Floureon Batteries, China

[Number]

I believe Revolectrix makes batteries of that size as well and cheaper than Pulse, might check them out as well. Only bad thing is shipping fromSingapore, but IMO it's well worth it they are great batteries.

The Floueon, 2 22.2v 5500mAh batteries, both took about an hour, my 406 had a fit trying to balance them (normal), my 406 finally finished @ 58.06 minutes. Not looking good for the Floureon.

The ZOP Battery, 22.2v 5500mAh, took about 24 minutes and balanced pretty easy. I don't know if was just good luck, or if this will be the norm. We will see.

I wouldn't even try, but at 1/2 the price of my 2 favorite batteries, I had to try them.

Earlier this evening after flying, I charged my batteries as I am going to do my best to go again in the morning.

My pulses all balanced charged within 15 to 22 minutes, NO problem.

The others, after 2 hours of trying to satisfy my Duo 406 balancing requirements, I just stopped the charge.

To me, this is not right, something is causing this, I am not an expert, but if my GenAce and Pulse will balance charge with no problem, why wont' the ZOP and Zippys?

I had two 4500mah ones and a 4500mah HRB (the cells look identical). I so far only flew the cheaper HRB in the old Trex 600ESP and 600CF flybar (yes still fb head with TT and smooth quiet belt drive lol). It lasted about the same time as the more expensive and much more heavier Turnigy HD 5000mah one (nose heavy), and Gens Ace 5000mah. So I'd guess the Floureon would also last that long.

They charge and balance alright wo any issue so far.
