Title: [REVIEW] Bonka Batteries from RCHLipos.com Post by: Himadri Roy on May 09, 2016, 01:23:20 PM I had bought the Bonka 1300mAh 4S 75C battery from RCHLipos(part of Rchyper, for those who don't know). It is supposed to be one of best Miniquad Batteries. Before that I was using Tattus(1300mAh 4S 75C) and Dinogy(1500mAh 4S 65C). After having 3-4 flights on it(Bonkas) I must say I am completely blown away by the performance. Out of the three batteries the Bonkas have the least voltage sag.(The order being Bonka(Lowest Sag) < Dinogy < Tattu(Highest Sag)). The battery packs a punch until the end. Punch outs and rolls are snappier. I overshot couple of times :giggle: Also after putting it under a heavy load of the EMAX Red Bottoms RS2205 and DYS 5x4x3, it was pretty warm but coldest compared to the other two.
Did a few IR measurements using my new charger ;D At 15.4V(Storage voltage) Bonka - 27 milliohms Dinogy - 36 milliohms Tattu - 41 milliohms At 16.8V(Full Charge) Bonka - 17 milliohms Dinogy - 25 milliohms Tattu - 32 milliohms (The values indicated are approx) (The lesser the better) If you are interested in more details on the battery some great testing and review has been posted by R/C Devotee on few batteries(including Bonkas) here (https://www.rcdevotee.com/reviews/mini-quad-battery-review-testing-1300mah-batteries-part-2). PS: IR depends on a lot of factors like state of charge, no of times pack has been used,etc. The Tattus have been used quite a lot so maybe that's why it has higher IR than the other two. Bonkas have under gone just 3-4 cycles. Also the problem with such high C rating battery(true C rated, like Bonkas) is that the voltage at the end drops too quickly. Same thing happened to me and I crash landed. Luckily the quad wasn't far away and wasn't too high. Normally with the other two batteries I get the low voltage alarm on my OSD 4-5 times before it gives a critical warning. On the Bonka I got just one low voltage warning and then suddenly a critical alarm and then it crash landed. I will put up DVR footage comparing the sag on heavy draw soon!(DVR on the way) Anyways I am very happy with this battery. And also thank you to Kumaran Sir for bringing this wonderful battery and keeping the prices almost at par with the International Pricing :thumbsup: Would recommend this battery to anyone looking for serious performance!
