you can use them together with no problem. just pay attention not to connect them together if one is charged and the other discharged. They have to be the same voltage when connecting.

also the same ratings too

What kind of a wiring harness is out there for parallel? I use XT60 connectors. Is there something that can easily connect the two batteries and then to the ESC?

 Robert 65 points

Yes they do come in parallel conectors for XT60 or XT90.
The XT60 is part #258000015 from HK. I found them in the battery adapters they also have them in series style for higher voltage, and for the price I can't make them myself and save money.

 crazycarmaniac 166 points

if it has electronix yes it will but what bettery are you using at the moment.

 Gerry01 2917 points

Any 2S pack with an 5v UBEC can work ok.

If you need fast charge you can use up to 3A but this is not good for every cgarge. It better to charge at a slower rate like 1A or 1.5A.

 The General - x5 140 points

What you mean is the maximum charge current allowed is 3 amps for the fastest charge possible. a 1.5 amp charge rate will also double the time it takes to charge your lipo.

 crazycarmaniac 166 points

lower Amp charges leave your lipos with a better longer happier life.

 Adam 41 points

best charge rate is 1c or 3 amps. with most lipos unless stated is 1c (1x the amp mah rating) when i break my lipos in i work my way up to that charge rating. when i break it in, then i charge at that voltage usually break in is 5 charge cycles

 alex.khoroshko 349 points

There's no break in for lipos. To the topic-starter - charge at 3A or lower for longer life.

 danikronos 660 points

can be safely drawn about 40 amps if you can pull no more swell battery

 Tony 105 points

In theory, the batery can give 60 amps (20C) but in practice I've found that even at 40 amps, 3 of these batteries have failed - all puffed, and one lost a cell. Better to go for the 40C version which seems more reliable.

Hy! I use this battery in my M249 airsoft gun, and it is amaizing. It has a 1200 rof, and it can shoot 4000 BBs before rechargeing. I highly recommend this item!

 k.smith459 52 points

if for just flying around then yes it should be fine but for 3D then i would reccomend you get a 4000mah 3s 30-40c battery :D

I use them in my asw 28. after 50 recharges this lipos are still great!

 Taparou 38 points

Hi ! =D
The V400D02 Lipo looks like equiped by 3mm HTX connector and I think the charger can't detect the capicity of the Lipo which is higher than the guenine.
In add, your Lipo is to heavy ! The guenine Lipo has 1200mAh. You should buy a Turnigy 2200mAh (maximum) 3S 20C or 25C to haven't a warm Lipo after a flight.

 Taparou 38 points

You mustn't connect the Lipo directly to the Rx. You have to use an External Bec or a Bec ESC.

 SkyDanz 13 points

You need to use the BEC (battery eliminator circuit) from a ESC(electronic speed controller) or a stand alone BEC regulator. It will regulate the voltage to your RX at 5v or 6v. You'll have to put a matching power plug on the BEC or ESC to plug into the battery. The 4 pin plug is used for balancing the voltage of the cells on the battery and will plug into the LiPo balancing port of your charger.

 jeffrey 669 points

You can hook this battery to anything that takes 12 volts,but the speed controller (ESC)needs to have lipo protection.Which keeps you from running the battery all the way down,which will destroy the battery(puffed).You can run without lipo protection,but you have to be careful and shut it down as soon as you start to here the power declineing.

 cocopl 52 points

Typical quadcopters draws 12-15A max to one motor . In normal flight you need totaly 12-16Amps . This battery is 20-30C and can give Peak Discharge (10sec): 30C . On my 800grams quadcopter i use 2200 20C lipo .you can mesure needed power , quad weight = 4 x trust of motors needed ,teoreticaly 200g trust need 3A **> 4x3A 6A = typical flight power .In acro flight you need 2x more power but is peak power.

 cocopl 52 points

4x3A 6A

 cocopl 52 points

4x3A plus 6A

 Taparou 38 points

Sorry, I misspoke, and I'll try to rephrase my question :
Data :
- 4 Motors **> 21A each
- Lipo **> 3S 3000mAh 20C (=60Amps Max)

The 4 motors use 21Amps x 4 = 82 Amps or just 21 Amps... Because if the motors use 82 Amps my Lipo will not have
enough C beacause 82 Amps > 60 Amps...
So, in fact, my question is, How can I calculate the consumption of 4 motors (Wich run in the same time) wich use 21 Amps each to choose the most suitable C for the Lipo ?

 Rotatory 17 points

yes you can sue them!

 Taparou 38 points

That isn't reply to my question :-(

 Daniel 1 points

Its better to play it safe. So take the max possible current each motor can draw, multiply by four, and then add a couple amps for a safety margin. For your use, it seems that a 40C pack would be sufficient. They are not significantly more expensive.

IS it good to use a good lipo charger. I m using the Turnigy A6-10 that inclues also a good balancer methid. Suggested, and cheaper

 jorge 7 points

you can use "Genuine IMAX B8 Charger/Discharger 1-8 Cells" it´s very good charger

 Hawk079 14 points

Hello a 3s support one. 4x6s Hobby king Quattro is ok.

 Marco 2 points

I'm using Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 6A Balancer/Charger. works excellent.

 John 14 points

I would recommend a IMAX B8 charger from hobbyking, they charge everything up to 8 cell lipo , they have a great LCD display and you can also check each individual battery cell voltage and ensure the battery is balacing well .Most charges over $30 on hobby king will charge a 3S battery no worries .Your battery is a 3 cell 11.1 volt battery, the reference is 3S on the specs.A 4 cell loop will say 4s.A 5 cell 5s and so on.

 Marcin 8 points

The best charge is 1C means 3Amp.
You can use more Amps but not for long.Using 1C that is for 1000mAh battery 1Amp ,2000mAh 2Amp and so will keep your battery better and longer life*-)

 rjscosta 64 points

You can use Tunigy Accucell ou the Hobbyking charges with LCD, almost all the chargers on HobbyKing will do.

Type lipo balance in hobbyking search field. All hobbyking lipo balance products is suit to charge this battery battery. Use lipo balance mode and dont over amps by calculate your battery capacity times dc C and time 75pcnt. You will found the Ampere which suits to charge your battery

 2Doggs 186 points

it depends on your headspeed. With a 2200Kv motor on a 3s pack, you'd have to use a 16t or 17t pinion. I think on a 450, you'd be using a 4s pack and 13t pinion with a 2200Kv motor. A 3000mah 3s pack is also a bit too big for a 450 - you'd have balance issues and maybe a hard time fitting it under the canopy. With HS 2400, you can hover for 9 minutes on a 3s 2200 pack with the right gearing.

 HellyFlyer 1249 points

Flight time vaires with the type of flying you do so if you are just learning to hover 6 to 8 mins is ok from a 3000 mah battery it also depends on how much load you have on your heli like meatl head etc. To increase the flight time you have to increase the mah but consider the space available to fit in the higher mah battery.Also your flight time will reduce if you are on Idle up mode as higher head speed consumes more amps hence the battery drains faster.

 A.L.Ttuning 44 points

better but 2 2200 pack's - cheaper way :)

 abletowinginc 207 points

depending on your pinion and motor affectflight times. 8 mins is not unusual for a 2200 pack on a 450. hovering uses for juice than flying around unless you do hard 3d

 martin1971 28 points

I think you are asking what this 3000mAh pack will extend the flight time on you HK450 by ? The biggest problem will be that the extra weight will send the centre of gravity way out so I would not bother

 Jim 6 points

If you want to extend your flight 30 to 45c battery

should be used 10 to 13 minute on a hover. they are more expensive but are worth it.

 __kwe 14 points

what battery do you use actualy?

 JCGomes 5 points

Hi friend, I use the same batery in my HK450 and the time just hovering is the same, about 6, 7 minutes. This time is normal.

 David 12 points

these are too large for a 450. if you want to extend your flight time, use lower head RPM by altering your throttle curve or putting a smaller pinion on your motor. A torque tube tail drive will also help. Hovering uses more power than forward flight so flying gentle cicruits will extend your flight time.

 gatekeeper 13 points

Get a battery with more MAh's less Cells and as low of a C rating as possible for more time. But 5-8 minutes is the usual for anything that flies.

 A 6 points

That sounds about right for hovering. (a helicopter?) Hovering demands a lot from a battery. (This is true for any flying aircraft as well) Flying around uses less energy, believe it or not.

 jeffsouders 7 points

Yes with my 2200 kv it gives me 15 to 20 minutes of flight

 Marcin 8 points

It should ,depence how you fly your plane.Steady or 3D..*-)And what propeller will you use for your motor.

 Mikax 17 points

Hi Brent, you can use the following product attached to your esc, HXT UBEC 5/6v output, 5.5~23v Input, good luck!!

 etiennevdb 52 points

You have to connect a 'Switching BEC' to downstep the voltage to either 5V or 6V. Use the following one: Turnigy 5A (8-40v) SBEC for Lipo at: www.link

 Maria Angeles 7 points

With a bec... or an UBEC. It is the easy way...

 jeffsouders 7 points

You will have to put a reciver plug on it or make an addapter

 Marcin 8 points

Through ESC with build in Bec or just BEC using 5V or 6V.

 ANGELONAPLES 29 points

Al nostro campo ne abbiamo comprati 6 pacchi per provarle sul gaui 500, ma si sono tutte rigonfiate dopo il primo volo. NON CONSIGLIO DI COMPRARLE.

We bought 6 packs to try on Gaui 500 (2x3s), but they swelled after the first fly. I'll never buy it.

 heyya 190 points

What was the norm and burst current rating specified for ESC on Gaui 500? Did both battery swelled or just one?

I'm concerned if this battery is safe for ESC limited at 40/50Amp. My intrepretation of above spec is that 60Amp burst lasting 10 seconds is a red zone (possible battery expolsion) for this battery, but its totally useless for the end user. A real useful data is like what is a real absolute maximum current draw that this battery can tolerate without inflicting a damage, like in your situation?

Just take 11.1 x kv of your motor and then use you gear ratio to figure top speed
