Feedback on "B-Grade" lipo

[redsawacs]

I am looking to fuel the 6 cars I have when I take the family out to the park. I have looked at all sorts of batteries, I have used several brands of Lipo but I cant afford to keep buying expensive batteries.

I just want something that I can use with stock Axial electronics for trail rides and rock climbing with the Stock vehicles. I dont intend to use these in any high capacity application...I have other batteries for that.

I want to know if anyone has used "B-grade" from hobbyking and if they have had any issues with them that I should be aware of while considering batteries.....heck, for 10$, almost cant go wrong.

Thanks for your feedback

I bought a few earlier this year and have had no problems . I have about 5 or 6 charges on the 4 I bought. I use them in my Wraith and scalers and they do the job.

I bought two when I was on holidays in the states about 18months ago (we get screwed on LIPO prices in canada). I use them as my main bashing batteries for my high speeds RCs no problems yet.

Nano techs are only $10-$20 and are awesome batteries. I can't see steeping down in quality to save just a few dollars.

had pretty decent luck with the Zippy packs so far as well as the Nano techs

I got the rebranded NanoTech's from another place and they are pretty good. Not up to the C rating they specify though. I'm sure the B could be reasonable, just throw a screamer (voltage alarm) on there to monitor pack voltage. I have an issue where one cell goes a lot lower than the other 2 (in 3S packs) if I discharge too fast. If I discharge slow (trail driving speed) then it's no problem.

You can if/when your rig catches on fire.

I've ran the zippy's from them - and they're fine. Just the name "B-Grade" kind of scares me.

if or when my rig catches on fire, I'll get to take really cool pictures and but another one!!! WOOHOOO!!!!

Do you have a link to the particular pack that you want?

YUP, that could always happen.....and I could die in a car wreck on my way to work too.

But thanks for diggin up bones!

Oh, and since you have nothing to add to the thread subject, no additional responses are needed.

I use Sky lipos. They're about 20$, and some of mine have lasted almost a year with almost 30-40 charges on them.
