PLEASE SPECIFY THE CONNECTOR TYPE AND WHAT RC IT WILL BE FOR SO I CAN WIRE FOR BEST FIT.
THIS IS A BRAND NEW 7.4V 2 CELL 6000mAh BRUSHLESS E-REVO, SUMMIT, EMAXX, SLASH, SLASH 4x4, STAMPEDE 4X4 VXL, SPARTAN, OR SAVAGE FLUX BRUSHLESS RC LIPO. RUN 2 IN SERIES FOR 4 CELL WHEELIES ON DEMAND AND SPEEDS OF 45-55+ MPH DEPENDING ON YOUR GEARING AND SYSTEM IN SUMMIT, E-MAXX, E-REVO, SAVAGE FLUX, ETC.THE PACK IS A PERFECT FIT FOR SLASH BUT NOT RUSTLER, STAMPEDE, OR ANY RC WITH A SHORT 6 CELL BATTERY BOX. THE TEAM ASSOCIATED SC10 HAS A SKINNIER BATTERY BOX THEN MOST. THIS PACK WILL FIT THE SC10 BUT IS TIGHT. BE SURE TO NEVER OVER DISCHARGE ANY LIPO BATTERY BELOW 3.2V PER CELL. IF YOUR ESC DOES NOT SUPPORT LVC THEN YOU WILL NEED A WAY TO MONITOR THE CELLS LIKE AN EXTERNAL LVC DEVICE. THESE CELLS ARE DESIGNED FOR COMPETITION 3D HELI FLIGHT AND HAVE INSANE BURST AMP DELIVERY. I BUILD MY PACKS WITH 3 LAYERS OF SHRINK WRAP TO BE BULLET PROOF. I HAVE TESTED MANY CELLS OVER 5000mAh LOOKING FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR RUNTIME AND POWER. MANY CELLS THAT I TESTED CLAIMING TO BE 30C-60C BURST OVER 5000mAh WERE CLOSER TO 18C-25C AT BEST. THIS CAUSES SHORTER RUNTIME PER mAh AND MORE HEAT PLUS LESS PUNCH. ALL NEW PACKS ARE FULLY TESTED FOR 5 CYCLES WITH A CELL ANALYZER/DISCHARGER BEFORE SHIPPING. PLEASE SPECIFY THE CONNECTOR TYPE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE INSTALLED AT CHECKOUT. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER RC ITEMS. THANKS.
A FEW THINGS ABOUT LIPO BATTERIES AS I CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MISUSE:
MAX CHARGE RATE 12.0 AMPS
1. Charging/Saftey IMPORTANT!
Until you are willing to follow all saftey precautions, DO NOT use lithium batteries. If your a type of person that prefers to push the limits of products, or be haphazard about following saftey requirements. Lithium technology is not for you. Read on to find out why.
Lithium cells must be charged very differently than NiCad or NiMH. They require a special charger specifically designed to charge lithium cells. In general any charger that can charge lithium ion can charge lithium polymer, assuming that the cell count is correct. You must NEVER charge lithium cells with a NiCad or NiMH only battery charger. This is dangerous. Charging cells is the most hazardous part of using lithium batteries. EXTREME care must be taken when charging them. It is important to set your charger to the correct voltage or cell count. Failure to do this can cause the battery to spew violent flames. There have been many fires directly caused by lithium batteries. PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE when charging lithium batteries.
Here are a few MANDATORY guidelines for charging/using LiPos (Lithium Polymer Batteries).
1. Use only a charger approved for lithium batteries. The charger may be designed for Li-Ion or Li-Poly. Both batteries are charged in exactly the same.
2. Make certain that the correct cell count is set on your charger. Watch the charger very closely for the first few minutes to ensure that the correct cell count continues to be displayed. If you don't know how to do that, get a charger that you do know how or don't charge the batteries.
3. Use the Taps. Before you charge a new Lithium pack, check the voltage of each cell individually. If the cells are not within 0.5 volts of each other then charge each cell individually to 4.2 volts so that they are all equal.
Taps give you the ability to check individual cell voltages and charge one cell at a time. Make sure and get the appropriate connector to go into your taps. Don't try to stick you volt meter probes in the taps to measure voltage. They could slip and short your cells. Don't try to charge more than one cell at a time from the taps. Unless you have an isolated ground charging system, you'll short your batteries out. Refer to your individual cell maker for tap pin-outs.
4. NEVER charge the batteries unattended. This is the number one reason for houses and cars being burned to a crisp by lithium fires.
5. Use a safe surface to charge your batteries on so that if they burst into flame no damage will occur. Vented fire safes, pyrex dishes with sand in the bottom, fireplaces, plant pots, are all good options.
6. DO NOT CHARGE THIS PACK AT MORE THAN 12.0 AMPS I have personally had a fire in my home because of violating the max charge rate rule. Todays highest discharge batteries can supposedly be safely charged at greater than 1C, however so far in all cases doing so shortens the life of the pack. Better to buy 3 packs than to try to charge 1 pack 3 times quickly. This may change in the future but 1C is still the recommended charge rate.
7. DO NOT puncture the cell, ever. If a cell balloons quickly place it in a fire safe place, especially if you were charging it when it ballooned. After you have let the cell sit in the fire safe place for at least 2 hours. Discharge the cell/pack slowly. This can be done by wiring a flashlight bulb of appropriate voltage (higher is voltage is ok, lower voltage is no) up to your batteries connector type and attaching the bulb to the battery. Wait until the light is completely off, then throw the battery away.
8. If you crash with your lithium cells they may be damaged such that they are shorted inside. The cells may look just fine. If you crash in ANY way carefully remove the battery pack from the RC and watch it carefully for at least the next 20 min. Several fires have been caused by damaged cells being thrown in the car and then the cells catch fire later and destroys the car completely.
9. Charge your batteries in a open ventilated area. If a battery does rupture or explode hazardous fumes and material will spew from the battery.
THIS IS THE SHORT LIST. PLEASE FULLY UNDERSTAND LIPO BATTERIES BEFORE USING.
