Best lipo pack for an electric bike conversion due to the lowest weight of the hobbyking lipos. Make sure you run at least two in parallel because you will get drastically lower voltage sag by doing so since this is a lower C rate pack.

10s ( 38v nominal ) 10ah pack = ~$190 shipped. What a deal.
pairs well with an iCharger 1010b !

I have been running a pair of the Flightmax 5000 15C lipos in a 2 meter pattern plane and pulling about 70A peak. I have about 45 flights on them and they are still performing well. They do however run warmer than the 20C Flightmax lipos and are not as peppy. A great value!

Good lipo for his price! Mine arrived yesterday. It weighs 585 grams. After changing the connectors with a Deans and charging it, I tested it on my Multiplex Mentor. Good performance. It gives the motor 500 Watts to a 108 Watts with a 3 cell Lipo. Good balance in the cells. I think the Lipo is good for my recreational flying style. Gives me a flight of 25 minutes !

bought 3 of these batteries and 1 arrived with a dead cell...0v thats why i gave only 4 stars

i ended up not sending the battery back for it's just not worth it.

i do not understand why these batteries are not checked before they go out???

i ended up using a cell phone single cell charger to recharge the bad cell using the balance taps then when i got it over 3v i put it on the charger and conditioned it

all other cells arrived at 3.86-87v

I have two of these in series in my scale Huey Cobra helicopter. I've been getting 10 minute flights, no problems. All individual cell voltages are consistent after flight.

I bought two of these batteries, in one two cells blew up without using the battery, simply in storage.

Poor quality that does not get better by the price.

I will not buy them again.

Using in a 10s config flying F3A. Only about 15 cycles on each set so far, but I am pretty impressed right now. The internal resistance as measured by my CellPro charger is in the 2.5-3.5 range and going strong. A big improvement over previous generations of Zippy cells for sure.

I fly this Akku with a Hangar9 Mustang P51 PTS electric conversation plane, weight 3,2 kg. Motor is the TURNIGY 50-55B 600kv. The P51 is more powerfull with this setup as with a .46 glow engine.

The most time i flight with half throttle.
