Hrb and gensace tattu packs have done well for me. Those 14ah 6s packs are unbelievably cheap

  • 3.3v nominal
  • 2.5Ah
  • 12s1p -> 99wh (similar to 10s lithium ion voltage)
  • 120A 10 seconds at a time
  • 70A discharge for more than a few seconds at a time (can drive 2 motors at 1p)
  • 20A continuous without overheating
  • can charge as fast as you can
  • 1000+ cycles

If you want performance for maximum discharge and range while being reasonably priced you go with 40t itā€™s top of the line shit. But yeah stupid question

Ive been draining my 12s5p 30q in 15 miles so Im thinking of going 13s7p 20700b to combat that.

Lol lets hope not

The efficiency of 13s is just so tempting. (Focbox unity has been used up to 14s so 13s is just pushing it.)

If you are from Mexico, talk to Alan @eboosted , you might be able to receive a complete battery shipped by landā€¦Iā€™ve got my 12s8p from him to South Americaā€¦

Depends on what you seek, but on battery donā€™t go cheap man.

For Lipo your best bets are SMC Racing, Maxamps and probably Turnigy Graphene series. Gens Ace Tattu too as suggested already, but SMC is rock solid. @Arzamenable is it you who rock them in race? I forget. One of the Stooge board runs on these if Iā€™m correct.

Headway Lithium Iron if you good enough space for it, A123 Lifepo4 cells or even LTO cells if you can grab some. There are trade off but longevity and reliability are exceptional.

Then you have classic and very good lithium cells, advices have already been given there.

Depends on what you seek.
