GAUI X5 Battery Database

[Geffect]

Ive decided to start a X5 battery database. Ive quickly gone through a few posts to grab the most common batteries to start the ball rolling..

Batteries are to be 3800mah or larger. Please advise if battery fits with or without battery fence/frame stiffener.


Please keep the thread for database updates, amending errors ...etc.

Any suggestions on formatting or additional information that should be collated please let me know..

Geffect, this is a great Idea. This is one of those questions that I see coming up over and over. If others like the idea I will stick it.

However, I don't understand how you can fit a Turnigy nano under there. They are 163mm long!!! I can barely fit the regular 30c 4000mah packs and they're only 143mm. I don't use the battery fence.

I was wondering the same thing as 163mm is long.. I put it in after seeing this post https://www.helifreak.com/showpost.p...48&postcount=3

I saw that post too, but I still have to question it... perhaps he modified his canopy? Or is not using the standard canopy? I can't figure it out. I KNOW that I have maybe 4mm clearance with those Turnigy packs... I can't imagine a battery 20mm longer fitting!

I can vouch for the Voltz... they fit without strain at all... perfect pack for this bird...in size at least...mine is starting to puff a little after each flight (only have 50 cycles on it so far).

ive moved the Nanotech 4000/45 to the "not confirmed" list.

What about without the fence? Fits?

[what-d-heli]

I don't know if anyone uses ProTek liPos. But I have one before: 4200mah 45C 6S for my X5 with battery Fence and it fits just right with a little more room at the nose end of the canopy:

For more details and dimension:

Hope it helps.

OptiPower 4300mAh packs fit with or without fence.

I added them to the first post and made this thread a sticky

G, I also did a little formatting to make it easier to read, if you dont like it go ahead and let me know.

GensAce 3300 25C
Turnigy 4000 20C (tight fit)

Turnigy 4500 25C without fence, really tight fit but fits

Wespen,

Ive added the Turnigy 4000/20c to the list. The Genace 3300/25 is a bit small for the X5, so it wont be added.

I couldnt find any details for the Turnigy 4500/25C.. There is a Turnigy Nano-tech 4500/25C listed on Hobbykings website.. Please confirm if its Turnigy (Blue) or the new Turnigy Nano Tech series.

Cheers
G-effect.
