600 Pro Lipo Size

.....eventually, I got a few of the 2200 nanos for my 450. Very dissapointed

Lets hope my 3300 nano's are not the same then !!

There was a big thing about when the nanos came out, and seemed to be the choice of preference.

Thought that after a few cycles that they would perform better, but saw none of it! The 'normal' ones seemed to perform better, and until someone can confirm different, I would carry on buying the 'normal' ones over the nanos..

Yep I keep hearing that flying the 2 back to back , the nanos always pack less punch!

I have to be honest I am not very impressed. I have got 2 3300mAh 6S Nanos. They are both below 20 flights and starting to puff. Also on one of the packs the IR on 2 of the cells has risen significantly. They are nominally around 3-4mOhms (depending on state of charge) but the 2 iffy cells are reading around 5-6mOhms so an increase of almost 50%.

I bought these over the standard Turnigys as I wanted increased flight time and the 3300 nanos were about the same weight as the 3000 standard packs.

I now wish I would of just bought the standard 3000mAh lipos, they are about £30 as opposed to £50 for the 3300mAh nanos.

I have also got a 3S 2200mAh 45C nano which to be fair has been pretty good and has got low IRs which are near to the IRs of the iffy cells in my 6S 3300 (i.e. around 5-6 mOhms)

I was considering getting some Opti packs next but £75 for a 6S 3000mAh pack is just too much for me. If they were around the £60 mark like the 6S 2650mAh packs then I may of went for it.

Im waiting on the 3000 mAhs to come back into stock at the HK German warehouse where they can be had for £35 each.

Hi Guys, My kit arrives tomorrow and I have been doing some research into the batteries, I have found the following from reading other forums from across the pond:

Turnigy - 3000mah 30c, 3300 30c, 3600 30c All fit no problem
4000mah 30-40c can be made to fit, may require dremel work, I'm not prepared to do this.

Nano-Techs - 3300mah 25-50c, 45c-90c Fit no issues
4000mah 45-90c can be made to fit but need to be turned on side, and wired so to not cut
wires when sliding batteries in. length 163mm.

I found this post helpful: Can we get a battery compatability list? - Page 7 - HeliFreak

As it gives max height and width of battery tray, what it lacks is length of battery tray so I can figure out if
the 4000mah's are too long to safely install (may interfere with canopy) can anyone help with this please?

Also how many of the battery trays are installed in the kit? The only place I can find these are on ebay?

I was hoping to get the nano-techs but from reading your posts its either the 3000mah 30c or 3600mah 30c Turnigys depending on price when I get it semi built. I'm only interested in Hobbyking sourced batteries as they are cheap and have served me well in the past, for others of you with no children below shows what others have tried and are flying with:

Voltz 3700mah 35c 12S split pack, 3300mah 35c Fit ok

Align 3300 not sure of c rating- fit

Gens Ace 3300 25c fit

Pulse 3300 45c, 3700 65c fit

Flightpower Evo-Ultra 50c 3300 fit

ThunderPower 3300mah 65c fit

Happy Flying!

I can also confirm that 2600 30C Kokhams fit and fly suprisingly well considering there small size :-)

I fly mine on, 2600 kokhams, 3300 Turnigy's & 3000 Turnigy's (both the standard type). 5 minute flights at 95% throttle and the batteries arent barely luke warm.

I do have some Thunderpower 6s 5000's but no chance of shoe horning them in. The length is no problem but from memory anything larger than 45mm square is going to be too tight.
