[rhysduk]

1 lipo just isn't enough now for my 450.
I have no idea what to get or what is good ?
I currently have a hexTronix 3s 2200mah....
I dnt need anything extreme, or too pricey as ill be getting 2 or 3 of them.

You need 2200mah 11.1v packs, buy as high a C rating as you can afford, gives the pack a little more guts, I tend to go for the 25 or 30C packs, as has a good price to oooomph ratio

I have 2 of these turnigy nanotechs & they seem pretty good so far

Thanks guys! What delivery like from HobbyKing to the UK?
If it's going to take a few days/weeks I'll try those Ebay lipos Thanks.

[del19_82]

My last order from HK took about 12 days, that was over the festive period though, so may be a wee bit shorter now

Thanks... Have nabbed one from Ebay for now will get some NanoTechs from HK when I decide how many Rx's i need for my planks.
Also picked up one of these: Overlander Lipo Auto Balancer - Chargers - BATTERIES/CHARGERS | Overlander Batteries to accompany my ProPeak Constellation charger. Hoep it has the right balance leads

Got some Zippy 2200mah 30c from hobbyking EU warehouse, took 4 days to arrive and so far Im really impressed for the price. One thing tho theyre a little bigger than other 2200's and the wires are thicker. Will be giving the nanotechs a go next time I order and see how they compare.

Nano's outperform the standard turnigys / flightmax by miles, smaller in size and weight as well.

The testing on the 25C 2200mah 3S Nanolites have shown them to be very poor. Internal resistance around 12 millohms per cell compared to 6 millohms for the Tipple 2300mah 3S from Giant Cod and others. The voltage drop under load is twice that of the Tipples. The claims from HobbyKing are ridiculous.

Tested my new nano 1s from flight power and they read under 2 mo for all cells. So very good.

I use Overlanders from my local shop. Not the absolute cheapest rote, but they're plenty good enough AND my local shop will still be there next week!

Dont go spend £50 on some thunderpower batts cuz imo they are not the best as they loose life quickly and the casing on the outside splits. i now have the turnigy nanotechs aswell as the thunderpowers and the nanotechs are far nicer, more compact and same power plus they dont loose life quickly.
