Dear davidpc2, I personally recommend using reliable Lipo or LIFE type batteries, say 2-5 c rating. Do not allow more current to pass through the components of TX. High current entering into a TX and its sensitive components will sure impact the TX in short or long run. I use HYPERION batteries, from KOREA low current rating. Also use LIPPY for my JR RADIO9X, quite good and happy with this. Do not spend time time doing R & D if you can get a good battery with in build regulator. Happy Flying

Thanks nrajesh, as it was a new question, I didn't saw it, and was not notified to my email. I will keep waiting for a flat LiFe pack on 3S for Tx. As I said, I had a problem with a Tx and will not try again, just in case. Your answer has given my Tx more life... :) Cheers

How many cycles can it survive? How long do you use your pack? What is the capacity after 1000, 5000, 10000 cycles?

Zippy: Great value for money. Average Cycle Life* (100 ) and minimal voltage sag under load. check here: www.link

Anyone knows if this will fit into a Futaba 3PK car TX?

In my Futaba 3PM it's just enough space for it, so i think 3PK take it too, couse i'ts larger TX than 3PM.

the Producto ID: ZIP25003S3C fits perect on my TG9X. Only 3,5 usd more and gives you much more capacity and less weight For a Tx you don´t need 30C discharge rating

Does anyone know the fully charged voltage and if different from a li ion battery? I have been told 3.65 volts per cell or 10.95 for this battery. A tight fit for my Airtronics RD8000.

Hi voltioloco do you know if is there any problem to use this 30C for a transmitter? can it damage it ? I need a flat pack life and can't find. Thanks

Do not use 30 C for transmitter, always go for 2 to 4 c rating, and 1800 to 2200 mah. Also check the existing battery dimension before ordering the new pack. Happy & safe flying.Raj

Hi nrajesh, dimensions are OK but can 30C damage the Tx ? or it is just because we don't need so much load ? I can't find a life flat pack for Tx in HK, waiting for long time they offer one. Thanks

30C is just a max discharge rate and therefore cannot damage a TX. For your TX, just check if the voltage is what is required. That's it.

Hi, this is my homework mate, this is the purpose of asking anyone who can help on the answer. Also I was asking because once I damaged a Tx because of using a lipo... Thanks ny the way guys

Hi Davidpc2, you can't damage a tx because of the c-rating. Your previous tx was mostly damaged due to the higher voltage of a lipo as compared to Life batt. A fully charged 3S lipo is typical at 12.6V while a fully charge 3S LiFe batt is typical at 10.6V. Check the no. of 1.5V batt your TX is currently using. If it is using 8x1.5v nimh cells, then using a lipo is possible. If it is using 6x1.5v nimh cell, then you are safer off using a LiFe batt instead.

That's nonsense. C-rating isn't voltage.

SHOREBIRD, I sell these packs for airsoft, and always cycle them prior to use. The peak on 3S LiFes is 12.6V. Which is roughly 4.2V per cell. I use the IMax B6AC which is preset for LiFe batteries.

Use this for Tx as max voltage is 9.9v and can't damage Tx

I use it on a easystar 2,at peak power the plane takes approx. 15A and i can fly for more then a half hour.It has already survived more then one crash.I also use it to power the receiver of an FPV system.I accidently drained the battery completly and no damage! (I never use lipo,only LifePo4 from hobbyking).
