Looking for a new battery, opinions?

[Rgarbarino]

I currently have a Dynamite Reaction 5200 Lipo. I'm looking at getting a second of the same battery. Also looking at the Killer RC 6000 Lipo. The Killer is about $12 less. Is one better than the other?

The lack of info is overwhelming dude. Not to be mean but what is the battery going to be used for. Is it for your receiver your transmitter or is this for a e-car. Even this "Dynamite Reaction 5200 Lipo " doesn't give us a lot to go on. I have 3c that are in that range for my boats .

Just bought a killer RC 7200 mah Lipo. It says to charge at 3.6 amps. Anyone charging at 7.2 amps? Using a 206b iCharger.

 

[Striikar]

If it says to charge at 3.6,I'd listen. They know their product better then we would.
It could be a safety issue.
I've seen a Lipo fire up and personal and I don't want to see another one.
Their to dangerous to fek around with.

I charge mine (killer lipo) # 2A??‍?

 

[alpine4]

Damn 2 amps that must take forever.

 

[Seandonato73]

Wonder why they say such a low charge rate.

 

[alpine4]

Every Lipo I have used you charge at 1c rate. Some 2c this is mainly RC heli.

 

[Seandonato73]

Yeah I charge mine at 1c even my killer lipo in the dbxl. That's what i asked why such a low charge rate. doesn't make sense. 1c is standard charge rate, I've seen up to 4c but never felt safe at that level. 1c all day is safe imo.

You are charging at 7.2 amps then? Or 3.6 amps?

 

[Seandonato73]

6 amp I have the slightly lower mah battery. It's in a dbxl.

 

[crucialRC]

I do 2A overnight.

 

[DougStar]

Took all my charging how to from this vid???

Guy suggests a lower rate?‍
Thats the charger i use?

 

[alpine4]

I hear what he is saying. I think I some point I will charge at 7.2 amps. My charger will charge alway to 20A, I bought it for charging up to 6C battery for SAB 500 heli.

 

[Seandonato73]

Idk I don't have issues charging at 1c. That's the default for one of my chargers I use for these smaller batteries ymmv

 

[crucialRC]

I've always heard charging at 1c is perfectly acceptable but I also read that the slower the charge, the longer the battery will last.
