What connection type do these come with?

Gary (67%)
Never mind I found the answer.

XT60 connectors (the yellow ones)

freya-ex-wc (84%)
They are delivered with XT60-plug. I personally like deans-plug, so I change it. Good battery- good punch :-)

do these come complete with the deans connection on them.? and will they be ok for the trex 450 v2.?

thanks.

welshy1969 (67%)
No the ones I got didnt come with deans. They fit into my Trex 450S GF perfectly so should fit the V2 nicely and the CoG is better on the flybar with these packs. Be prepared for a pleasant surprise when you strap one of these into your Trex. The performance boost is quite noticeable.

freya-ex-wc (84%)
They are delivered with XT60-plug. I personally like deans-plug, so I change it. Works well on my 450.

what kind of plug do they come with?

Gerjan (75%)
They come with a blue 3.5 mm plug, not with a red Deans T-plug.

worldedit (67%)
Everybody i know uses 4mm plugs. I use deans because all packs here used to come with those. Now there are 3.5mm plugs, im going crazy!

Can someone confirm the dimensions of this pack? Thanks.

3Dmuse (61%)
what I meant was the height is 32mm or 24mm?

3Dmuse (61%)
Never mind, I can rotate it so that I get 108x24x32mm :)

SpeedFlap (49%)
I measured 34mm width instead of 32mm indicated. (3 packs of different orders, all the same).

How many C should you charge this battery at as Hobby City states 2C chatge rate but the sticker on the back says to never charge above 1C

SBAlv (43%)
I always charge my LiPos with:
- 1C at the flying field
- 0.5C at home after the flights
I don't know how 2C or higher charges can affect the LiPo life. I've read lots of **** over the internet but nothing really trustable. If someone has a reliable source of information about LiPo's handling, please let me know.

SBAlv (43%)
Is "****" a bad word? Sorry... What about "bull****"?

conturix (86%)
1C charging is most suitable for most LiPo. I've never heard about 2C charging but if you want your batt performance and life longer please stick to 1C charging.

welshy1969 (67%)
For a good article on batteries including lipo's go check this one out. ***********rcmodelreviews****/baffledbybatteries3.shtml
There are articles about other battery technologies also that help to complete the picture.

hi boys
can you tell me how many cycle we can do with this pack
thanks

OmengQ (69%)
I have one which is 48 cycles already and still as good as a new one. No bloating and still have the punch and more often i overdischarge them coz my LVC doesn't kicks in. I use this battery on my funjet running around 40 - 42amps.

japie22 (49%)
normally a good lipo can do about ~150 cycles

conturix (86%)
I have seen someone who has more than 100 cycles on this batt. The performance still great.

rcflying (76%)
hi Fox
I my self make more than 100 cycle on this lipo and working very good so we can trust it

frelo (84%)
What is better for the lipo, to lay it away full or when I have fly to lay them away whithout charging.

Warren (83%)
Hey Fred

There are various things people suggest to do with lipos. Just google lipo care and make up your own mind. Personally if i know im not going to fly for a few weeks i leave them discharged but otherwise i charge them up.

Keith (72%)
Li=pops should not get a memory but if you are not flying you are meant to "storage chargee" them... most digital chargers have that function...

I just charge mine up ASAP and forget about them!

Happy li-poing
:)

Great , i received in the mail today and i will try it tomorrow.

I have another question, what is the best motor upgrade? i need to get the maximum speed in the limit of a new motor + Rhino 2250mAh 3S 11.1v 25C Lipoly Pack + the Stock ESC

Keith (72%)
To get the speed it is the prop that is the main decider and the Kv... a motor a about 2000kv with a smaller prop like a 6x4 give a lot of speed.

Warren (83%)
Hey Ramy,

i too have a stryker f27c and this battery should be perfect for it. It is similar weight to the one in the RTF package but higher discharge. I find that because the standard battery only has a 12c discharge they get quite warm when running flat out. SO this battery should stay cooler

welshy1969 (67%)
I run these in my F27c too and the thing is nuts on these packs! Unlimited vertical performance. The dont get warm enough to worry about. I only have 3 of these packs so far but I swear that all my aircraft be it heli, edf or prop driven start to snarl and bare their teeth at you when you put these rhino's into them. I cant recommend them highly enough!
Welshy

Ramy (37%)
will that work with a stryker f27c ?
