View Full Version : new battery
Hey all...I'm ready to get some extra batteries for this thing. These 5 minute flights then having to charge is getting old. I read some old threads and it looks like some of you like zippy and someother brands. I was wondering what everyone prefers now.

You're not the first person to say something like that. I may have to get some of those for my B400 when I get it.
Those Zippys are cheap. Do they last long?

I agree with rabidguineapig, I have two of these and can fly about 8-10 mins

I've only been at this since October, still going......I fly at least 6 times a day so plenty of cycles on them.
I do have some FP batteries too......I cant tell the difference in performance only my wallet.

you'll have to buy the e-flight battery connectors and solder them on

They come with either no connections, or I think you can get them with Deans or maybe EC3, but I'm not very sure about the EC3. It's not a big deal to solder other one's on.
what do you think of the xcite batteries for the blade 400?
I was considering the 2200

The Outrage batteries are VERY good, I had a chance to try one of these and has masses of power. KongPower and Dualsky are also very good.

I have these in 2500MAH 25C, they last 9 to 10 minuets in idle up. I changes all my conectors to deans.
