Battery suggestions??

[Dustman]

I'm running an Align 4800 motor on my Corola. I have been using some short (in length) 11.1v batteries. I think I would like to go with a higher voltage to power the 4800, and I need to find a battery with dimensions around 145X45X20 mm. Any ideas?

Will your ESC handle more voltage?

Here is a couple of choices of 3S1P

The last two packs 3300 and 3700 mah.

Here is a couple 4S1P packs.

It's a Tower Pro BMC 30A esc. The label says "Current 30A Max 40A" I don't know if they mean input or output. I'll check with Tower web site and see if I can gather more info. Those are some great packs in those sites you gave me. I can't believe how close the measurements are to whatI need. Kool!! Thanx ! :D

Well,I guess it didn't come from Tower Hobbys. I seems to be a generic Hong Kong trade name. On the bottom of the label it says Li-Po 2-5 Ni-Mi 6-16. The closest thing I could find was one that read Li-Po2-4 Ni-Mi 6-16. The specs for it said 12V max input, but I didn't see any amp input specs. If you have a source of info for the one I have that would great. Thanx again! :noteworthy

If the max input voltage is 12 volt. You will need to stay with the 3S1P packs. The 4S1p packs will be 14.8 volts. Fully charged the 4S1P packs will be close to 18 volts.
