AERO 800 5/4AAA New multimeter came in the mail today, so i took some readings to see if these AERO nimh cells are up to the task, ive been flying one 8 cell and one 9 cell pack of them, seem to have more power and duration than the sanyo 720's, heres what i got
both packs HOC 10 seconds into the run
GWS eps300c-bs apc 10x4.7 prop
Sanyo 720 nimh AAA 8.6A 7.3 V 62.78 watts-very hard on these batteries
Aero 800 5/4AAA 9.9A 8.0V 79.2 watts-packs arent nearly as warm as the sanyos after a flight
so far i maybe have 10 cycles on each Aero pack, so time will tell, but for $1.20 a cell, you cant go wrong

Dylan http://www.tinyrc.com/forums/ showthread.php?s=&threadid=7831 Cheap Batteries! www.batterieswholesale.com they sell 1/4 AAA 150mAH batteries for 92 cents each if you buy ten, 74 cents each if you buy 20 etc. etc. however shipping is ass expensive. i checked it and for ten batteries it costs 9.20 while shipping costs like 17.40 (what the hell?). so you're better off buying their sampler pack. the sampler pack includes 8 batteries for 13 american and includes shipping fees. so that works out to like 1.60 per battery which is cheap. i bought 8 with my friend and they came in the mail. i couldn't believe how small it was, i opened the envelope and it's surrounded by bubble wrap, at first i thought it was empty cuz i couldnt find the batteries lol. i really dont see how shipping coulda been 17 dollars i'm pretty sure it would cost like 5 dollars canadian if i shipped it. anyways they're in australia so it takes a week or two before the batteries come but they're worth it. 8 for 13 dollars including shipping. so i suggest whoever wants some go buy it from that site cuz that's the cheapest price you'll get. if you dont need 8, just buy it and sell it to some friends that's what i'm gonna do. me and my friend are doing a 3 bat mod so we'll have 4 batteries left over (2 from the sampler pack and the 2 that come inside the bit char-g's) so we're going to sell it to some friends and make the money back lol. __________________

I just ordered 8 1/3 AAA 210mah cells for $13 shipped to my house from batterieswholesale.com. And after frying the stock battery by using 6V straight into the car instead of 4.5V, I justed ordered the DuraTrax AC/DC Piranha Digital Peak Charger NiCd/NiMH from towerhobbies for about $50 ($58 shipped).
Well the car has been running for over 38 minutes and it's still going strong. I'd keep going but I've got to get some sleep.
Highly recommend the Peak Charger and 3 1/3 AAA 210mAh batteries mod (just make sure you're good at soldering batteries).

Looks interesting. The 10C discharge batteries are on the bottom of the page.
Anyone using these cells??
hoppy I bought a bunch of the 3000mAh cells but have only had one flight on a pack ( unexpected arrival ). However, the pack did seem to perform as well as the rc 3000 hv. I will be able to tell more in about a week when the plane I am repairing takes to the air. A buddy of mine got some of the fast charge 600 NiCd cells and he is quite happy with them. |
