  • Flight battery

    Can anyone recommend a flight battery for my 600N? Im currently using Align 2s 1900's on a 2 in 1 regulator but i want something at least double the capacity to save swopping lipos every 3-4 flights. Thanks in advance.

    Sacko has a 3000 hyperion life pack for sale in classifieds.
    I use one of these on my fusion 50 & it gives 4 to 5 flights easily.
    Of course you need to have a charger that can charge life packs.
    Another option could be to parallel connect two of your align packs to double the capacity.
    You would then have 3800 mah at your disposal. You'd need to make up a harness but would be fairly simple to do.

        Outrage or Galaxy 3600mah ones will be fine.

          Check C of G of model with existing battery. If the model is spot on then keep using the same pack. If it is nose heavy then the pack is already too heavy or you have something too heavy up front. Using a bigger pack will only make the model more nose heavy. If the model is tail heavy, happy days you can add more weight be using a bigger battery. How much bigger depends on the weight to get the model balanced.

          Randomly stuffing on a bigger battery is not conducive to having a good flying model.

            Where do you put it Martin, looking at doing the same but having trouble finding somewhere to strap it
