I got a battery pack for my JR 9303 at www.superbatterypacks.com. They're reasonably priced.

Here is a great choice for LiPoly. http://unitedhobbies.com/UNITEDHOBBI...idProduct=5280
I am using it in my JR 8103 but it is for Futaba . Check to see if it measures up to your pack in mm. or somewhere close. I had to solder on the JR connector. Get alot of extra flying time on one charge. Good Luck!!!

One more option is the Dualsky 2500mah TX pack from Vampowerpro.com. They're Futaba plugs, but I'm told they will plug into JR TXs if you pat attention to the polarity. They're getting some JR compatible ones in pretty soon, too.

Hey everyone,

I picked up a Ni-Cd 2650mah Tx batt a few months ago. It lasts a Loooong time. At least 20 flights a charge. I originally was looking for a Lithium batt but was told by a few peeps that some Tx's dont handle the extra voltage well. The lithiums put out 11.1 volts and the Tx has to be able to knock that down to 9.6 to work properly. So I went with a Ni-Cd and havent regretted the decision. I picked up my batt from Superbatterypacks.com. Good luck!

Bob

You could also try this one, A buddy of mine has had it in his JR9XII for almost 6 months now with no problems.

Basically, any 3s lipo pack that will fit will do the job, the difficult part is finding the right sized pack to fit into the existing battery compartment. The one in the post linked to fits perfectly.

I built up my own li-poly pack using six 800mA packs. I used a series parallel combination so I would have redundency. The pack was 1600mA and worked great for almost 2 years when I noticed it was showing signs of weekness. I consider 2 years to be replacement time anyway on any lithium pack used in expensive planes. The 10X will not have any problems with the voltage provided you use a three cell pack.
