Zippy battery cell quality - RC-Monster Forums

MrMin · **zippy-H 5000 20-30c or zippy flightmax 5000 30c -** 02.20.2009, 12:45 PM

...The weight is different and the dimensions are different..they got to be different cells. Does anyone really KNOW if the zippyh or zflightmax reliability issues... I have read a lot, but nobody has concrete figures or experience. Some says that the flightmax has more burst current, but suspect it does not last long.... both seem to heat up the same amount if drawing 150A continuously. Dont know the lifetime of the flightmax though.

Lets hear from the guys who really have some. They can tell us what to buy, because I'm in the market for some new lipos.. 3s...x 2 (OR 5s if possible...got ebay 5s cheapies on way as well...)

Lets hear it....

The flightmax packs just came out not to long ago from what I have seen. I dont think you are going to find anyone thats had them for a while. They do look well built and fairly bulky for a 5000mah pack so thats got to be a good sign.
