Per voltage and MAH the price is not comparable

Hear me out , a 3200 battery at 5s is cheaper to do twice than to build one at only 5000 mah ??

Is there a battery expert in the house ?
I 'll search in tutorials again


Sure dont make getting a battery easy do they
You run them in parallel, I messed up in my last post, fixed now. Sorry for the confusion, long day at work for me!

yep sorry , I had to read a few times sorry , I just returned from getting my taxes done, yawn headache.


EDIT correction:

It's a 64amp 20c each , if Paralleled it doubles to 128 amp continuous

Two 5000mah 5s 20c (64amps/128brst) / divide by 1000 is 128 amps continuous /256 burst
or
Two 3200 5s 20c Packs = 6400 5s 128 amps continuous

It's 80amp c each , if Paralleled does it double to 160amp continuous ?

gonna need 120a
Yep double the capacity (mah) and you double the amp output. The C rating remains the same as that is related to the individual cells.

As linc said, you are not going to really tell a diff in punch between the two. I would just go by what fits your app better. The 2500 cells are good (I have some) but they are short packs and somewhat tall. The others will lay flatter.

The 2500 packs is what got my crt.5 past 60mph. Either those packs will get an 1/8th to 50 if the motor and gearing is right.

Sounds good.
it's so weird though to see a 5s 5000 25c 120a for $189. but be able to buy two lipos to get 6400 25c x 2=160a at only $140.

how is that possible ? this should be over $200.

Anybody know the amperage of the Castle 2200 ?

Does the motor only pull the amps it needs?

My Cheap Feigao 2382 is only rated at 95 max Amps

so worried if the new batteries are going to fry it or I should get a Castle 2200 , any answers ? ?

It's rated for 110amps, but most of the run will be alot less, and spikes that are alot more. Weight of your rc and gearing will determine the amp draw and also how hard you pull on the throttle.

yea I was trying to figure what charge rate would be for those 3200's or if the 3200XP's are better and in what advantage ?


I read it was 95 amps.
I'm guessing weight with lipos will be 10 lbs.
the darn Fago motr weight over a lb 13.+ oz.

HAHA, I only put it large font as Speed did not seem to notice that myself and a few others had previously mentioned it....

As far as bush beating goes, well I usually try to keep out of the woods. I prefer a well manicured lawn, with a good view of the mountains.
