  • Whats the best battery for trex450se

    with price no object what would the best battery be??
    how long does it last?
    I ask this cos i only get about 6mins from my 1800mAh (12c)
    and about 7mins from my 2200mAh (18)
    Is there a battery that would give me about 15 or 20mins flying time, i only fly about and hover, im not into the 3d yet

    many thanks for any posts

    I'm quite new to this, but after looking myself for ages, these are the bad boys. There with the CellPro 4s charger (from the same site) seem amazing.

      As for 15 minutes flight... I think you're looking for the impossible, but other may correct me. I get 7 minutes, and have 20% available after flights.

          There are but don't expect to find space on the heli to fit it or the heli to be able to lift the additional weight, doubel the capacity and you (roughly) double the size and weigh of the pack. You are best to stick with packs around the 2100-2200 mark which is what the heli was designed for.

            these are the ones i'm using, find them excellent batteries, but i'm only getting 6-7 mins before my voltage warning alarm goes off. any more and it could damage the battery.

            Depending what your doing it can be quite long enough
            All the best

              I've got my timer set at 5 minutes using this pack in my E325 The important point is to check how much charge goes back into the pack and adjust your timer to keep under 80% of the battery capacity used, I prefer this to voltage alarms.
