Ec5's will work, they are just brand specific so nobody gets a lawsuit!! Same plug essentially!!Hi,ive been looking at the 3s lipo batteries from amazon and I can't find any with the ic5 connector, most have ec5 or deans T connector.
Im looking at the zeee brand . help !!
EC5 is the same and compatible with IC5. I have had good experience with Zeee batteries and others have done well with Hoovo.Hi,ive been looking at the 3s lipo batteries from amazon and I can't find any with the ic5 connector, most have ec5 or deans T connector.

You know what @SrC .. Im about done with you throwing my Co. Under the bus, u better knock it off!!You will have to use Spektrum lipos to get IC5 connectors. I don't recommend Spektrum lipos however. Expensive and dot perform like many others at 1/2 the price. The only advantage with the Smart having the IC5 connector is SMart features at the radio and reuiring to have Spektrum charger to see additional SMart charging features. Any EC5 connector lipo of anther brand will perfectly connect to an IC5 ESC with the Kraton. Both connectors are a compatible fit by design.
Thank you, my son has only just turned 10,he is fantastic in controlling his other rc car hence going up in speed, IYou will have to use Spektrum lipos to get IC5 connectors.

BTW, my son at 11 yo is now running his Notorious on full 6s power and also his 6s Infraction close to 100mph. Kids have great eye hand coordination once they devlope the skills. Kids just need alot of safe space to run these powerful 50 mph 13 pound rigs away from people and animals for the most part. Need some supervision also. Been there.
Not usually found on cheaper brand Lipos and even with some expensive brands.
My Povway 3s has terrible IRs, 48 total, 15, 16, 17. It’s not even a year old! My Hoovo 2s which is a year and half old has amazing IRs at 7 total, 4, 3.My Zeee Single 6s brick Lipo is one of my worst performing packs and got tired faster than most others here . (6k Mah/50c) Still works, but cells are way unbalanced and IR's are getting higher and higher. And it puffed a bit early on. But Zeee's can be had cheaply enough if you shop around. I also got mine from AMZ.
My thoughts.
Many say the Spektrum lipos suck too. Many end up leaving that Smart Eco thing and go for other lipos because of this.Especially for the price point. With stock power setups, the Spektrums usually serve well enough in some cases. Start pushing them with higher gearing, upgrade motors etc, and they peter out too. The Actual C rates are probably to blame. You are largely paying for the Smart Spektrum Eco thing IMHO.
No faith in them @SrC.. I push my 26t senton hard with a 20 month old 50cYeah my 6s Zeee takes forever to charge also, because they have a very hard time balancing at the tale end of the charge cycle.
Balancing takes forever. Zeee's probably don't come with the best matched cells. You pay for that sometimes in a brand. Just not always. Lipos are a mixed bag. I keep on saying this. I know.
omg you have completely lost me. Unbalanced IR's are getting higher and higher ? All this sounds daunting !

FWIW, I will say that my Zeee pack came with 10 guage wires.
Usually come with 12 guage thinner wires.

, as you can see im a complete novice, and am now feeling quite anxious.Ive purchased a charging bag, that I do know lol .

Here is where years of trial and error come into play in these conversations, coming from those who are eager to share Their insight. There are a lot of tech aspects to lipo batteries....omg you have completely lost me. Unbalanced IR's are getting higher and higher ? All this sounds daunting !

I charged it, and it’s now perfectly balanced! I think my cousin’s charger isn’t the best at balancing.Looks close enough to me.... why split hairs on a fraction of a decimal?... That .02 will never make a difference.. I think people read into this aspect, and call it an issue far to much.. I'd gladly take a pack that close any day..
Those will be perfectly fine to start with.
