wondering if anyone is willing to sell me 2 6s 4000-5000 mah batteries.
Why lipos tho
why not, what else should i use
Hobbyking is😂
i hear its not a good company i was wondering if anyone could sell it to me if they actually had one themselves
Li ion is better I just had a customer contact me because their lipos caught fire
ok so what should i get that would be eqiuvilent to a 12s lipo battery
anyone have anything?
@willpark16 can make you a custom pack or @torqueboards has prebuilt packs on his website i believe he has 12s2p 12s3p and 12s4p packs for sale
how much would it cost from willpark16
you would have to message him to find out
I’ve never had a problem buying from Hobby King. One time I got 2 bad Lipo packs in a shipment and I contacted them via online chat and sent them a couple pics and they promptly sent me 2 new batteries and I didn’t have to return the bad ones.
I have never had a problem with hobby king. I just ordered (2) 5000mAh 6S 30C for $40 a piece. So $80 for a 12s setup. 18650 packs are waaaaaay more expensive, around $$300- 400 for 12s. Lipo OR 18650 packs can catch fire, your cell phone,l laptop, vape, etc can burst into flames.
I’ve never had a problem with HobbyKing at all. Ordered loads through them.
It’s also a matter of life and safety, lion will last much longer, and they are in a metal cam so unless punctured the have to be shorted which is pretty hard to accidentally do if you know what ur doing, Lipos are good if u want power and are on a budget but if you think u can afford li ion you will only be gaining not losing
You generally have to really abuse quality 18650s to reach catastrophic failure. I’m an esk8 noob, but coming from e-bikes/RC/vape nation/etc, I know I would have started some fires if I treated my lipos like I have some 18650s.
There is still an argument to be made for going w/ lipos ($$ or higher discharge rates, etc), but 18650 packs have other advantages as well (more stable, more durable (physically), BMS/charging advantages, much better charge/discharge ratings, and I believe they now generally have higher power density (kwh/kg) ratings, as well).
Yes, they both can burst into flames, but, IMO, that’s kind of a myopic way to look at it when comparing them. There’s more to it than whether or not they are capable of catching fire.
I’m using 2s batteries in series
oh ok fine
They have 5.5mm bullet connectors…not banana like the 3s typically do…
