Li Po Batteries
skyhawk newbie:
--- Quote from: "Happy Days" ---Ahrrrrreee. Now we understand a little bit more. :wink:
The battery you want is a 1100mAh 3cell (shown as 3S in the adverts) Li-po with a discharge rate of around 20C (20 times it’s capacity)
So,…..if you look in the adverts for a Li-po batteries = 1100mAh 3S 20C will give you about the same powered flight time as the original Metal-Hydride battery set up the plane originally had.
If you wanted to use the propeller for longer periods you could get a bigger 3cell li-po, may be a 1500mAh. But you must ensure that whichever size battery you get it will physically fit into the plane. The shops selling them will normally tell you the physical size of each battery.

Glad to be of help…………..word of caution when buying lipo’s off ebay Skyhawk.
I’ve heard of many people buying a real "bargin" lipo off eBay, only to find that it only worked for 20 or 30 cycles, (Charges & discharges) and then just died!
If I were you, I’d stick to well know brands, ie Flight power, Flightech, Dualsky, Kong Power, E-flight, Kokam. There are other reliable manufacturers as well, (I can’t think of them all) but any of the above should give you a good 300 or more cycles.

No, you can’t go to a higher voltage because 3S is the highest that the ESC (speed controller) is designed to work at.
Turnigy is a good brand. Of the list on the site you’ve referred to I’d think the 1300mAh would be best,…….but I don’t know if it would physically fit into your model.. You’ll have to check it’s size.
B.T.W. Why are you buying your batteries from the States? It would be easier and quicker to get them in the UK or Ireland.
