery until your cell(s) drop below the 3.7v mark. I try to keep the cells at about 3.9v to be safe. I set a timer on my watch, drive normally, then check the cells at 5, 10, 15 minutes and check the voltage. When I hit the 3.9v mark, I switch out the battery, let the other one cool, and get back on track. The pricing is economical so get a couple of batteries cycle them and you can pretty much run all

 Sam77 8 points

Life cycle, in my experience, depends upon how well you use/abuse the pack. Utilize your onboard voltage cutoffs for LiPos and use a good balancing charger (I use a Triton 2 EQ charger and it lets me monitor individual cell voltage). With that said, I have several Turnigy soft side LiPos for my planes and they have lasted quite a long time. I have no reason to expect any less from these hard packs I've bought.

 Spencer! 1 points

around 100 plus as a low estimate

 frogs 161 points

If you use a balance charger and keep the packs within the voltage you indicated you can expect 250 charge cycles or more.

 IwannaTT 3 points

If balanced and lipo cutoff is used, they will last as long as any top dollar lipo. If they are ran down too low multiple times their life will be much shorter..sorry there isn't an exact number of cycles

 Jacob 1 points

Yes, I am running a 40 amp Esc so that is more than overkill.

 frogs 161 points

yes, I use with a 100 amp esc.

 froghunter641 2 points

I USE THESE BATTERIES IN PLANES WITH 70 HV ESC, IN SERIES FOR 29.6 VOLTS!

 zanek 95 points

I have it in a system that pulls 20 amps constant and is rated for 220amps peak and it is fine

 Spencer! 1 points

Yes Easily, plenty of amps

 James 1 points

I run it with an 80 A ESC It has lots of power and raises the front end of my 4wd 1/8 scale buggy!! VERY GOOD BATTERY!!!

 Michael 1 points

i cant say that i like ...the battery i got had a dead cell so im waiting for hobbyking to do somthing about so right now im unsatisfied with the product..

 Joesabre 10 points

I would use the 13.2 volt alarm, typically you would use a voltage cutoff of 3.0 volts per cell.

 yann 1 points

im verry desapointed ....more than 2 week and is not shipped yet ..and they have in stock more than10 ...i dont understand what the joke ,but they lost a good costumer !!!

 Jacob 1 points

exactly, full juice is 3.7v per cell

 frogs 161 points

If you want the most charge cycles out of your batteries listen to the 14.8 volt allarm.

 renegadebigdog 21 points

always keep it above 3.2 v per cell and it'll last forever.

 Spencer! 1 points

12.0 volts is the minimum and a good guideline

 frogs 161 points

I would also say stay above 14.8 volts to get more cycles out of the batteries.

 jla12 3 points

the red and black wires are the power cables that hooks up to the motor and also your charger. Don't charge your batteries in a series. You charge the batteries in parallel instead. To run the motor you can hook the batteries in series ,but not when charging. The 5 wire connection is the balance plug, it makes all the cells in the pack equal to each other when you charge.

 SCOOTAH! 2 points

The red and black wires are the discharge wires that connect to the controller. The 5 wire cable from each battery is the balance wire that connects to each individual cell. You can buy a charger that charges the battery through the balance plug for an easier setup but most chargers also need the red and black wire hooked up to them too. I use the $25 hextronik hx8080 charger for these batteries for a four-hour charger per pack. I actually bought two chargers so I can charge both packs at the same time!

 frogs 161 points

If you want to find out more on using lithium batteries go to instructables**** and search The New and Improved Brushless Electric Scooter Power System Guide. I found the post to be very helpful.

 al 19 points

You connect them in series [esc ] <> [bat ][bat-] <> [bat ][bat-] <> [bat ][bat-] <> [esc-]

 al 19 points

It doesn't show the plus sign [ ]

 jla12 3 points

use the connectors already on the batteries main power line to connect them. connect the positive to the negative than that negative to another positive.

 SCOOTAH! 2 points

You can cut the red housing to separate the red wire from the black wire if you want. So you connect the black wire from battery A to the red wire from battery B. Then the black wire from battery B is connected to the red wire from battery C. So you will get the 12s 48 volts using the red wire from battery A and the black wire from battery C. Hope this helps.

 renegadebigdog 21 points

create a harness for that and then you can still charge them normally.

 Edward 1 points

these packs are light already, it will become very delicate if you remove the case. your risk of a fire is almost guaranteed, if running inside a car.

 Jon 1 points

The weight savings would not be worth the hassle of splitting the plastic case and risking damaging one of the cells.

 Andrew 8 points

the wieght is not enough to worry about....just like in a real car you have to remove 1000 pounds to gain a second...at least in drag racing...but i run this battery and its not worth the risk to remove the hard case

 turbodriven 16 points

I think everyone is missing the point here. I am using this in an FPV airplane application, not car. So even 2oz. might be enough to help.

 Koo29 230 points

Hey turbo, I completely get your point but I don't think removing the case is worth the effort. If you check the 5000mah 4s battery just below this, the weight (not the shipping one) is claimed to be 536 grams. On this one, its 528 lol. I don't know how they make that happen but really not worth the time

 renegadebigdog 21 points

If you remove it from the case(voiding the warranty) I would shrink wrap it. but they must have a similar battery you can purchase for it without the case.

 RCSuperAddiction 6 points

i know same for me p.s. i ordered some :P

 mikeyrc 7 points

ended up getting too impatient and ordered some nano techs. I'll be getting mine eventually.

 Joesabre 10 points

It should work fine my son runs one in his e buggy that he races with a castle 2200.

 grandy1982 5 points

you will be fine im running them in a losi 8t with a mamba monster and a 2650 with good resolts but i bout three and only two would balance and still waiting on warranty that im not sure will happen.

 IwannaTT 3 points

They run great in my xb808E with 2200kv

 Rokcster 169 points

No mistake. I just got a pair three days ago. I can't say how good they are yet because I have not tried them yet. But I can say I have 8 of the same 4s Turnigy hardcase 30c batteries, they are great!!! I use them in a high current boat application and they are better than other 40c batteries I've used. They consistently take 5500mah when charging. They are Under rated. Such a deal! Rokcster

 tomuchgoodstuff 7 points

these are great for the price about the same size as similar 4500 30c 4s pack for half the price! cant beat it!

 Smizzaz 16 points

I just ordered 4 of them! The price is just unbeatable!

 mike123141 260 points

Rokcster have you gone out to try these 20C packs as of yet? If so, what do you think?

 Rokcster 169 points

Sorry to say I have not used them yet as my boat motor's bearings need replacing. (Castle 1518 1Y 1800kv) Probably be another 7-10 days before it's fixed. I also have 6 pairs of the same Turnigy 20c 2 cell 5000mah hard case batteries, and they are also outstanding performers. I run them in series in a UL1 hydro, Blackjack 26, and a Miss Geico catamaran, all running Aqua Craft 2030kv motors. I have GPS'D the black jack at 40.6 mph and the Geico is faster. I have great confidence in these batteries. Try me back next week and I'll tell you how they did. Rokcster

 mike123141 260 points

Hey guys, finally got my packs in (I got 4). Ran them in my 1/8th scale Thunder Tiger EB4 G3 Buggy. Got about 30 minutes of running in the grass at my park, doing speed runs and jumps on the hills. Motor was near the overheat mark, battery was warm, not hot. Considering that is the most draw this pack will see, I'm not too concerned. My Gens Ace packs are rated at 40C and they get hotter than these packs. The Turnigy packs had similar punch to the 40C packs, except for the last 2 minutes or so of runtime (right before the cutoff) and I was noticing a slower car, but considering these packs are 1/3rd of the price as the Gens Ace packs, I'm not complaining. So in general, these packs are fantastic for practice sessions, and probably even racing, except for the final 2 minutes of runtime (in which you'd probably want to just change the pack out anyway). Let me know if you guys have any questions about them!

 Chris 2 points

I just received two. almost perform as good as my gens ace 40c. both were balanced fine when i received them. if you dont need roar approval buy these!

 lance 3 points

I just got my first two of these in the mail (I have dozens of turnigy batteries, these are just the first 4s hardcases). they showed up balenced perfectly at 3.86 per cell, all cells on both batteries! I dont think I will ever buy a different brand, They are the best value out there. Hotbodies ve8/rc8/slash/revo/////etc.

 rene 7 points

What kind of balance taps does this usr? Thinking of getting some for my emaxx and other little projects. I have an astro blinky balancer would that work?? Thanos a bunch!

 Pronghorn 15 points

The battery has jst-xh balance taps. I believe they would fit your blinky balancer.

 grandy1982 5 points

i like them but i bout 3 and one of the three out of the box wont balance and keeps erroring out on both stan alone hyperion balancers and the turnigy mega 200x2 lipo charger anyone know how to get it warantied?
