    Tenergy Propel 7.2V 4500mAh Nimh (45A Drain Rate)

    Has anyone tried these?



    7.2V 4500mAh Flat NiMH High Capacity High Power (45A Drain Rate) Battery Packs with Deans connectors for $34.99.

    too good to be true?

    Any suggestions for good CHEAP batteries?

        Tenergy sent me a pair. I will say, they do work in the boats. They do stay pretty cool. They are built better with bigger tabs. Performance wise they are not a IB cell, really not even close. But for playing around with bla speed and bla punch they do last a long time and do work.

        The Tenergy red 4500 cells are much better then the propel but still a step below the IB cells.

          Ive heard from other people that this battery pack is a very low quality pack, I would rather suggest you go with IB or EP.

          Cheap is not always the answer when it comes to batteries, you will notice the difference and the IB's and EP's are worth their price.

              What is the drain rate on the EP pack? I have two sets of tenergy packs 4500 and 4200 and ifeel they are really reliable. They have been pretty strong and could tae a beating. Well i dont know of a better pack but i was wondering if someoe tried the trinity 5000 or venoms and their drain rate?
