|  winch and lights on 480mah 2 cell/2s 7.4v lipo?
I just bought a 480mah 2 cell/2s 7.4v lipo hoping to use for my winch without drawing anything from my main batt. Is this a decent choice? Would this be a good size battery to hook extra lights too also? |

I have a RC4WD Bulldog wireless winch and I went with a 1000mah 2s for it. I have 2 just in case one dies. I'm hoping that the batt will last a really long time. A 480mah should provide a pretty decent run time for the winch. But I wouldn't hook up lights to it if you are constantly using the winch or have the lights on all the time. Might drain the battery really quick.

Keep in mind you won't have any type of cutoff and could damage the smaller battery if you run it down too far. How many lights are you thinking of running and for how long? |

This brings up a good point; wouldn't be simpler and safer to run a larger mah battery and run your lights and winch off the power from the receiver feed by a BEC? | |

Traded in for 1350 mah lipo. That should last a bit?
