.AJ. Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 They get really good feedback in the groups I’m a member of on FB. So much so that I’ve got 4 of their 3s 6000mah packs for the UDR, so I’ve been impressed so far.... I bought all mine from Amazon Prime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BashingBrian Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I've been looking at the 6s 6000mAh ones but can't decide..? problem is the Turnigy's are cheaper..!! There are a lot of people on the Arrma forum that use the HRB's and they all say good things about them..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar thing the Turnigy graphenes are only a tenner more and I hear nothing but praise for them but HRB have a higher mah ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I’ve seen mixed reviews about Graphenes? Much like Nanotechs, it seems a few dodgy cells slip through GC and HK warranty can be pain, but with HRB’s if anything does wrong Amazon will look after you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BashingBrian Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Well I ended up buying the HRB 6s 6000mAh got a great price even better than the Turnigy..😁 Happy with them so far...😁👍🏼 but I think my next set of batteries will be 4200-5000mAh. Me personally, I don't see much difference with the 6000 vs 5000 in run time and at the end of the day 5000 are always cheaper..👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Be interesting to know the real capacity of the 5000mah packs, I can get over 5000mah back into my 6000mah packs, so they ain’t far off with the capacity ratings 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It's a shame the hard case 3s packs are so thick. They are really short and fat, so I they wouldn't fit in my current battery tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriver Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 HRB,s arrived from amazon, cells look reasonably balanced. I hope they last longer than the Floureons. Although to be fair the Floureons were just left over winter in storage and ignored for 6 months or so. Perhaps I should have nudged em back up to 3.8v every few weeks ? bat1. 3.79 3.80 3.79 bat2. 3.80 3.79 3.79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 batteries should be fine for a couple of years on a storage charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriver Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Well if thats the case both my Floureons were crap. I wont purchsse Floureon again, however other people have had good experiences with them. Luck of the draw I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I just measured the resistance of all my batteries and the Turnigy batteries i have are the lowest out of what i have. The turnigy heavy duty is the lowest. In terms of batteries i have broken I have broken a power plant 4s hard case, turnigy nanotech soft case 4s, and a gens ace soft case 3s.

Lower is better yes. you can also use a multimeter as will, but you have to be careful not the let the probes touch otherwise it will short. Also they are normally lower after they have been used or been charged, so its best to measure them when they have been in storage charge for 24 hours, just to be consistent.

.AJ. Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Here’s my 6s packs after a run in the 5ive Ive never really taken much notice of IR unless a cell goes out of balance, I’m more worried about a even cell voltage after a run 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 yeah, the best thing to do when you buy them check them. They should all be close to each other. You can see on my overlander, one of the cells is going bad. It does poof up a little bit tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
