would these batteries be sutable?

hi all

just wondering if these would be ok as the price etc seems to good to be true!

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

neither if you were thinking of using them as your main power unit in a featherweight. The AA and similar design of batteries are not designed for high current applications and the wiring on those is the major giveaway (very small).

The old phrase is very true, if it seems too good to be true then it probably is.

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

though so got any batteries that would be?

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

matt, go for 2 of these wire them in series

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8-4V-3300mAh-NiMH ... 564093b27c

that will work well for you. just check with someone on here your electronize can take the voltage coz i dont know that one. you would want to change the tamiya connectors too, use your deans connectors instead.


this is how you wire batteries in series in case you didnt know, double the voltage :-)

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

if my 15a esc's would take the voltage then i would use those ones. are my batteries in parallel or series ade? aint had a chance to look at em since whitwick

I'll be throwing some vapex nimh in the for sale section in the next day or two.

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

would wiring 2 9.6V in series be too much to get away with or would 2 8.4V be better?

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

anyone know?

[typhoon_driver]

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

too much for what? You need to be more specific with your questions

[mattsdragons]

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

ah, sorry, not awake

to much for my 15a esc to handle but these will also have 25a fuses in to cope with the extra voltage

[typhoon_driver]

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

The 15A electronizes can handle 24v so either will be fine

[mattsdragons]

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

ah, ill got for the larger then

would bigger fuses be needed or not?

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

It doessn't really matter if they are in the wiring I would keep the in case the motor stalls

Re: would these batteries be sutable?

i used fuses for a while but then dropped them when one blew in the middle of a fight. Never had a 15A electronize fail on me even after shorting the BEC accidentally. Had two stalled drill motors on two seperate electronizes and they didn't blow.
