Can't find the right battery!

[lostonthetrails]

I want a battery that follows these specs:
1300 - 2200 mah
35 - 40c discharge
70 - 80c peak discharge
15 - 20 amp charging capabilities
3 cell lipo
Made by a reliable brand
I know I'm being difficult but I need some help because I can't find it but know it's out there.

Turnigy 1800mAh 3S 30C Lipo Pack (USA Warehouse)


ZIPPY Flightmax 1800mAh 3S1P 40C (USA Warehouse)


I like hobbyking, used the us warehouse to dial down my choices. Although I have used the UK warehouse and I got my batteries in like 2 weeks, when I couldn't find what I wanted in the us warehouse.




Not exact but a starting point. I have only seen good zippys that lasted 2yrs... And I now have nano-tech 6000mah 25c2s with over 50+ charges on them so they are less then 50cents a run... Sorry I like to compare to nitro when in terms of cost per run.

How are they measuring charge rate? Never heard of 8c. I'm use to 5 amps = 1c

A 2200mah battery would be charging at 1c at 2.2a.
A 1800mah battery would need 1.8a to be charging at 1c.
This isn't something hobby king does any different then anyone else.

"C" is a function of the pack capacity..... thus "1C" is pack capacity (mah) divided by 1000.

As mentioned, a 1300mah pack @ 1C = 1.3amps, a 5000mah pack @ 1C = 5amps.

I always charge at 1C, it takes ~1 hour and gives longer life to the pack.

PS, check out www.CheapBatteryPacks.com , they have decent packs and you can get them with your choice of pack connectors.

I have been using valuehobby lipos for years.

Value Hobby R/C Hobby Store (Addison, Illinois): 3S LiPO - 11.1V - Batteries - Power

On average, all the ones I have bought last about 1-1.5 years. I always balance charge at 1C. I don't know how many cycles but they get used a lot in that time frame.

[B94Cast]

I have a few packs that are at least 2 years - I don't count actual cycles, but they still hold their capacity - slight puff - but after two years that's great. I solely balance charge at 1C as well, so that would make a difference too.

So never charge it at a rate greater than 30a.

How about a iCharger 206b. It gets up to 20a. not exactly 30a but close enough

iCharger has a unit that will charge at 70a.
