Ha! Look at the Detail Police go crazy. I love it.

Send me an email and we can get it figured out! - Dave

Question: If the 1250 mAh represents run time, how long does that translate to approximately in minutes? Thanks. This is an unbelievably informative video.

Just like a gas engine, it depends on how big your motor is and how much you go full blast. Anywhere between 7-15 minutes. For me its about 10.

3S means 3 cells in series. The 'S' is for 'series'. These days we are flying bigger planes requiring larger voltages and/or higher capacities. So we add the 'P' for number of batteries in parallel. So a 3S1P battery has 3 cells and is 11.1v. If you connect two of these batteries in parallel, you will have a 3S2P, still 11.1v, but double the capacity. 5S2P would have 18.5v and double the capacity of a 5S1P battery.

I agree! And he doesn't explain what the C rating actually means, and this value is very important these days, what with all the brushless monster trucks that are (going to be) hitting the scene this year.

Thanx Dave, very helpful for the noob!

would 2200mah support esc

@flyinportopotty WRONG! "to find the amperage you must divide the milliamps by the c rating". You must MULTIPLY the milliamps by the C rating. So a 30C will last 3 times as long as a 10C. You are totally backwards.

@dalotel Not so sure about that anymore. Batteries, motors, ESCs have come way down, especially if you but the zippy batteries from china. I just bought a .60 size conversion from Grayson for about $90 for electric motor and ESC (non-BEC) and get my Zippy batteries from China for about $30. Not to mention over the last 2 years I have lost 2 planes due to nitro engine crap-outs.

@flyinportopotty Are you sure about this? If a 2000 mah 10C gives me 6 min and a 2000 mah 40C give me 1.5 min then why does the worst battery cost so much more?

hi

can i ask what would give longer runtine.

x1 5000mah 4s.....40c

or

x2 5000 mah 2s.......40c per battery

BIG THANKS

[zotter7]

i just bought a 3.7V 350mAh Lithium-ion polymer battery what do i charge it at, what amps, and what do i need to to know so it lasts long and safe

[stretch654]

Very, very helpful. This has answered many questions for me. Thanks.

Where is the glow engine tuning video Dave? For the price of a li-po charger you can get your flight box and fuel ready for the season.
