Other orders in front of yours. People pack the orders in order they are printed out. Also the packers could be on a long lunch break.

Hi, I run one single in my 600esp ang get 5mins of hard 3D although they do come down warm and measure about 14% remaining so i run them pretty hard. also run 2 in my 700e and again 5mins of hard 3D and they come down cold and on average 20 - 23% remaining. i have 4 and have lasted fine all this year and still using them in excess of 50 cycles each. a nice battery, cheap but nothing like as punchy as optipower but then optis run at £*100 a piece!

To maintain optimal battery life I have set my timer to 5.10 minutes. No more or your battery may start to puff.

5-6min flight time will give you long life with theses batteries. I have 5 of them now and in the second season of utilization.

I use these batteries with an Align T-Rex 600 ESP with stock motor and ESC setup. After 7 minutes of flying (including several loops and turns) and 3000-4000mAh used the batteries are just warm. I own 3 packs with approx. 30-40 flights on each pack. 2 packs balance just fine. However, 1 pack is out of balance after only a few weeks of non-usage. 2 cells of the pack lose their charge quickly and it takes hours to balance (with 300mA balancing current). I still fly this pack. However, the balanci

up to 5 amp charge is fine, I charge mine at 5amp ,I love these batterys , there long run times and come down cool on my trex550

 chape00 31 points

I have two of this batteries and I charge it at 10A without problems.

 quadslo 21 points

Can you charge it with more than 10A ?

 chape00 31 points

Max charge rate 2C = 10A. Is the maximum.

 joseph 11 points

2c. or 10 amps is ok to charge that 6s 5000 mah flightmax pack

 RCMADPILOT 5 points

Has been a very good battery.

 Adam939 12 points

You can upload 2C = 10A but charging such a high current battery will quickly consume. If you need current 100A, buy the 150A battery and charge up to 1C = 5A and preferably 0.5-0.6 C = 2.5-3A. I do so and the battery lasts for 400 cycles!

Las lelvo usando hace bastante tiempo en mi 600 y fenomenales, muy recomendables

This battery fits ideal for t-rex 550

 Deatly 5 points

Yes, this battery works great on the Trex 550 and fits in without any problems.

 Blacodon 5 points

Great Great with 550 TREX. I have 4 battery like this. No problem good brands

 Eu Keong 5 points

It fits very well in trex550. I even use it for my spitfire 50...

 joseph 11 points

it fits just fine

 markos51 178 points

i have hk600gt with the red motor and i can tell you that every battery i use is not enought and drop volts of the battery very fast.Motors like that consum more than normal elecricity even trex 600 is a battery killer.Thats why now has 12 s setup. The highest amp my heli needed was 130 when my trex 700 12 s needs 115 peak. So the conclution.Batteries that behaves bad on 600 gt is perfect with a good set up. I ordered 2 for my trex 700 .I wait for them and i hope that i am rigth.

 Morgan 5 points

May have just been a bad lipo, I have been using these for a while, I have 8 of them and none ever a problem. The 40C's are now in the US and I will be trying these out with the AVANT AURORA 90E

 ASturm 13 points

Zippy has a better stability in cells compared with Turnigy.I fly only Zippy or Rhino. 3700mAh 30C.

 PaulGT3 20 points

Turnigys are dang good batteries. I like them over my zippies

 Jean Misrany 109 points

Tres important de balancer avant la premiere charge,et le rodage qui conciste a 5 foix charge et decharge de 2mn ,balanc avant de recharger et elle ce maintiendra a .006v aprox. Apres la priode de rodage je peu voler 5mn et elle sont balanc a la dcharge.
Il faut beaucoup de soin a ces li-po,ce ne sont pas des batteries a $300us.

 Carlo 21 points

just a bad cell. i have zippys and they worked just fine on my trex 550.

 john 5 points

I have had a brand new one of these with a cell that would not charge so had to bin it without a flight. But do not forget that these batteries are absolute bargins for the use you get from them they are practicly half price of any other retailer

 maderdog_1024 21 points

Sounds like a bad cell, i have bought 30 batteries at least and only had one bad one. So dont be deterred.

 ultra7 5 points

I have these before and I am only buy Turnigy Nano Lipo pack.They are the best.

 adrian 1 points

likely raising the single cell you have to connect where swing and give a heavy load to that one until you lift a little and then all you have to lift balancealas

 Stefan 2 points

You should expect at least 100 flights before they start to get soft... I fly these on a trex 550e 3g and 3 guys I fly with have trex 700e they all say they are the best bang for your buck! they don`t get hot like other packs do...

 Morgan 5 points

We have been getting around 100 cycles or more, just try to keep the drain to about 20 of their capacity(use 80 of the battery). I also use these in the Trex 550, and the Avant 90E. Great batt's

 Atanacio 5 points

It all depends how well u treat them, how hard u fly, but in my experience, because of the 12s setup, seems that they come down cooler then my 550e on 6s setup, the amp pull is split between both lipos, hence the easier load on the lipos

 nogahyde 75 points

As long as you don't go under voltage on these batteries and keep them balanced, you should get around 200-500 cycles. Again, depends on how you take care of them.

 CarrotCake 98 points

Anybody know what's the # gauge/awg this battery comes with? Thanks

 Carlo 21 points

150 to 550. depending how you treat them. treat them good and they will be good.

 suomynon 3 points

I've got 60 cycles - still going strong.

 maderdog_1024 21 points

150ish

 ultra7 5 points

if you know lipo rules that can last over 100 cycs

 Morgan 5 points

When plugging in two batteries in series(especially lipos)they need to be the same cell count,like 6S 6S, 3S 3S and so on. Because you can't control which battery will see the most drain, the power just flows out. So, the 4S will be over taxed and die on you very fast.

 mobbings 44 points

Hi Morgan, that's not true what you write. The cells in the Lipos're already connected in series. And 4 cells of the same type can be combined with 6 cells of the same type to a 10 cells.

 Jean Misrany 109 points

Je branche 6s 2s en srie,
5000mah,6s,30c 5000mah,2s,30c = 5000mah,8s,30c
La forme de la li-po n'a aucune importance.
Je drive mon t-rex 600 avec 8cell
Speed control Castle Creation ICE 100 8s
et motor Scorpion 4025 1100kv
Important : mha et C (capacit de dcharge) en srie.

 Carlo 21 points

be careful how you do this.

 adrian 1 points

would have the same voltage if you can connect

 maderdog_1024 21 points

look at using two 5s lipos, resistance and impedance becomes a problem with packs of different capacities connected together. you would need to join the cells together on the pack to make it a 10s safely and i dont fancy doing that!

 infinium 90 points

I would say it's equivalent to Turnigy 30C. Don't think it could be worse than Turnigy.

 tomapowa 225 points

I also got plenty of both... orogonally they were about the same performance. Last month tohugh I noticed a few of my 2yr old 30C Zippy packs have puffed.... hm... but my Turnigys have been fine... go figure.

 tomapowa 225 points

hm.... most of my Zippy 6s 30C packs have puffed after around 75 cycles or so... (1.5 yrs of NE flying)... expected a little more out of them actually... and I don't beat on them either... oh well.

 jonathan 6 points

the zippy flightmax is better than the turnigy beacause they have more power due as a good internal resistance

 Eric 6 points

I have had both and they are pretty much the same. Some may say that Turnigy is a little better but I have not seen any differences.

 Valkman 16 points

Ballance them, then charge them and all should be good.

 jonathan 6 points

no 50*53mm

 jamesppp 15 points

I have charged my 2, Zippy 6S 5000mah packs at 2C from the first charge. I have about 35 cycles on each now and the IR is 2.4-3.0Mohm per cell on both packs and they balance pefrectly at 4.204v per cell. These packs are a bargain...Im using them in an Outrage 550 and Logo 5003D

 jonathan 6 points

if in your battery is written 1c charge it in 1c

 helipilot 43 points

I'm also waiting for almost two month!! When will they be available?

 tomapowa 225 points

Looks like a bunc h came in recently... stock is now only -19 (looks like I'm in that -19 unfort.... :( )

 tomapowa 225 points

Awesome.... just got my four 5000mAh 30C 6s Zippy packs in! Real nice! Can't wait to test tonight! From ordering to delivery.. it took 2-1/2 weeks... not too bad seeing they were out of stock.

 jonathan 6 points

i think is plug pk 4mm

 Valkman 16 points

They are 4mm type and in stock.

 motogman 165 points

5 Amps

 Peterm 188 points

Actually 2C or 10 amps according to the Product Config Table above!

 jonathan 6 points

the safe charging is in 1c/5a

 Valkman 16 points

Depends on the battery but 1c or 5amps is a safe bet.

 tonytobar 82 points

So where on this site do I find the matching male plug?

 GHSTRCN 52 points

Search 4mm gold and they should be the 2nd item listed. They're sold in packs of 10 pairs, so you'll have extras but it is much cheaper than buying a few pairs here and there at your Hobby Shop.
