Which lipo compares to 3300 mah batteries...

[tecnica2001]

I was wondering, which size lipo pack is comparable with a 3300mah NiMh battery pack in voltage output, ect...

Will the lipo last longer??

THanks in advance

PS -- i hope i worded it the right way

i been runnung these. they are good price, killer run time less than half the weight and size

the reason i ask is bacause I've seen a lot of rigs with very very small lipo packs and i was wondering about their power and run time,

I have a Brushless t3, and i has good run time, but it'll be way better if i had a couple of extra minutes of runtime

As well as my Crawlers.

I don't know about the t3 but in my crawler I run a common sense 11.1v 1100mah pack and can run through 3 comp couses and some bashin afterwords. The pack is nice and small.

With a lipo you should get more energy density. The lipos will be lighter, which will give you a little less of an amp draw, that in turns helps the runtime. If you add voltage, but drive it like a 7.4v pack... you actually get better runtime too.

So what your saying is a heavy throttle finger leads to decreased runtimes?

Thanks man,
A craftsman enjoys hearing a compliment here and there. I've made over 40,000 custom batts and rarely hear feedback. Thanks

I too just ordered 2 7 cell 2/3a ib packs and they are sweet! I WILL order again.
