Hobbyking 60C batteries coming

[V0RT3X]

Testing Turnigy 60C packs now. Weight is only 6% more than a 30C. 10C Chrg, & if discharged @ 20-30C the cycle life will be years long!

Looks like a standard lipoly battery but it isn't! The new turnigy full nano-tech. 10C charging! Coming soon!

Info found on RCGroups.

Party hard?

10C charging? Geez, Looks like I'll have to run some 220v lines to my hobby room...

Those might start finding their way into EVs, just gotta do something to make them safer in bad collisions...

didnt you just buy some 30C batts from turnigy? Have they arrived yet? I want to know how they perform with your 1520...

[V0RT3X]

I bought some from yeshobby which are supposed to be the same as Turnigy. They should arrive sometime next week.

i was going to wait and see what you thought of them with your motor... but i just cant wait any longer! Need to get this thing running... im getting a little tired just pushinig my truck around the floor haha... need some powaaaaaaaaaa.

Anyway im going to order some now... Hopefuly i dont incur any customs charges...

Those 60c batts sounds great... any lead time on them?

I noticed they mentioned local USA & EU warrenty coming soon- that'll be a huge plus for a lot of guys.

[JoFreak]

Well, I just hope the USA & EU warranty won't harm the USA & EU prices...

Yeah, I doubt it though. Especially with the high amount of puffed cells and the shipping costs and time. None the less they perform great as long as you don't get a bad cell.

i think they mentioned nano-tech. i guess these are going to be LiFe packs. still worth checking out though.

[Jahay]

might get a set of these just to see how they perform... obviously they wont have the longevity of hyperionns but they could be worth a shot

I wouldn't have thought so the hyperion G3 LiPo cells use a partial nano tech hybrid, nano for the longer cycle life and high charge/discharge C rates and normal to keep the costs reasonable, if someone makes a full nano LiPo, mass manufactured in China to keep the costs down instead of mixing it with old tech it should be happy days for all of us.

Nanotechnology, shortened to "nanotech", is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale (per Wikipedia). Means nothing about battery type.

I don't see what the big deal is, MA has already had 60C packs for awhile

[Jahay]

they will be super cheap :)
