| Ok, I ordered two of the 2200mAH packs for my Trex direct from the US. Cost US$17 to ship to Australia via USPS and took 9 days to arrive which was not to bad. I could have used the express option but that was $80 which is more than a single battery.
Batteries arrived well pack and had standing voltages of approx 3.95V per cell and were well balanced.
I have been charging them using a e-station BC5 balance charger, they have the same balance connector as Align, FlightPower, eWatts etc.
They are approx 15grms heavyer than the eWatts cells I have been using and are slightly bigger overaul but still fit the Trex lower platform fine.
I'm still at the "Sport" flying stage but the performance is impressive with full throttle climbs going up like a rocket ship with HeadSpeed of 2800rpm and collective of +/- 11 degs providing flight times of around 13 minutes until noticeable power fall off is felt or the low voltage "misfire" is triggered on my Quark 33A ESC.
I have also flown them in my Multiplex Funjet using a JGF450TH driving a 5x5 prop, this aircraft was wickedly fast (hit a street light last week so its just foam dust now) with unlimited vertical climb at 38amp current draw.
I have just bought a EagleTree FDR so I hope to makes some measurements in the Rex soon but in the mean time I have ordered another 3 batteries this morning.
Flying, crashing & having a ball. |
I currently have 1 T-Rex XL HDE and a Zagi with a direct-drive brushless motor, this Baby draws atleast 70 Amps at full throttle, and out of all my lipos the Air Thunder 3s 2200 Mah 11.1 volts is still rock hard as solid as the day I purchased it. Even on a hot day , when pushing the battery really hard, This lipo still remains solid. Never showing any signs over usage. Yet me other batteries... well lets just say they dont call me "Lipo Puff Daddy" for nothing ... Its the best Lipo I"ve ever tried......
