Noj Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Avoid nanotechs, for they promise greatness, yet fail miserably with cell drop outs and poor performance. Zippy blues or standard turnigy packs are very nice and like a Vietnamese lady, will love you longtime 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stomper90 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Giant Shark always seem pretty reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr5fx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 My Nano-techs have been great, I've had one faulty that was on delivery, which was replaced, and one failed after a bad impact. Going strong and considering they are only 25-50c they are superb. I have nothing good to say about Giant Shark and Gens Ace, will never buy from them or support them again.

Stomper90 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Ouch. Sounds like a bad experience. Was it GS themselves or the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_b Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm buying two of these: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__31930__Turnigy_5000mAh_2S_40C_Lipo_Pack_UK_Warehouse_.html Look good to me and should serve me well when I go brushless.

Vr5fx Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Ouch. Sounds like a bad experience. Was it GS themselves or the battery? Both. I bought 2 4s 5000mAh packs, I think they were 90-120c. On arrival they were not balanced correctly. And way off. I sent them an email with what was wrong and some photos of the cell readings, and they told me to do a few cycles in the packs, which should have brought them back in line. In one pack one cell wouldn't hit full charge, and the other pack would lose voltage from 2 cells. Both packs had a weak cell too. But both packs would hold fine at storage. I emailed them again with the new findings, and they put it down to user error, that they were charged incorrectly, and that now I had charged them there was no warranty on the packs. I got about 5 months out of one pack and around 8 out the other. Then they both met the nail and hammer. Probably a bad batch, but a pretty awful experience in my view.

Zoea Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I recently got a couple of IP Lipo, one new after a recommendation here and one from ebay (ninja'd an early BIN listing it was second hand and posted). I've not tried nano-tech, not gens ace, nor turnigy, but I have tried cheap make-up-a-spec lipo before and these blew them out of the water. They were just brilliant. I think the completely new one was a touch soft but that should sure up once it's had a few cycles through it. The one that has, was amazing. If you are bored one day, and have a little money to spend, I can think of far worse ways to fare with the money than to buy an SMC or Intellect (IP) LiPo. At least until bio batteries. And I haven't tried the flat discharge curve (new) ones.... ! ENJOY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
