FlightPower lithium-polymer batteries
Common Sense RC lithium-polymer batteries
(milliohms is a measure of internal resistance; LOWER IS BETTER)
If you are buying batteries not on this list, then you should ask the manufacturer for the internal
resistance of the cells. If the batteries do not have an internal resistance as low as the cells on
this list, then it is probably not suitable for helicopter use.
If you intend to fly aerobatics, do NOT use commercial battery packs. Most of these packs use
a flat springy metal to connect the battery terminals and the springy metal will melt at high
(50-60+) currents. Be sure to use your own inline-soldered battery packs if you intend to do
hard aerobatics with your helicopter.
Lithium-polymer batteries are NOT recommended for helicopter beginners. They are fragile
and incur damage easily, and when they are damaged they can IGNITE up to ten minutes
later.
There was a story posted on RC Groups about a guy who crashed his plane powered by Li-
Pos, and he put it in his SUV. Several minutes later someone told him his SUV was on fire. He
posted pictures of the totaled SUV, and the interior was completely burned.
NOTE: The 17mm-long N20 motor used on some micro helicopter tails (some Piccolo models,
all Hummingbirds, etc) will burn out quickly (5-20 mins) if the motor is run on 8 cells. Be sure to
use only 7 cell battery packs to extend the tail motor life.
6.3.2. Battery connectors
Heavy-duty battery connectors are recommended to minimize power loss.
The following connectors work well for the Corona/ECO/Logo:
4mm gold-plated Corally "bullet" connectors
Astroflight "Zero-Loss" 50 amp connectors
W.S. Deans Ultra connectors
W.S. Deans micro connectors (micro helis)
JST BEC connectors (micro helis)
If you use the 4mm bullet connectors, you may want to use one male and one female plug on
the battery otherwise you may plug in the ESC backwards, which will definitely damage it.
The Astroflight connectors are expensive but they are polarized and of extremely high quality
and highly recommended.
These connectors may have some problems:
Anderson's PowerPoles
Sermos Connectors
Tamiya connectors
