Title: GT5889 Lipo Help!
Post by: raiyus13 on August 02, 2011, 03:37:14 PM
Can somebody using this heli please  :help: me to get a Lipo for it, that can sit well in the cage and also do better than the stock Lipo.
I think the stock Lipo specs are 850 mAh 7.4 V ,not quite sure of the C value though. :headscratch:

Thanks ;D
Sunny.

Guys - I couldn't find anything higher than the Rhino 750 mah at Hobbyking that fits the size. However just found a Tipple 800 mah at RCDhamaka. http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=28
The higher rated ones do not fit the tray. So not much choice there I am afraid. I have a couple of extra pieces of the Rhino that I can part with if you are desperate.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I have also replied to your pm raiyus. But for the general audience, I am mentioning it here too, the lipo that I bought is a 2s(7,4v) 850mah from Rcforall. Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.in/RCFORALL-BATTERY-7-4V-850mAH-2S-25C-/110715635118?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item19c72a85ae#ht_2110wt_905 I get a hovering time of about 9 mins with it, but the truth is that I haven't really stretched the lipo, the heli gets very hot in about 8-9 mins, the last thing I would do is fry it. The battery could last for a minute longer or maybe only for a few secs, but 9mins is what I do get.

Ok Guys, here's the surprise. Just tested out my new Rhino 750mAh lipo on the 5889. Already done 12 mins of hover and theres still juice left. Stopped in fear of burning out the motor. I had charged the battery on a Prolux 3839A at 500 mAh and got full charge in less than 2 hrs.
