TBM 4800mAh Li-phos Battery

[scaryclary]

Purchased some batterys from Troy Built Models and was wondering if anybody has used them and what luck they have had with them.
I took one of them and split it and made 2 packs out of them.
they seem to work fine, but was wondering how reliable they are.
they are 4800mAh 6.6volts 2s2p 10c

How are these batt's working out for you? Looks like a good deal..

I have the TBM 2 cell 2400, which is made from the same cells that you have I think. I've been using it since last November with no issues. Very happy with it. I have absolutely no intention of buying another NiCad or NiMh reciever pack for any size plane again.

I`M buying 4 more to split , like you i will never use any other battery.
When i split them i go ahead and put a ballancing plug on them .they have a deans connecter and a JR plug witch makes it easy for me cause i needed one with deans and the other with JR so when i split them i never had to buy any plugs.
I flew all last weekend ( fri, sat, sun,) at a scale meet with them in my 35%er and never had to charge any.
only thing i really need to do is send my ignition to C&H to get it changed to take 7.4volts and no more regs.
How many amps are you charging at, and what charger are you useing.I have the I-Max 6 i purchased from Hobby City .It works great and saves up to 5 battery`s and show usage.
I think it only cost $38 with free shipping with purchase of another item. i think i bought 3 props and total was about $6 for shipping. I`ll probly buy another one for backup.
Keep intouch , I know were onto somthing great.

These are the best deal if you want to take the time to split them.
Just make sure you check for the positive and don`t wire them backwards
, there not the same as the A123`s
