Lipo batteries

[akphill]

I received the new lipo's for the 450 class heli's

I thought my esky 1800 mah bat was getting old 18 month's old so I ordered what I thought would maybe be a more powerfull set of bat's
so ordered a turnigy 2650 with 30-40 c discharge rate

The weather has been nasty since I received them in the mail
was just wondering what and if anyone else has tried these and could give some sort of performance report on them so that I wont be surprised if they don't work that well

Not a 2650. But I did have a few 2200 30c. They pack a nice punch!

2200 Turnigy's here, too. I like to keep my 450 LiPo's under the 200 gram mark, although I've read the Mini Titan likes a 2500-2650 LiPo.

I also run 2200's.
Be sure to check the CG with that battery. It's going to be heavier.

I hate it when a plan goes gunny bags on me

I can balance the heli's out with the new bats

Now for the problem they are to long for the canopy's to fit on also ;D

So do you guy's think that maybe I could hook two of them together and use them on one of the 500 heli's that I have 22.4 volts ;D

Hmmm?

Yup! We do that all the time with the Strykers and Fun Jets. We just do a series connection. As far as keeping the two packs together I'd use one or two rubber bands for the packs and then separate ones to strap them to the battery plate.

Or you could hot glue them together! Hahaha!

No seriously, that's what I'd do I love hot glue.

Running in series is about all you can do with those now, Phil, unless you have something with a longer canopy. You'll still only get 2650mAh with them series'd together which will be on the low side for flight times. 3000 or 3300mAh is a better size for a 500, flight time-wise.
