RC India

Hi,

Could anyone share where do we get replacement battery for TX  Futaba SG14.
I see a lot of international sellers but they do not ship to India.

Preferred is LiFe, however LiPO 2S would also do.

Dimensions are :
1.7 x 0.67 x 3.3" (43.5 x 17 x 84mm)

This will fit in your TX

Thank You Sanjay Sir,

I had sourced this LiPo locally however the capacity is 850 mAh.

I was looking to match it with the Original Futaba Battery.

It is frustrating to see lot of options available but will not ship to India.

I agree 850 mAh is a lower capacity. However, do keep in mind that a LiPo does last much longer than a same capacity NiMH

rcmumbai.com will be updating their website soon, you could check there too for more options

@tahmadblr,

Sir,
If you check Tx battery consumption in one hour, say 4 flights and some ground time, you be surprised to find how little it is.
My 3s 2650 lasts 8-10 Sundays flying without recharge. (Hitec Optic 6). When it goes down to 11.1 (3.7v per cell), I charge it to about 11.4 (~250mah). So it remains at about storage volage all the time. I’ve never charged it full to 12.6 as then it’ll take months to come down to storage level...

A 1000mah lipo of just 1C rating will easily suffice for a day’s flying (2s or 3s as per your tx voltage)

Hope this helps
Regards

Yes, I spoke to Chintal's team.

Thanks.

I am using similar LiPo sourced locally. Works well.  Thanks for the clarification.

we will have lipos in stock within 2 weeks

thanks Chintal  :hatsoff:
