Very interesting thread as I only have one power pack so far for my Big Rock - a 3s Voltz 5000mah 50c. It was only marginally more expensive than a Chinese Amazon special and came with an ec5 connector. It’s probably had 10 cycles so far, only gets slightly warm in hard use and stays totally cool charging at 5A. I’m very good (so far) with my storage charging between uses and all cells are staying well balanced.

As a Speedrunner, my favorite batteries are the SMC 4s V2 6400's, the best batteries out there in terms of voltage sag under load. Their price, of course, reflects this quality at $130 each. They are worth it, added 4mph to my top speed

The socokin 6s 6000mah packs are out of stock until early march, because they got popular pretty quick.

Hrb and zeee stay away from awanfi

YooWoo, also the makers of HRB. (3s 5k mah 100c, Graphene) As of late for me. The flavor of the month for me. What I have among many brands. I like to mix and match. I don't invest in one brand only. I think that is foolish. Cell batching changes over time. What I recommend today regarding a lipo I bought 8 months ago, may not be a good lipo for you today. Whether a known $name$ brand or not.

 

[jrm850]

^agree. I like to try out other options.

(this is the charger i use, it's very good, so far, ive had it for about 4-5 years and no issues! it also charges all kinds of batteries, NiMH, NiCd, LiFe, LiIon, lipo. i really recommend it )

Hrb and zeee stay away from awanfi

I bought some awanfi 5000 mAh 3s, I am only getting 8-10 minutes of run time in my big rock. I can agree with you to stay away from them. I am still able to return them, gotta love amazon's 30 day return policy.

I am looking at the HRB 6000 mAh 3s. From what i'm reading HRB are pretty good for the price.

Love my CNHL packs!! Hands down so far the best lipos I've ran for speed running or bashing they are some hot powerful packs!! Just ordered a couple 4s packs on sale to run 8s in my speed rig, when I'm ready for that madness

What exactly does the XT90 fit onto? Other xt90 lol? I always wondered since most of the new rigs come with IC5?
