I know I'm resurrecting a zombie thread, but I had one question about these batteries before I decide to buy them:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__8582__ZIPPY_Flightmax_5000mAh_6S1P_20C.html Looks to be a high voltage version of the ones Will and Loic are using. The smaller ones below are somewhat cheaper per pack, but it would simplify the install if I only had to use 2 packs instead of 4. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__16786__ZIPPY_Flightmax_5000mAh_3S1P_20C_USA_Warehouse_.html Will said he was running them and gets almost an hour's run time out of them. I was looking at them for the KV-2 which is probably bigger and heavier than his tank. My question would be how do you know how far to drain them without damage? Are there a bunch of safety precautions for using these batteries that I need to know about?
