6s battery questions

[eddywatson]

Hey guys I had some questions about batteries for the Typhon 6S

1. The 6s has 2 battery connections; does that mean it HAS to have 2 batteries connected for it to work? 2x3s? Or can it work on one battery only? 

2. “if” it can work on one battery can I plug in 1 6s battery in and it will work?

3. The battery connection on the typhon is EC5… will IC5 batteries be compatible/work?

4. Whats the difference between EC5 and IC5?

Thanks in advance

If you use 1 6s battery youl need 1 of these

to go into 2nd car connector

IC5 are Spektrum connectors. They are similar to and compatible with EC5.

 

like @Stormbringersaid above, you just need a loop if using a 6s rather than 2no. 3s. The car will not work without the loop connector on 1 battery.

I believe the additional pin between the positive and negative is a data link if you have the full spektrum electrics range. Details can be found here:

The battery will charge fine on any other lipo charger with the balance cable connection, you don’t have to use spectrum branded products.

If you have/get other RC cars a 3S is more likely to fit in those as well.

 

Minor consideration I know but still a factor.

Thanks for the info guys! Just one last question

The higher C rating will usually give you more punch than the lower C rated battery
