One of my batteries is giving me trouble now, it just seems to be 1 cell in a 2s LiPo. In balance charge mode it says it's at 4.20 this is what I assume to be my problem cell, and the...

    Lipo battery life span

    Hi, I've had a Lipo 4s 5000mah 50c gensacearespammers pack for about 2 years. It ran great for the first year and a half, but I suddenly noticed some problems. The pack seems to be lasting much less long than it was lasting before. It's also getting hot. After my run yesterday the motor was at 90f, esc...

    Bummer news, SPC Batteries is closing

    SPC made some of the best LiPo batteries for the price and I noticed today on their website they've posted a notice saying they are closing. Hate to see them go. "SPC will be soon closing its doors. New restrictive regulations, along with significant changes in our personal lives brought us to...

    SPC batteries for XMaxx

    Looks like SPC has full intentions of having large capacity batteries available for the Xmaxx release. SPC posted this on their website: "8200mAh, 50C, 3S packs to fit the new Traxxas X-Maxx are on order. Watch for them to arrive in approximately 6 weeks." I think it might be time to upgrade...

    How do you choose LIPO number of cells.

    I understand what MAH means, my question is as I am looking at LIPOs preferably 2S I see a various amount of number of cells what does that mean. I am looking for my Axial EXO and don't want to buy the wrong batteries.

    Lipo short?

    How do I figure out if my lipo has a short, cause when I was charging one last night each cell read between 4.27v-4.29v.

    How to convert a PC PSU to power your LiPo charger

    My latest video! its a remake of one of my really early videos on how to convert a PC power supply so you can use it to power your lipo chargers. The old video had poor video and audio quality and the walkthrough itself isnt as coherent as this time around :) Parts you will need: 10W 10Ohm...

    lipo charger info needed.

    does any one know of a good quality quad charger that will cycle lipos? Also, I've heard that the Hitec X4 will cycle lipos but I can't seem to confirm this. Does anyone have an X4 that can confirm?
