ZIPPY Flightmax 350mAh 2S 20C

 Gerry01 2884 points

How did you measure capacity? Discharging it fully? I have 2, both have a real out-of-the-box capacity of 320 mAh. Measured doing a full charge and discharge cycle.

no wonder i got that weird readings....one of the batts has lost its charge just after recharged...myb some rejects batt been relabeling

 iflylilplanes 266 points

I had 3 of these packs, all exceeded expectations. Two of the have been warn out, over a hundred flights each and disposed of. The third is still working well. The small size and weight of these packs is a big plus. As to the capacity anomaly, it never worried me.

Les 2-3 premières charges c'est normal que la batterie soit chargée au-delà de 350 maH

great little batteries - opened out the mini (should be micro) tiger moth bay to suit them and just never let me down - always charge to full capacity

It would be perfect for it, but if the nose is too heavy,you should put sg to the tail.

 Gerry01 2884 points

I guess that you should ask this question in the discussion section of the charger. The batteries itself are normal 2-cell lipos, I have 2 of them an both work well. Good luck!

 Superelectric 256 points

what connector you use to charge the battery. red or white ?

 telmix 4 points

Thank you for reply! I´*m a hobby beginer but I know what I´*m doing, the red connector is to plug on the ESC and the white connector is to plug on the charger. So, the reply to your question is white connector.

 Superelectric 256 points

sorry telmix. i did no say you are beginer. by the way. welcome to the best hobby in the world. thats why i'm asking you. you have the basic charger. that have 2 plug entry. one for 2S and other for 3S using the balance plug as a charger. most regular chargers you plug the red to charger and white in balancer. anyway. ok saying this. try to look insithe the plug and look if the pins are all in the same level. and the same with the connector. or move the battery white plug to check if it is loose.

At 3.8v they have accepted no charge. these are only small 350mah batteries. have you tried charging them at a lower current ie 0.5a if both batteries are the same I suspect it is your charger or a setting on your charger that is wrong.

 DJ Danielus 339 points

Yes, I have both: F86 Sabre (ARF) and this LiPo pack. Battery fit OK (not perfect - you must find the correct place for it and for cables). As I can see, the RTF version include LiPo charger with balancer for 2S LiPo packs like this, so you can use it *-)

 Superelectric 256 points

Yes you can..i also upgrade mine to make it fast..you just need batt rhino 3S 350mah ,9A ESC, same motor ..your charger is the same it support 3S..but you have to change ESC to a 9A..flys like a bullet

I think you can simply change to JST Female 2 pin connector. today is in stock here

 Superelectric 256 points

because there is not adapter for JST-Losi connection you have to make your own..the good part is that you will keep this for any other JST battery..ok you have to buy losi connector part number W5102 and JST part number AM-9017A cut a little the cables and connect red/red ..black/black..make shure to use shrink tube or buy just the JST connectors without cable and connect it same cable

 jerome 6 points

You must change the connector Losi with the JST Connector in order to simplify the connection and to avoid that the connection burn during a run with mini Losi(my experience)

 Cardinals 77 points

Search for HobbyKing PRODUCT ID: AM-9017A and connect on your micro crawler. Cool car by the way!

 losiboy 2 points

hey definately change the plugs to mini deans because they are a much better plug imo and they also carry power better

 DJ Danielus 339 points

It can be happend, when you order a lot of small elements or choose the cheapest postage like international air mail...

 Gerry01 2884 points

Got 2 of these on different orders, one was on a 100gr package, no problems.

fit perfect on losi mini 4wd

 zanek 95 points

You should contact hobbyking, because by then it should be at least 'reserved' and should have shipped by then

it happend to me it will come through

 erick 6 points

its probably on its way they just haven't updated it yet. i have found that hobby king is kinda slow on things like this.

 mattio79 120 points

looking at mathematics and the time of your post, it was chinese new year and they were out of the office for a week, so they got a double- dose of orders and it took longer than it ordinarily would for the same time span to catch up

 Reuel 1 points

that happened to me to and they said the were closed for 2 weeks for the Chinese New year don't worry :)

 boingk 257 points

I charge these at 0.8A (about 2.5C) and they charge in around 18~22 minutes depending on how much I used. I get run times of 7 minutes or more with my small flying wing powered by the 10g Hextronik 2000kv outrunner with GWS 4040 prop. HOpe that helps.

 hibobcheese 6 points

i get about 15 min with mine on the losi 8250kv brushless motor. it takes mine about 20 min to charge at 1A. i like this battery a lot, definitely recommended.

 Dhengineer 42 points

I used 4040 40g BLmotor 10Amp ESC and my flight for 4-5 minutes in my mini Cox F4U corsair.

 Billy 2 points

Hi, Myself and a Friend are using this battery in our Losi MRC pro builds with 280 sized brushed motors on Tekin B1R's and find the average run time per battery to be about 18 - 25 minutes depending on how many times you have to spin the wheels. Awesome battery for the size and at the price you can afford to walk around with 4 or 5 in your pocket

 MisterL 3 points

with the original motor it would run 15-20 minutes without any problems. but you have to check the motor doesn't get too hot, the original mounting plate will become soft. best you purchase the aluminium mounting plate then you have fun with no limits. charging time at 0.8A approximately the same.

 zanek 95 points

I don't have this exact battery, but I have a 350mah 3s, and with the Losi micro brushless motor and Turnigy ESC I can run for about 1/2 hour. So I would guess about 20-25mins on the stock system

 mattio79 120 points

I charged this at 700 milliamps. (0.7A) it would charge in about 30 minutes, stay balanced and
I would expect a 30 minute runtime.

 erick 6 points

i know i get 20 mins with my 1/24 crawler. i would suggest charging them at .3A otherwise they will not last very long and it should take about 1 hour to charge.

super akkus halten gut und sind für den preis bestens

 mattio79 120 points

yes they fit the micro sct/rally. i have the rally and it fits very snugly, as far as connectors, i would go to my local losi-supplying hobby shop and order the losi micro plug and have them solder/crimp one on for you. i have a "common sense RC Balance PRO" balancer and a Multiplex ln-5014 charger. i have never had any problems with it and i have been using it for about 7 years now. no kidding!!

 mattio79 120 points

20 gauge.

 zanek 95 points

18 or 20 awg

 erick 6 points

 mattio79 120 points

it can take up to 30 days for stock to arrive. each day you are without a model to run seems like an eternity. i feel your pain. but there is no sense in worrying. it will happen. what you should do is sign up for email notification of stock.

 parkflyer29 5 points

yes, it's ok

 mattio79 120 points

i am not an expert on flying. you will have to break out a measuring device (calipers do wonders)

 Thorsten 8 points

Yes, i use this in my Nine Eagles Xtra-300. Flighttime will be about 10 minutes.

 Peter 2 points

what is recomended for the plane? if only 1 cells are recomended i would say no. if 2 cells are ok by the manufacture then go ahead.

 fcanon 5 points

and work with the NE extra 300?, can you use the same charger?

 nitro 158 points

yes it will but it will be a tight fit

 mattio79 120 points

i am not an expert on flying. you will have to measure your plane's battery bay. leave yourself a little wiggle room. an interference (too big) fit is bad for your plane and hard on the shrinkwrap.

 steliosh 65 points

No it wont... I tried it! It's a bit longer than needed so it wont fit in the battery tray.

 mattio79 120 points

neither, it will more easily fit the Losi Micro SCT and Rally (1/24 scale) i bought it for this purpose and it works flawlessly. honestly, it might fit the DT, but i'd measure to be sure. i think the battery bay might be a bit shallow, but measure to be sure. the current measurements on the website are accurate

 icarusLSU 5 points

Hi there I am getting a SCT as well and was curious what you did about the connector? Did you change the SCT's connector or just replace the connector for each battery you purchase? Would there be enough room in the SCT to have a small adapter rather than changing the plug? Thanks for any info www.link

 mattio79 120 points

i would get the micro deans and swap out connectors. the micro rally and sct both have a 2s lipo lvc. i would not trust it though. the differentials in those vehicles are also pathetic. i upgraded to a brushless system and it has destroyed 3 diffs. the plastic they use for the ring and pinion as well as the diff cases are not good materials. the diff case flexes just enough to let the brittle ring and pinion to unmesh making them slip and shear off the teeth. tbh, i would stay away from lipo and anything that takes these vehicles away from stock, other than a better-performing, cooler running brushed motor.

 tkupcik 39 points

You can use Turnigy balancer & Charger 2S-3S. Charge rate for Flightmax 350mAh is 2C = about 700mA. This charger charges at current 800mA.

 mattio79 120 points

they are fine, just make sure not to charge faster than 0.7A. i usually have mine at 0.4A i'm in no hurry

 ListerStorm 32 points

They are not to strong. Every charger under 1A(1000mah) will be ok. I use the first one for this Lipo works great.

 Kobrar 13 points

You can use the HobbyKing Variable 6S 50W 5A Balancer/Charger w/ accessories to charge it

 erick 6 points

just buy the thunder ac6 its only like 45 bucks and works great.

 Sloperdude 1309 points

If they were in stock I would. HK is fantastic, but 2/3 of the stuff I want has been out of stock for about a month!

 mattio79 120 points

you can upgrade the foamie's motor to compensate for the weight and benefit with longer runtimes and better performance...

 ngashok 74 points
