Cheap 22.2v Lipo's

[Sam_RS4]

Anyone know anything about these lipo's? super cheap and don't seem to be branded

New 22.2v 3000mAh 35C Li Po Li-polymer RC Battery on eBay (end time 29-Mar-10 19:09:51 BST)

I noticed these as well but decided in the end not to take a chance and bought these RapidCharge 22.2v (6S) 2600mAh 30C From Heliguy.com
£5 more expensive but so far 15 cycles each they are just as good as my £120 batteries from thunder power and fit in my trex 500 perfectly.
Thx ross

They will be cheap imports from china, the delivery is free because they ship them as 'samples'. The dates that they say they cant deliver or respond to questions coincide with the chinese new year.. coincidence?? lol

Ross,

Sorry to hijack this but I also just bought two of the same Heliguy lipo's for my 500 esp (I have used their 3s 2200 lipos - I have 4 of them - which have been great).

Out of interest what sort of flight times are you getting from them - just sport stuff nothing special)?

Sam,

I'd be inclined to stay clear of these cheap imports, imho for the few extra quid its worth going to someone like Heliguy who have a reputation to maintain!

Cheers,
