I figured this would be a great way for the peoples of the forum to have an idea on what everyone else is running for batteries!
This is a continuation to the "What lipo packs do you run?" thread. Found here: Poll: What lipo packs do you run?

I'm new to Lipo and I went with..

Sky Lipo 2s 4000mah 30c
Sky Lipo 3s 4400mah 30c

They were inexpensive and I havent run them yet so, no review yet.

DeadlySwan · 10-05-2011, 07:52 PM

Krawler Hobbies: 3s lipo 850mah 30c, these batteries have worked great and they have plenty of punch power. I use these as my comp batt.

TURTLE · 10-05-2011, 11:24 PM

I have used a lot of batteries I have had the best luck with Turnigy and Hyperion.

Off the top of my head:

For Hyperion I have:

1100 45c 3S 2.2 comp
1100 25c 3S airplanes
1800 35c 3S 2.2 comp
2100 35c 3s Scalers, Planes
2100 35c 4S Scalers, Planes
5000 25c 3S Scaler

For Turnigy:
2200 25-35C 3S Scalers, short course, Planes, boat, blizzard, mini trophy truck
3000 25-35C 3S Scalers, short course, planes

The only batteries I have never had any problems with are Turnigy. I have about 20 of them and never had an issue. I have also never balanced them and had them a year.

Worst batteries I have ever owned. I have had four different ones and they dump after 2-3 uses. On top of that there is no way they are rated what they say.

And to go even further, they charge extra for waterproof lipos. Give me a break.
