New Duralite e-PLUS System Batteries and Balancer

[WillJames]

Hi Everybody, There is another identical post in teh main forum, but I wanted to put it here also so the people going straight to the Duralite forum can see the new Li-Po's!!

Got my little box from Duralite today!!

These are the new e-PLUS SILVER Series of packs and the new Duralite STAY BALANCE MODULE.

The packs look very nice, VERY high quality, with spacers built into the packs to allow for airflow between cells. The first 1050mah pack I pulled out of the package and charged (in photo below) took 23 minutes to peak on my Shulze charger. The STAY BALLANCE Module showed it to be in balance throughout the charge and when I disconnected the charger. I will hopefully get a connector soldered in it in a few minutes and have a flight and let you know what my first impression is. I will write up a lot more detailed review once I have had a chance to try them out. I plan on putting a variety of connectors on them so when you see me at the field/events come up and find me and you can try them out and see what you think first hand. :)

Stay tuned for more info.

23 minutes? I hope that the cell was mostly already charged then. Or else, it sounds like you charged it at like 3c?

All of the last Duralite Packs I have ordered were mostly charged. I should have said took 23 minutes to peak. :)

Flying report tomorrow if the weather holds up. :)
