Re: Who using A123 batteries?

I am using A123 on my WildHare Sukhoi and so far so good. I run one pack with two leads through two switches with two connections to the rcvr. I fly 5 good flights (12 min ea) and then recharge. That takes 15 minutes or so. I am in love so far. Ask me again in 5 years and see if I have the same love for these batteries as only time will tell.

Re: Who using A123 batteries?

That price is for the battery only. He was showing an example of the charger everyone is using. He does carry the cellpro chargers though. Give him a call he will take care of you.

Re: Who using A123 batteries?

So there is no confusion, Sincity does not have the chargers for 44.00 that is actually an A123 pack with a cell pro lead attached. He is selling the charger for 74.95.

Re: Who using A123 batteries?

I just switched my 50cc planes to A123...Today is my 2nd day at the field with them...I got 4 flights...and only used a total 800 mah..Extreme Flight 88" Yak...5955s everywhere including throttle. Decided to show off and recharged at the field...9 minutes at 10 amps..using TP-1010c charger. Now that is impressive.

Thats what Id like to know too. The new Cellpro charger can be used at 10A. The current 4A charger needs the 2s pack to be wired with a 3 pole lead for charging. Cant do that with a Deans AFIK so Im guessing they will need to change the setup in their new one.

Re: Who using A123 batteries?

Im not sure how to balance them with the 1010. The A123racing batteries have a deans connector and a single pig tail. I have the TP balancer but not sure which one to plug into..From what I have been told though...these things really balance quite well and dont have the out of balance problems li-io and li-po batteries have.
