ManicZ Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 hey all, I just received my 144001 and it came with a 2600mah 2s lipo but after a full charge it only lasts 2-4 minutes? I have an old 1500mah 2s lipo and I run it on that for about 10-15 minutes, should I send/complain about the "New" 2600 battery? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gampla Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 £70 with battery I would doubt it would be a good lipo if you complained they will just sent you another cheap lipo Sent from my G8341 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ag100 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I run these in my LC Racing buggy, the WL toys is very similar, might be worth a look. you may need to get an adaptor or re-solder the connector on your esc as the battery comes with an XT60 connector and I think yours has a Deans connector? https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-2200mah-2s-35-70c-lipo-pack.html?queryID=1226233b0ac231026b7d7ef8f52410c0&objectID=30638&indexName=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicZ Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 if i could afford a decent battery i probably could've also afforded a better rc car but that wasn't my question, my question is do you think the battery is bad/faulty? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicZ Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 sorry Ag100 that reply was to Gampla, like i said i am strapped for funds right now should i keep on at supplier to replace battery? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Nothing wrong with the car, as @Gampla said, on this price car the batteries are probably nowhere near the stated capacity, and yes the battery is maybe faulty, but you may just end up with a bad one again. the battery I listed is £10, so not that bad, but understand you don’t want to spend more money.

ManicZ Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 also that particular battery is out of stock, but as soon as I have spare cash I'm definitely going to get a new battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ag100 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224042310276 worth getting one of these, this will show voltage per cell, which may show if there is an issue? or if you are in Hampshire, you can borrow mine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicZ Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I'll look into that but there isn't one near me, hi Ag100, 1 cell shows 4.20v and the other shows 4.12v? So it's not balancing properly, my other lipo's balance fine, thanks for the offer, if I start walking now I may be there in a few days lol👍 cheers Edited September 15, 2020 by ManicZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicZ Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 I found someone who says to discharge it at a low rate then balance charge at a low rate that could fix it? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
