Neu batteries!?

[mmdooley]

Hi, Has anyone tried the NeuEnergy 5000mha 25/50c Lithium battery in a hard case?? And for $95 each they sound like a good deal.

[Serum]

they sure are a good deal!

From what i've heard from Mike, they are as good as flightpower packs.

I know when I am going to make the jump to LiPo's. NOW!!

It looks like the 2100 4S packs are $95, I couldn't only find prices for the 2100 packs, the other ones don't seem to be up.

Yep, those are the ones. When I buy these what will I need to take care of them? I have an ICE charger, I assume I will need a lvc but don't what else.

You'll also need a balancer if you don't have one, or the proper balancing tap adapter if you do have one already.

I am sorry Skellyo, You lost me a little. I don't have a balancer, And What would be the proper tap adapter?? Does that mean I need to get a balancer and a tap adapter both? And does it matter what brand balancer or tap adapter I get?
Thanks for the help

You'll need to find out what kind of taps are on the Neu packs first off. Typically, they'll either be Hyperion or Thunder Power. Once you know what kind of taps you have, you can either buy a balancer that is made to mate to that style tap, or you can buy a balancer and a tap adapter. I think the best thing to do would be to find out what style taps are on the packs and get back with us here so we can recommend balancers/tap adapters for you.

Hi all, I got my batteries, Now I need to know what else I need to get (first time using Li-Po's) I have read that the "Blinky" works with the Neu batteries and the "ICE" charger?? (I have a "ICE" charger) Now I have a dumb question. Do the hard cases come off to charge the batteries?? One more question. where do I get the male connectors like the ones on the Neu's

I ordered two of them a few days ago! I can't wait to get them, but I have no clue when they are coming in. No confirmation email or anything yet.

If Mike ever started carrying them in his store, I'd buy from here in a heartbeat. At least I would know if they were in stock and exactly when I would be receiveing them. I'm kinda hanging in the wind right now...

btw, they come with hyperion style balance tabs.

The last battery pack that I ordered from Neu took about two weeks to get.

How many cell is that $95.00 one I could'nt find it any where.
