Hi All,

I work at Common Sense RC and wanted to introduce myself.

See you around the forum!

Hi! I had a Lectron battery from CommonSenseRC but I had a very bad crash where I lost view of my heli when it flew over the roof of the house and ended up being dragged by the wind and losing range to the transmitter. I recovered it and the battery looked good but given all the potential issues with damaged LiPo's I did not want to risk a fire or explosion so I just had to dispose of the battery. It was a 950mAh and it lasted lot more than the stock and about the same as the 1000mAh Microheli battery. I bought a 360CFX later and had to buy a new charger for the 6S batteries but given a 1C charge rate on the smaller batteries, would it be ok to charge at 1amp? I am thinking on buying another battery and don't use the stock anymore because I want to standardize to the same mAh battery to have standard flying times and set a timer that won't kick the ESC into LVC mode.

It sounds like the smaller battery you are talking about is the Lectron Pro 11.1v 950mAh 30C for the Blade 200 SR X. If so, then they can be charged at up to a 2C rate, so 1A is fine.

I'm glad you like our Lectron Pro batteries. Try our 22.2v 1300mAh 35C lipo for the Blade 360 CFX if you haven't already. That one has been very popular.

When I was shopping around since I do not have welding skills or equipment yet I needed one with EC3 connector already soldered. The only ones were stock (never could find them everyone apparently purchased them) and the Venom of which I ended up buying 3. And yes the other battery was for the 200SRX. I run the Microheli and the stock on that one.

Well you will be pleased to know that our battery for the Blade 360 CFX comes with the EC3 connector. Keep us in mind the next time you need to buy a new battery.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
