Is there anyone out there using this batt in 9x or 9XR radio?? If you are using it, can you pls confirm if it works. Thank you!!
 canterburyflyer 52 points
krash, Now for me,...after a bit of aimless wandering around the battery section, which is confusing at first. So for my 9X HobbyKing 1500mAH LiFe 3S 9.9v Transmitter pack. Battery requirements for 9XR can be different Key-in "transmitter pack" in the right hand search window and then click on view all. Now, the Turnigy 2200 lipo made exclusively for the 9xr. Does not appear on that list, it is called "Turnigy 9XR Safety Protected 11.1v (3s) 2200mAh 1.5C Transmitter Pack" Hope this helps

I bought 2 of the Zippy Flightmax batteries Specs Capacity: 1500mAh* Voltage: 3S1P / 3 Cell / 11.1v* Balance Plug: JST-XH* Discharge plug: XT60. How do I plug it into my Parrot AR-Drone 1? The plugs don't match up. I got these a year or so ago and got side tracked with personal business and now I want to get back into flying it a s I haven't flown it yet. Do I need some type of adapter? If yes can someone give me the info on it including where to purchase? Thanks for any help and info.
 Stelios 16 points
You need an adapter. In hobby kings web site got to : Batteries & Accessories > Battery Adapters> there is a great variety of adapters that will help you out. And well came to the hobby

Will this lipo fit in the mini E Revo or is there a better battery for the mini E Revo? thanks!!!

I brought these batteries, should i initially charge these batteries before the first use* or else does these come fully charged? Thanks, Jobby
 chopper50 258 points
Hi, Charge before use, they come as standard with storadge charge, about 3.98v per cell, Cheers Chris
 HellyFlyer 1249 points
You should cycle the batteries at least twice before initial usage so that the battery can give you good voltage and will also last long. Rad on battery care on Helifreak****

Discharge: 20C Constant / 25-30C Burst, what does 20c means? can i use it for my rtf bixler/fpv setup?
 MadHatt 104 points
C stands for discharge rate. It is simply how fast a battery can be discharged safely. The faster the ions can flow from anode to cathode in a battery will indicate the discharge rate. In the RC LiPo battery world it is called the “*C”* rating.
 HellyFlyer 1249 points
Simply it means how fast a battery can be discharged safely. The higher the C rating the faster the battery will discharge and you will get low flight times, 20c is best for Bixler/fpv setup.I hope this helps
jonacrazyplane  52 points - 7/8/2012
 
Waht is the C for? 20C?
 keyrul_MAS 131 points
discharge current per unit hour. the bigger C means u get the highest perfomance
 johan 1 points
More powerfull engine needs more power from the battery, the "C" tells you how mouch you can get from it, 20c x 1500mAh = 30Ah. 25c x 1500mAh = 37,5Ah, To get the most out of your engine use a matching bettery.
 edward 7 points
the C stands is its discharge speed. 1 c means it will discharge in 1 hour. 20C means it will take 3 minutes. If you imagine a bucket of water and the C is the size of the hole in it.
 juanjo2 15 points
the c is the discharge capacity, for example this pack have 20c of discharge, 1 c =1500 mah 20c=30000 mah (30 amp), this pack if good for use with an esc arround the 30 amp, and an electric motor with a consume of max 30 amp, if you use this pack with a electronics where consumes more than 30 amp (20c of this pack) you will damage your battery.

we can charge it at 2c or 3c ??
 Milind 24 points
Charge it at 3C 1.5A Happy and safe! :)
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 Veter 2 points
This accumulator assumes charging the current of 1,5?. But for long innings it is better not to exceed a charging current higher 1?.
 christian 1 points
Max Charge Rate 2C
 Sawdust 1604 points
Milind: 3C would be 4.5 amps, NOT 1.5 amps, and NOT a good idea.
2C is the max recomended which is 3 amps and would be safe, BUT, for extra safety and longer battery life 1C, 1.5 amps would be my personal preferance.
 sonicDU83 14 points
tks !!!, i know 1c is 1.5A, 2c is 3A and 3c is 4.5 A on that battery, but i don't know at how many C i can charge it
 Sawdust 1604 points
It's all in the " Product Config Table " just above here.
" Max Charge Rate (C) 2 "
 paweldededed 480 points
i would recommend charge at 1c for long life of lipo 1.5amps charge
 davi 5 points
the ideal would be 1.5 or less c. most useful to extend the life of the battery.

Can you charge this at 2C?
 ralphi 9 points
You can but for longer life of your battery its recomended to charge at 1C rate.
 Drugos 1975 points
Yes,but in my opinion you should not charge it above 1C.If you charge this battery always at 1C you will get a longer life of it.
 zanek 95 points
yes, but it will lose a little bit of the lifespan
 MrRCFlyyer 744 points
If you charge it at 2C the charge current would damage the cells but you wouldn't have a chance to charge it near 2C because all Li-po Chargers are set to Charge at 1C unless you have a faulty Charger which I don't Recommend Using.
 underthetire 409 points
Yes, up to 2c is fine. Set your charger for 3 amp and your good to go. I only do 2c charging at the field, 1c at home, or if I'm not in a hurry.
 HellyFlyer 1249 points
No you should not it will explode if you do

can i use this battery in my hk 6ch tx with a little bit of soldering?
 Drugos 1975 points
Yes,but in my opinion you should buy a Tx Li-Po battery pack.
Go in the "LiPo, LiFe, NiMH Battery" section and then click on "Tx battery".
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 chouchkacemi 91 points
And just take care about dimensions of your tx battery emplacement
 zanek 95 points
Yes, but you will need to buy a low voltage cutoff so it doesn't under dishcarge
 Sawdust 1604 points
Don't even think about a low voltage cutoff!!!! That's the worst idea I've EVER seen! You're flying your model and your radio suddenly shuts down, Huh? NO BLOODY WAY THANK YOU zanek. Maybe a low voltage buzzer maybe but the last thing you want is to have your radio suddenly shut down almost certainly causing the destruction of a model just to save shortening the life of a seven dollar battery. There's no memory effect with these. Just top up charge them regularly if using in a TX.

3S1P exactly what i means?
 MrRCFlyyer 744 points
3S1P means the individal battery pack is soldered in a way that is 3 series one parallel.
 mateoaguila1 55 points
3S refers to the number of cells (3.7V) in series in a pack. So in a 3S pack you have a total of 11.1V at resting (12,6 Fully Charged) 1P refers to the number of cells in parallel. For example you could have 1 3S2P 2200ma pack. This pack would have 2 x 1100ma cells in parallel (2200mah) x 3 in series to give you 11,1V..... Confussed yet??? Dont worry about the 1P reference in lipo batteries as lipo batteries are al single celled these days. the reference is from the early days of lipos.
 Drugos 1975 points
3S is the number of cells and 1P is the number of cells in parallel.Don't worry now all Li-po batteries are 1P.
 chouchkacemi 91 points
3S means 3 cells ( 11.1V ) and 1P means 1 parallel, wich means all 3 cells are 1500mAh cells.
 zanek 95 points
That means that there are 3s=3 cells wired for more voltage and 1p means 1 parallel. So there are only 1 cells parallel so there are 3 cells in the battery. If it was 3s2p then it would be 6 cells wired to be 3s voltage and double capacity. How I remember is the P# is the number of packs in one. Because if it is 1p then there are cells in the same number as the name, like a 3s1p is 3 cells, but 3s2p is 6 cells, so it is really 2 packs wired together

Can this battery be used in the HK parkjet or it is too heavy?
 HeliNerd 14 points
Yes, you can use it on the parkjet. Zippy is a great battery! Especially for the money
 Sugna 189 points
It can be use in most of the parkjets. Expect for the 50mm EDF, because their battery compartments are too small.
 Drugos 1975 points
I think that this battery is too heavy for the HK EPO Parkjet.In the parkjet description HK says that this jet use a 800mAh lipo so if you want put this battery on this plane you will have to install a bigger motor than the stock one.

Hello! I'd like to ask the customers who have some experience with this battery a couple of questions. How much does this battery weigh as received? I see in the description a weight of 138 grams is listed, however in a review I read it was close to 110gr. Also, how many cycles can this battery be used with max current about 20A and average about 10A without voltage sag on a 3D model? I'm in doubt between this battery and Flightmax 1600mAh 3S 20C. Thanks in advance!
 belgianbuzzer 27 points
mine weighs exactly 123 gr. complete with wires/connectors* the Zippy with equal specs weighs and measures the same BTW. It does take more than 1500 mAH, so it's actually a bit larger battery than advertised.

It's a squeeze length-wise, and you need to cut some of the battery door off to fit the wires through. For some reason my packs fit much better with the wires facing towards the front of the truck.

I bought two of these lipos to fly my Laser200 46" (with a DT750 plus Esc 25A) and my HB King V2!
The capacity is higher than 1500mah , B6 charger has put 1520 mah load it.
I fly 8 minutes in HB King and 10 minutes in Laser 200, and the batteries are warm, not hot!

The true weight of it is 120 grams.
Really a good buy, will soon want to buy two more!

I run them with a HobbyZone Super Cub with a TurnigySK2830-750 swinging a 10x7 TGS Sport Prop. Setup pulls about 16A and gives a flight time of 10-15min. After 10 mins of flying these little beauties don't even get warm!!!

Running this battery in a gws formosa, with 1450kv turnigy outrunner on an 8x6 apc prop. Holds 10.5 volts under load, drawing 28 amps,(20C almost) Excellent battery, but only 4 stars due to the fact that its heavier then some 1800 3s packs I have.
