batteries

So I missed all of 2023, as I never put up a new thread and the 2022 ran all last year too - that's on me. This is the 2024 version of the "What is your RC LiPo battery of choice"! Since RC LiPo companies come and go and RC LiPo batteries technologies are constantly changing and improving. We...

What do you guys use to charge your batteries when you’re out in the field? I currently have a imars d300 charger with gensacearespammers bashing batts. 2 3s and 2 4s. I would love to use a solar generator or battery bank. I’m just not sure what would work the best. If you guys could share what you do...

Hello, I'm new to the hobby and bought a rtr gorgon kit a couple days ago. It was cool for the first run with the included battery, but after the first charge with the s120 charger it came with, it wouldn't last as long. I checked the light on the esc and the manual says its the lvc. Though I'm...

Hello everyone. I am fairly new to the forum but I have noticed a lot of questions about batteries. Is this one good? Does that one last? I am an engineer that has been building testers to test electric vehicle battery packs for almost 10 years now. So most of what I deal with ranges from 6 or...

Hi, after driving with the Outcast 8S EXB the two 4s packs always have about 0.1V difference per cell. One battery 3.5, the other 3.6 for example. The batteries are brand new 4s 6700mah, that i've just used maybe 5 times yet. Is this normal or is something wrong with the lipos? thanks in advance

Hello! I want to use 4s batteries in my 6s typhon, it has the stock spektrum esc. Is there a setting i need to change before that or can i just plug in the 4s batteries and it will be fine?

So, I need more batteries and my go to Zee 5200mah hard packs just BARELY don't fit in this thing. So, now I'm shopping for batteries. I know Spekrtum is recommended but I don't and won't have a Spektrum charger and they're only rated at up to 50c. I've been poking around looking at CNHL's...

I’m wondering if there’s any solutions to fix both batteries, i’ve tried slow charging them but once i run them cell 3 on both batteries are below cells 1 and 2. i left both batteries fully charged or storage voltage (i can’t remember) after slow charging them a few times and this is a few days...

This is the 2022 version of the "What is your RC LiPo battery of choice"... yeah it's March and I'm a little late, but it's better than never. ;) :D Since RC LiPo companies come and go and RC LiPo batteries technologies are constantly changing and improving. We are doing an annual thread and...

How many batteries are enough? I know it's kinda subjective, but how many batteries would you buy for each RC Truck you have?

Hello everyone. I haven’t had an rc for a good while now. I recently purchased a vorteks 3s blx and I am wondering what is the best option to run for a battery. What will get me the most power but decent run times? I know that they pair them with the spektrum lineup of batteries and chargers...

I have 3 zeee 3s 6000mah batteries and 2 supulse 25w balance chargers and a blx 100 big rock, all three of my batteries have a low cell in them and they are all not even 2 months old yet. I let them cool when I’m done running/charging before I plug them back up. And I haven’t let them sit. 1st...

I have 2 NiMH batteries for sale. Neither of these batteries have any/much use on them, I just don't run NiMH. I'd rather these go to someone who does than just leave them sitting or throw them out. $20 shipped (both batteries) within the contiguous United States. Arrma 1800mAh, 7.2v, 0 cycles...

Im about to buy a notorious and i looked at the dimensions for max battery size, the 6s batteries im looking up are just a hair too wide and if i take 2 3s hardcases (which i would prefer) and stack them they would be 4mm taller than the allowed space, did anyone have an issue with this with any...

Can you run two different size batteries in the notorious

Hi to all I would like to buy a new Kraton 6S V5 and I wonder if the maximum battery length can be slightly exceeded. The manual says that it is 158mm, but I would like to put a 162mm long battery there, more specifically gensacearespammers 6S 5Ah 45C (I have very good access to them). Will they not...

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of getting a arrma typhon 3s and I have this question for you guys before I buy it. I have heard many stories of lipo fires and I don't really wanna risk it so is it possible to use two nimh batteries in series instead of a 3s lipo? Will the voltage be the same or will...

I share my experience with ZOP Power LiPO batteries. It all started on Dec / 19/2020 I bought from Banggood.com ZOP Power 14.8V 5000mAh 60C 4S Lipo Battery The goods arrived on 2020-12-30 and at the beginning I was satisfied with the purchase. The batteries were decent and I also rated 5+...

Thinking about getting the V5 Typhon and was curious if I could use two 3s batteries? Thanks guys

I just picked up a lightly used Kraton 6s V5 and it came with a 6s 5000mah 45C battery. I've read what I can in a short period of time on chargers (I'm completely new to lipo RCs) but am going in circles as to the best approach for getting a charger. Ideally I wanted to spend $100 or less...
