Need NiMh battery help.

[kwonchoba]

Alrighty so I have a losi MRC and I currently have two 7.2V 1100mAh NiMh batteries and a wall charger that I got with my rtr kit.

I am looking at getting some more batteries. Mainly id like to get some more NiMh's and then some LiPos.

First thing is, do I stick with the 7.2V and 1100mAh batteries? Or can i get bigger and if so what size. Next is what charger would you recamend. Is there any that I can charge more then one at the same time?

Next is LiPos. I am clueless to them. What are some good ones that wont break my wallet and a good charger as well?

Thank!

You can go as big as you wanna go on mAh. (with NiMh or LiPo)

For Lipos, check cheapbatterypacks.com, maybe look at their Elite packs.

For a charger, Onyx 245 does 2 batts at once, and does both NiMh and LiPo.

I'd also reccomend looking for batteries with JST-XH balance taps (LiPo), and a charging sack for each LiPo being charged.

Are you running for fun, or likely to do comps?
For comps, most of us run ~300mah 2S LiPO, it gives enough runtime for 1 course, maybe 2.
You want a high "C" rating for a small LiPO pack (45C+).

One issue is finding room for packs, thus the small size.

The suggested Onyx sounds like it uses an "Align" style balance plug, you will see this more than a "JST-XH" designation.

I also recommend CheapBatteryPacks, almost I use is their Elite LiPO packs.

Don't waste any money on Nickel batteries, go lipo.
