laptop batterys are Lipo if i am not mistaken...

floogldood · 05-29-2006, 10:51 AM

Yes, I assumed it was a li-ion when he said lap-top. Not sure how many cell it is though. Either way a 3S works good on the 1/6 scale (soon to try 4S)

mikeescott · 05-29-2006, 02:14 PM

A lot of the laptop batts are 11.1 volts and many are 4400-8800mah

nylints wont run on 11.1 volts....or at least mine wont, i tested it one day after it started surging from a low battery and it was putting out like 11.35 volts and already surging.....

floogldood · 05-29-2006, 03:45 PM

That's strange, I just converted mine to 3S and surges at exactly 10.5 volts. It works perfect as my LCV :-P . I figured a 4S may be overdischarged before one realised it.

mikeescott · 06-04-2006, 07:47 PM

I found some D cells that are 10,000mah and 1.2V X 10 for a total of 3 3/4 lbs which is about the same as stock but 2 1/2 times the runtime. Is the runtime worth the weight and space on a custom chassis?

hotrodzach · 06-04-2006, 07:51 PM

wow, how much does something like that cost, i guess it may be worth the weight...but where would you put it, it would be huge.

SlammedMini469 · 06-04-2006, 07:52 PM

put 5 on the front axle and 5 on the chassis....

where did you find these?

hotrodzach · 06-04-2006, 07:53 PM

that's really too big i think, it would kinda kill the look of the crawler.

SlammedMini469 · 06-04-2006, 07:54 PM

cant be any worse than mounting a F&F battery on he front axle...

hotrodzach · 06-04-2006, 07:56 PM

yeah but the ff battery is cleaner looking than that

floogldood · 06-04-2006, 08:48 PM

I would say it is definately not "worth the weight"

then again I am using only 1700-2000 and get bored with the run-time. I like it lite.

9 D-cells are about the same size as the stock batt. I can drop 10 in place of the stock batt in the stock chassis and still snap the body on with no problems. Just need a way to connect them and still be able to charge them.

that would be the better way to go in my opinion

Smash N Bash · 06-10-2006, 08:05 PM

Anybody just try dropping in 2 six cell packs yet??? I have 2 coming, but I don't want to fry the boards but I really don't want to make a pack out of them lol.

hotrodzach · 06-11-2006, 10:24 AM

I have an old circuiboard that is fried except for the steering turning one way, so when i get some 7.2 packs i will try it, and if it works, I will go with it on my good one...im not too optimistic about it though, that seems overkill for the circuitboard.

floogldood · 06-11-2006, 10:25 AM

I used 12 cells in mine for a while until I went to lipo. They were AA though. I expect it to take over 20 volts.

hotrodzach · 06-11-2006, 10:35 AM

then i guess i will just try two 9.6 volt batteries. I really don't have much to lose since the circuitboard is already useless except for this one test.

SlammedMini469 · 06-11-2006, 01:47 PM

there have been a couple people who ran the nylints on 14.4 volts without a problem....

19.2 might be the death of it......
