Replacing connectors is perfectly safe as long as you take the proper precautions: only cut one wire at a time and finish soldering it to the new connector and covering the joint with heatshrink before cutting the other wire or else you risk shorting the battery which could blow it up! Once you're done double check that the polarity of the wires matches the polarity of the connector and you're good to go!
Yes, i use one of this in my transmitter, and it works great. Plenty of power, just need to recharge it once or twice per month.
Besides that, i believe that the transmitter you are talking about already comes with a JST plug, so lucky you :)
looking at the blade 130x it says that the battery should be 35c and this is only 20c so you might get in trouble, since this battery ant deliver the power as quickly as the heli needs
Well easy. Just put the JST plug onto the ESC. The batt comes with JST already fitted as per pic. U can find the ESC side JST plugs under battery connectors.
alcune volte la potenza della batteria non è effettiva a quello dichiarato e qui si spiega il peso della batteria.credo che la batteria turnigy abbia stessa potenza di rhino.io ne ho 2 della turnigy e sono veramente affidabili
Hi guys! As a hopeful newcomer to this hobby, I'm wondering what the most basic, cheap charger would be to charge these kind of lipo batteries from a normal wall outlet. Thanks!

Try this one Turnigy 2S 3S Balance Charger Direct 110/240v Input. Search for it in the charger zone, it costs $10. If you want better options, try the "just another charger". Bang/buck its better than this one since it can charge more stuff than just lipo alone.
when i charged this battery at 0.5 charge rate, the battery got a small rupture on the side of the battery, is it still safe to use? it is not puffed up. and what went wrong?
You can try to use it, but be very careful with it from now on. Keep it in a safe place (storage) and when charging and discharging, keep an eye on it.
The "c " rating tells you how much current is safe to draw from your battery. It doesnt allow your motor to run faster or anything just allows your setup to draw more amps from it.
The C rating is related to the battery capacity as follows: - this battery, being a 500mAh one, has a C of 500mA. So 20C = 20 x 500mA = 10,000mA or 10 amps. The rating means 10 amps is the largest current you should draw from the battery, otherwise you could damage it or reduce its life.
So if two batteries have the same capacity in mAh, but one is rated at 10C and the other at 20C, it means the 20C one can stand twice as high a discharge rate as the 10C one. Generally you will pay more f
Biensûre qu'elle peuvent alimenter 4 servos et un moteur en plus !
Elle sont ideales pour les avions en EPP indoor.
Puissantes, elle ont de l'autonomie...
Yes it can. I use it in the EasySky micro cessna. I'm using a 4th servo (HS-55) to power the flaps I added. The stock 6A ESC can also easily handle the 4th servo. Thought I was gonna need a separate BEC.
Quite often, smaller capacity batteries can be charged at higher than a 1C rate. HobbyKing states the max charge rate is 2C for this battery, this charger will be charging a 2.2C.
I can't say for sure, but I bet you can use this charger. If you do try it, monitor the battery closely the first time you charge it. Any sign of heating or puffing, stop charging. Charging at a higher than 1C rate will shorten the batteries life span though.
thanks for your replies! i see i've gotta buy another charger... but i just can't wait another 10 days to try these on my scratchbuild 200g plane! and these turnigy 500mah arrived just today!
I think that you could. Most small batteries can be charged at higher rates than larger. Just keep an eye on the battery during the charge, and if it starts getting a little hot or a little puffy then that means it is being charged to fast
if your planning on getting more than 1 flight every flying day then i sugest one of the quad chargers (4 chargers in 1) yes they cost more, but you can charge 4 batteries at once so it saves you loads of time, you might need a bigger psu tho if you plan on charging 4 6cell lipos at once
So would I be able to charge this battery with the big Turnigy 4x6S Lithium Polymer Battery Pack Charger (PRODUCT ID: TQ4)
do the batteries need to be charged at a certain voltage/amperage?
what would be the correct settings for this battery, if i were using that turnigy 4x6s? thanks for all the replys.
be possible if you carry that charger, according to load characteristics of Li-xx 1-6 and this battery is Li-xx 2. Just follow the instructions for uploading to the right that will be the current of the battery capacity or below. to have a long lifespan.
the magazine looks good.
indeed if any of the beam was useful answers will be given 20 cents*)
if your charging them on a quad charger then set each unit for 0.5 amps on a 7.4volt charge, rule of thumb when charging is 1000mah =a 1 amp if your doing a3 cell 1800mah lipo the charge would be 1.8 amps, so 500 mah = 0.5 amps hope that helps
The battery certainly fits, but the battery has a small capacity and only 2S so the plane will fly less and maybe even not at all able to fly. At the same time it is lighter than the recommended so they can be a problem with centering the aircraft. Better to use the recommended battery 3S 1000 mah
Usually you should check every month and they should be back in stock, but they sell out fast so its best to check often but expect them about every month.
I made may card few days ago, and tried to order. Although it was on stock, after having trouble at payment, I had to reorder it, but in few min. it became backorder unfortunately. I was planning to use it in a very small boat.
Yes it can. It depends on your ESC (it's BEC), how many servos it can supply. If you want to use it in a saleplane/glider than it's okay, you don't have to worry about.
Depends on the servos. I should run 4 of them easy. With most recivers, you would have to run a voltage regulator to bring the voltage down a little bit. 8.4V is too high for most RX/servos.
If you use an electric motor and an ESC then yes. If you airplane use a glow/gas engine you'll need a voltage regulator to lower the 7.4v to 4.8v or 6v and so not to burn the servos. Sorry my bad english.
Great deal!!! This is a real 500mAh battery. I tested their capacity in a digital charger after five cycles. I found 477mAh by discharge and 505mAh by charge. The size is correct described (30x55x10) and the weight is 3g less than described (33g). The wires are more than enough 90mm for the HX plug and 80mm for JST plug (balancig plug). Good choice for small models!!
Perfect battery pack. Made pretty light. They just do what they are meant to do:). Im using this batteries on a 80cm shockflyer and on a "holiday". I can fly about 10 minutes with this battery.
Motor I use is a 19 grams 2204 outrunner that you also can buy here at HC. with a 10A ESC it's a perfect combo:)
i use it on the 3D plane, this battery is not that heavy like Rhino battery, the 15Cis ok as small plane dont need such high C draw. its come with a female JST connector
