Kevin Fairgrieve Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Shark, cod are indeed around under a completely different name. Still get great service from them. I use them for most of my radio gear. And lots more besides. **LINK** Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ovenden Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I too have been very pleased with price and performance of Zippy Compact lipos from HK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hobby king zippys and Turnigy standard lipos are excellent and well priced. Never had cause for complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david 7 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks guys for advice, just found 2 new 3 cell 2100 and 2 new 4000 4cell in garage ,found a couple of Lipo swollen.how should I dispose them as they are 90% charged. Thanks dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Kenny Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks for the nod towards hobby king, they have Turnigy 3200 4S 30C for £23.60 at the minute. (not the nano tech as suggested) That's around £15 cheaper than anywhere else! Perfect timing as a couple of mine are swollen and need replacing. David, to discharge, I just attached them to an old car halogen until it was completely dead then cut off the wires for later use and chucked it in the bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunch-time flyer Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Interesting the mention of 35C discharge - I’m just replacing a few Power-Tech 2250mAh 33C 3S 11.1V Li-Po Batteries which have puffed up, and I was thinking of getting a higher discharge rate to get more life out of them, I don’t feel I run them that hard but they haven’t lasted... most brands seem to stick to 30C so is anyone else finding the same problem? Do you think a better brand at 30C would give better (safer) results? I have no issue with the power, I’d just prefer flat batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
