Hi! I don't know what's going on here... For me it seems like HK is going to disappear from the LiPo market... THIS IS ONLY MY POINT OF VIEW. It does not realte to any official information or something like that! I have a look at the stock of the German warehouse, daily - since weeks. Regarding my needs (3S 2000-2250mAh Zippy/Turnegy) there is NOTHING. Nearly all types are out of stock. Here, in the international warehouse, the situation seems to be going the same way. It's getting less. Day for day. It's flying seasong, guys! So what's up?!

Its a good idea to put em on the wishlist with email alert. In case the batteries are in stock you can quickly buy them before someone else does *-)
My flight season will begin in some weeks so hopefully all orders reach me in time.

Jason, what’s going on with the battery stock? Zippy’s have been out of stock for weeks if not months…flying season has started and we need batteries. I have looked at other places already but I keep waiting one more week hoping HK will restock…

As of 4-17-10, how long have these been on backorder. I am reading some older posts and am trying to figure out if those orders were ever filled?

what do you think is better for trex 450...this one or 2200 4s 20C...which will give more constant head spead? ... 3s packs usually loose it when pitch is 11.

A better question is "for how long will you have to buy them?".....before all the resellers scarf them all up by buying in large quantities!

A small suggestion: 22AWG balancer wires for fast serial charging using splitter (2x3S). 24AWG wires are fine for max 3 A.
|
|
|
| |
|
Beaufighter
(25%)
The flightmax is to my knowledge rated max 1C charging, so it should be OK. 2.2A is the max charge rating for this battery... Why would they want to increase the weight (and price) for something that is neither recommended nor permitted, anyway?
Btw The 3A rating for 24AWG is a design max, and meant for "longer" cables and contious use. A battery is charged for one hour twice a week, and has a 5cm (1.5") lead, not long cable and contious use.

Why? Because it's possible to balance-charge these 30C accumulators at 2C. They suggest to limit charging current just to preserve its life span. At airfield there is no time for mercy*) Design current or else - charging through balancer wires at e.g. 4 A is impossible due to voltage drop. I've got another accus with short 22AWG wires. Zippy! Don't stay behind!

It is possible to charge a battery on 2C even if not rated, but they will stop working quite fast, and it is outside the specification (and they may burst, due to internal resistance not being within the "2C grade") Why should all other customers pay for an upgrade beyond the needed? If they rated the batt for 2C charge, then I would see your point.
Bring 4 batteries to the airfield and fly for an hour, or bring 8 and fly for two, is the usual way. Use one dual charger, and you charge two batteries pr hour, bring two, and you're good to go for the whole day through:)

|

Nipster

Short answer, yes they would be OK, long answer you'd still notice a difference in power if you were to use a 2200 30c 6S. There is increased resistance due to the extra wires, connectors etc when using 2 batteries.

Is there any chance HC will ever release a 2s 2200mah 30C pack? This would be very useful for those that want to run 4s or 5s!!! You should do it HC!!!

Can someone please confirm the width of this battery? Is it actually 36mm or 34mm? I've got the 25c version for my MPX Blizzard. HC say it's 36mm wide but it is actually 34mm (same at the 20C version - This just about fits inside the blizzard).

Put them in MT325 doing mild 3D, 30+cycles now, still hold the punch till the last 11.1V & come down only luke warm, so does it a good choice for MT325, u decide..*)

Buy two 3-cell Lipo Drums of 11.1 V, 30 C - 50 C Burst, to be used with a 40 - Amp Brushell Esc E-BEC with dual flit and an electric motor E-flit 480 1020Kv, I doubt that batterie use of that configuration can Brushell or wrecking the engine.
That is my question, I would be grateful if you could guide.
