  • 550e battery

    It's time to buy some batteries for the 550e.

    I have been running 4500 mAh 30-40C
    Just wondered what the best options are that will give me enough for my sport style flying and not break the bank too much ! ;-)
    What size are you all using?

    5000 nanos turnigys.

    Perfect for my sort of flying. I have to move them quite a bit forward to get the cog with them but them and normals work very well.

      Try these:

      HobbyKing Online R/C Hobby Store : Turnigy 4500mAh 6S 30C Lipo Pack

      I run the 5S 3300 30C packs singly in my 500 and as 10s in my 600 and I have got going on 70 cycles so far on them with no real loss of power.

          The turnigy are what I currently have but had one look like a rugby ball on Saturday ;-(
          Maybe just have been a bad one after being flown too hard, ( not by me! )

            Turnigy 6s 5000 40C packs and Zippy 6s 5800 30c Packs. Both deliver the goods on the 550 for me.

              Do the 5000 packs fit easily between the frame as my existing 4500 are tight?

                  Between the frames?

                  The 5000 dont but i find i have them butted up to the frames for perfect cog where as the lighter nano techs are forward on the mount in to the nose so with 4500's i would have thought they would have needed to be more forward?? Guess not though.

                  The nano techs would fit though

                    Hey.

                    6:30 is a good time, what head speed are you running?
                    On 5000mah packs I can only get 4:35 if I am really going for it in hard 3D and even then I sometimes go over the 80% mark a little.

                    As well as an Align 5200mah 40C, an Arrowwind 5000mah 30C I do have a Turnigy 5000mah 30C which also works well. It's a cheap pack to get extra airtime with and the 30C rating works well with no puffing.

                        I know what you are going to say but check my thread on the overlander 2700 sports packs.
                        I am using these on my 550E and get 6 mins of sports flight.
                        Geek did a soft 3d Flight and got best part of 6 mins.

                        They are less than £51 form Overlander or you can get them from me for only £47

                        Just try one.
