the KK2.0 board is power by the ESC connector of your aircraft, not directly with the battery. Battery is plugged into ESC. Bye

yes of course if you match these two plugs together.

Olá colega! Eu não aconselho vc abrir o envólucro da bateria isto seria perigoso, mas daria para vc tentar puxar os fios um pouco para o lado e se precisar até cortar um pedaço deles. Espero ter ajudado.

 Luke 6 points

yes, i do that with my quadcopter and motors with the same rating, get 10-14 minute flights on a 1.5Kg copter. (i would go with the 5000mAh though, not much heavier and 25pcnt more energy)

 traxxmaster 5 points

yes you just need whatever connector you want and a soldering iron

 dapoofyhairdude 6 points

Yes, just make sure you get the polarity correct.

No more than 2C (8A), but to prolong their life, it is better not exceed 1C (4A)

 tomukas1990 9 points

I would recommend only 1C (4A / 4000mA

 garett 1763 points

if you will connect in series, you'll get 6s battery and will fry your esc, if you'll connect batteries in paralel you will get summed capacity, so it's ok, just better if batteries would be the same producer and capacity.

If there is enough space, just get 2200 mah battery and you'll be ok.

 __hobo 203 points

If you use 4000 mAh instead of 1300 mAh you flight time will increase about times 4000/1300, that's about 3 times the original flight time. You can also connect 2 batteries in parallel. Connecting in parallel means: Capacities of the batteries get added, voltage has to be the same. Connecting 2 batteries in series (serial) means that the individual voltages get added. In this case you should use batteries of same capacity. So, in your case, either parallel packs or bigger battery. DO NOT US

 HellyFlyer 1257 points

If you connect it in parallel only the volt will incrase but the mah will remain same however if you connect in series then your flight time will increase, but also think of the weight of 2 batteries as compared to one battery with high mah.

 alloba 22 points

Hi friend. If the weight is not a problem to the model and you can put into this kind of lipo, you're flight time will be longer. To have longer flight times yo need more capacity of the battery (more mAh) and if you want to do this connecting packs you have to use parallel conector, if you use serial you increase the voltage (like 6s battery). Regards.

 dwvabeach 66 points

mAh is a direct measurement of a pack's capacity. The more mAh the electricity is stored in the pack. However, that comes with a tradeoff which is as you noted an increase in weight. The size difference between a 1300 pack and a 4000 pack is dramatic. Your plane will likely be more sluggish and have to work harder to lift it. Even though the size is more than double, you may only see a 50 gain in runtime due to the increased weight. The motor just has to work so much harder to lift and dr

 AdrenaCo 136 points

You could use this battery if the additional weight is no problem. Your flight time will increase indeed. My estimate is that you would roughly double your flight time. The flight behavior of your plane will change however and landings etc. will become more critical due to the additional weight. You can also connect two identical packs in paralell but a single pack is to be preferred as connecting packs in paralell can be tricky due to different internal resistances in the batteries. I do not t

 tarama 15 points

Yes you will triple your flight time.

 colgem 177 points

If you are sure that your airframe can handle this additional weight, then sure you can stuff this battery in there. Ensure that you maintain the correct Centre of Gravity though. If you have two 1300mah packs you wish to use instead of this one 4000, use the parallel connector to double your battery capacity, use the series connector if you wish to double your voltage. Remember, with extra wqeight comes reduced flight time, so, if you double your battery capacity, you will get less than doub

 matwelli 9 points

yes you will get more flight time, you plane will use a bit more power to fly, so expect around 3 times the flight time. Yes you can use that to connect your packs in parallel for more capacity - just make sure both packs are charged before connecting together (same voltage)

 Airibatic 49 points

yes the more mah you use the longer flight time but if you are getting 8 to 10 min with a 1300 i would not use a 4000 go with a 2600 you should be able to get 15 to 20 min outof it.

QUANTO MAIOR O Ah MAIOR O TEMPO DE VO.

 jflessne 54 points

You should get more flight time but with out know what your specs are it's hard to be certain. Connecting packs in parallel...just don't know.

 Destructor 162 points

Any time you can carry more milliamps (mah) on board you will get more flight time. If the weight does not matter then go big for nice long flights. But in the case of weight you will have to be heavier on the throttle so it will eat the power up faster aswell. So finding the perfect mesh is tricky some times. In my case I go with the smaller "mah" and have lots ready to switch out. They are so cheap now I have about 79 batteries. My faves are the turnigy 1800 20c

 mattio79 123 points

i would always recommend going with whatever balances your craft. if a longer parallel-connected setup keeps it in balance, you are adding complication of multiple connections, any of which could fail. going with as few packs as possible is always better. if, for instance 2 packs sideways in a "saddle" configuration balances it better than a single heavy pack on one side go with 2 in parallel. make darn sure that your harnesses are soldered and insulated/isolated perfectly or you will have a

 De_We 34 points

Let answer the first part: You're using 3S 1300mA*max.discharged to 25 : used capacity ~975mAh. Let say, you need ~110mAh per Minute 975mA/9Min If you used the 4000mAh Lipo (same Voltage :3S) max.discharged 25: there are (with max.25 discharged) 3000mAh to use. 3000/110= 27Min to fly. Now you've a bigger weight and the engine must be work harder and need more power. I think, with this LiPo you'll be get ~20Min real fly time. Last part: Parallel: If you connect 2 LiPo's parallel, your capa

Hi, I use this Pack on a Alpha Cub Multiplex Glider. My motor draws 30 Amps at full power.
It runs my motor for almost eight minutes(Safe)it brings my glider up in 30 sec. And I can stay up longer than I like, buy it and try, do not couple packs. Old style, forget it. Newe Lipo's Are great.
Hope this was helpfull to you,

 Tom 4 points

Yes you can :)

 Ravi 5 points

yes you can since charger provides input voltage 11-18v and charge current 1-5A

 Daniel 6 points

Yes you can.

 mattio79 123 points

yes. it even uses the balance connector so you can see the voltage of each cell. just make sure you either have high quality alligator clips or the compatible connector on your batter plug.

 De_We 34 points

Yes, You can Your LiPo has 3S* the charger can handle up from 1S till 6S. Max charge current is 5A. I prefer to load the Lipo with max. 0,75*capacity of the LiPo: In your case 4000*0,75 = max.charging current=3A. !! Note: Power supply not included.!!

 P47-NGNG 23 points

Hi, I looked it up for you. Yes you can,it will take max one hour to charge this battery.
Some of my clubmembers use this charger it is very okay.
Hope this will help you out.

They all warn 1C, but I've safely charged my packs at 2C many times without causing a fire or hurting the battery. Don't try 5C like a Hyperion pack...but 2C isn't a problem for these high quality packs.

 khalid 244 points

I'm charging this lipos on 2C since more than 6 monthes and i never had any problem!!

 Alex B 9 points

Keep it safe and charge at 1C, doing so will give your battery extra life too.

 Ravi 5 points

its 20c discharge

 mattio79 123 points

1c is safer. i'd go with that.

 cyrmat 136 points

www.link iCharger 106B+ is one of the best.
If you plan to go further then 6s in the future
the iCharger 208B for 8s or 1010B+ for 10s

incorrect. just weighted mine on digital scales. 307.7g with t-connector.

 Fidelity 393 points

I stand corrected. The E-Flite battery information must be off, because it's definitely heavier than the E-Flite 3200mAh 3S lipo.

 mattio79 123 points

eflite is trash, and that is why they are lighter.

 mattio79 123 points

correct. if you are brave and careful you can open the pack ( WILL VOID WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AND MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION IF YOU SHORT ANYTHING OUT!!!!) and resolder the connector onto the correct tab.

 kstmark 305 points

I don't think you gonna find but you can open your battery and disconnect the dead cell. So you can have a 2S 4000mAh with an other 2S with the same mAh you can go to a 4S. You can also split the 2s to 2 of 1S so as to have spares 1S4000mAh or even join them with 3S so as to have 2 4S. If you open your battery beware of fire you should be extremely careful not to short + with -

 Krzycho 86 points

I had the same issue with my Gadex 4500mAh 3S. What i did was connecting same 3S battery to + and - of the broken battery. I wait for a minute making sure it's not getting hot. After that I switch the battery to the balancer and fully charged it. I used this battery 3 times after that and everything seems to be okay. I only figure out mAh loss - about 10%. Is it normal?

 mattio79 123 points

no. you will need to buy a new pack. no manufacturing process is perfect and sometimes failures occur.

 Fidelity 393 points

The FMA CellPro 10S is hands down the best charger you will find for lipo's. It auto detects the number of cells, tells you the Internal Resistance of each cell, automatically calculates the charge rate unless you want to manually set it, etc. I would HIGHLY recommend the FMA 10S after trying many others on the market.

 Fidelity 393 points

Kevin...What Y splitter are you using? For charging, it would be better to charge each pack seperately, but if you want to charge them both as one, make sure they are at the same discharge level. Also, if you're sparking, something is not right with your Y plus. Try taking a volt meter and test your cable after plugging each pack in. The issue your describing sounds like you have a wiring issue.

 mattio79 123 points

that is because there is a crossed connection in your balance connector.

 Coma004 54 points

Saw nothing. By the way, Rhino lipos seem to be produced by zippy as well as the "original" zippy... maybe this one is cheaper because it is "no name"? may be...
