I order one but I'guess I'll need to charge em way more often then my 2700mah AA bats (yet I like it to more often charge 1 lipo then 2 times 4 AA bats)
Hi, you can use any charger, that charges 3s lipo batteries. I am using HobbyKing B3AC Compact Charger and it works very good with this battery and you don't have to buy a power supply.
HI, i have a Turnigy 2S 3S Balance Charger. Direct 110/240v Input, http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem .asp?idProduct=8247
And i'm trying to charge the battery but it keeps blinking and the battery do not charge, does someone knows what's going on?
Tahnks.
Yes, i let it sit for more than one hour and the battery seems to be dead, i only used it once, and in the end of 1 hour charging there's no voltage on the battery.
Is the battery dead?
thx.
Unfortunatly that charger has no read out, if you have anything to measure voltage, the whole pack voltage is best to never drop much below 11.1v. If it is 9v (3v per cell) or lower, the pack may never charge again.
what are this pack's battery connectors called or what type are they? will it fit to any type of lipo charger as long as its designated as a 3s charger??
It is a JST male 2 pin connector. You need the female connector on your charging leads. Have a look under BATTERY CHARGERS & ACC. - CHARGE LEADS - PRODUCT ID: AM-5001A. The balancer connector is called JST-XH. You can use any charger with integrated balancer using this plug or you have to buy a adapter for this, too. You can find them under BALANCER LEADS.
The charge plug is : JST-XH. for charging, you need to connect a female JST-XH from the charger. Check the "GT A-6 Charger/balancer/discharger". It has the accessory required for this battery. Hope this helps.
Beware of that battery, see the last two reviews, they seem to have a bad batch in stock where most of them have bad cells. i also got one with a dead cell!
just picked-up tis item from the post office, only after unpacking this item that i realized that this battery pack has a total of 6 wires protruding out of it. I use to be into tamiya (2ch) 1/10 RC cars so my only actual exposure with regard to RC motors are "two wires" battery configuration ... can anyone enlighten me on what the set of 4-wires (black,yellow,Blue and red) with a white 4pin connectors are for? how about the 2-wire set (black and red)? ... on this battery packs case?. can anyone suggest a weblink where i can see a sample connection diagram for this pack? (with ESC and motor). need pointers on how to use this battery pack.
found connection layout wit d manual of the esc i bought w this item,but stll, there are no mention of the use of the 4 wires gouped by white connetor ..charger perhaps?
thanks, yes i guest the 4 wires are for the charging. failed to comprehend that this type of batteries requires a different type of chargers, failedv to include it with the order of this item. there are balance charger available here in my country but they are too "top of the line" expensive for a novice sunday hobbyist like me. :-)
come gia detto i 4 fili servono per la ricarica bilanciata ,x allungare la vita e mantenere le prestazioni della batteria,ATTENZIONE a non caricare la batteria con un caricabatteria normale da nicd o nimh non va assolutamente bene ,la batteria si può gonfiare ed esplodere
B6 for example but nearly every charger can charge this. depens on the wich to have the balancer integrated or not and if you want a 220 or 12v or both. B6 is for 12v only and B8 is for both if i remember well
ATTENZIONE A NON USARE CARICABATTERIE CHE CARICA SOLO BATTERIE NICD O NIMH NON VA BENE SERVE UN CARICABATTERIE X LIPO CON BILANCIATORE ALTRIMENTI LA BATTERIA SI GONFIA ED ESPLODE
Has anyone else experienced high internal resistance with these 20C 610mah 3S packs? I have new packs I just received a few weeks ago. I have put less than 10 cycles on each. I measured the IR with my 106B charger and they are very high. Range from 48-65m ohm per cell. The majority of my other lipos have IR less than 10m ohm per cell. They also are getting pretty warm during use in a 9oz 3D plane pulling 7A at most. Anyone else have issues?
They are suppost to re-stock every 14 days. Of course that's not always true. Leave your email with the item and HC will email you first when they become available.
There is no back order on this site. If you order an item in stock, they will reserve your other parts and wait until the back ordered item come in. However you must pay for the entire order. But also be aware in this world, nothing is for certain. I just sold 2 nib battery pack's after waiting a 1-1/2 months. If you want to back order as you call it. Order the item by it self, pay for it and wait until it becomes available.
Sorry I should have edited prior to posting. I purchased 2 battery packs and wanted more. I waited 1-1/2 months nothing, that is why I sold the 2 new packs.
I use the Micro Deans 2-pin or a copies of it that still are available online.HK used to sell them.I just don't trust crimped joints with 10amps going through them.I've never had or seen a good solder joint fail.
Find the male connector to fit on your robbe equalizer, they buy a female JST connector. Solder together to make your own adapter/connector so you can use on these. Thanks.
The battery comes with a male JST so you need a female JST

Bought three of these and so far I'm pleased. More power than my TP PL 730's but not the run time. Getting 10 minutes with a Pink Wonder 24 gram 1500kv and a 8x4 DD prop and the power is excellent.

i bought this battery along with a rhino 430 mah 3s to try out the different weights in my plane. this battery is one of the best i have ever used, and at a quarter of the price of my thunder power batteries i couldnt have asked for a better deal. this battery gave me 6.5 minute run times with an e-flite 370, e-flite 10a contoller and an apc 10x3.8 doing moderate to intense 3d. i'm going to use the 430mah for indoor flying when winter time rolls around. this is a great battery at a great price. thanks hc

The weight and size are correct on the specs. I used a 4 prong Deans connector and with Velcro the weight is 51.3 grams. I also like that they have a balance plug. My TP PL 730 3s with the same Deans power plug and Velcro is 50.5 grams. No balance plug on the TP's.

Perfect size lipo for use with the HXT 1300kv - 1700kv 24g "Blue Wonder" motors [or the Turnigy 2730 equivalent]. Using the Turnigy Plush 10a esc, 2 HXT500 Servos, & Spektrum AR6000 rx, I routinely get 15plus minute flight times at 1/2-3/4 throttle.
Amazing pack at this price, pick some up while they actually have them in stock!

rhino 610 mah 11.1v 3s battery pack. what can i say , this battery converted my extra 300 foamy 240g 9/4 gws d/d prop thin type powered by a e-flight park 300 from a plane that would not even pull a full loop from level flight in to a full on 3d power machine. hovering at quarter throttle and more than ample power for any type of flying . i can not belive just how much differance this battery has made. the battery is very cool after flight.
