I purchased my son an RC boat (the UDIRC UDI005 arrow) for Christmas and it came with a generic 11.1v 2500mAh (27.7Wh) lipo that uses an XT60 styled plug. I’m hoping to find a larger mAh battery for longer run time or convert the ic5 to xt60. A 11.1v 2500mAh lipo will last a very short time. I have several 2s ic5 lipos. I’m wondering if it’s safe and possible to convert a Spektrum 7.4V 5000mAh 2S 50C Smart LiPo that uses an IC5 to a 11.1v XT60 connection? Or is it safer and easier to buy a larger mAh with the xt60 already in place? How do I know how big of a mAh or max ‘C’ ratings I can safely use? Being an overseas manufactured boat, the customer service is extremely limited and won’t recommend a battery or any further information. The manual is also limited on information. The company will only sell me the generic 2500 mAh that was included. Any recommendations?
Merry Christmas everyone!
