Win Force lipo

[steve-b]

Hey guys,

I just recieved 2 Win Force lipo's in the mail today.
I bought these on E Bay for $14.95 each. I'm not expecting much from these at that price. They are 5000 2s 30c.
Has anyone bought these?
If so i would like to read some feedback on them. I will let you know what i think after i charge, and run them.

Thanks.

Steve.

Bad news but they wont last the first run

Well i just got back from the pond. They preformed well, 4.5 mins at wide open, and dident get that warm (forgot my temp gun). Ill see how many MAH they take.
They were both ballenced when i carged them the first time, and took about 1500MAH each. But time will tell on these. Ill let you know.
By the way i was using them in a jae with UL1 motor and ESC, with a 1445 prop.

I have 4 of them. I figured for $15.00 I could use them for testing. I have had good luck so far, I was a little low on batteries for the nats so I ran them and they did just fine. Even ran them in my 4 minute P-Limited off shore races . 4 ,2S packs for 60 bucks. I have rotated them in to heat racing as well , No problems yet. I don't care if they blow I've gotten my moneys worth. LOL

Thats how i feel. I figured when i bought them, "even if they last me ten runs or so i'll be happy".
Again, time will tell.

After 4.5 minutes you only used 1500 Mah

Talk about an efficient set up.....did you use a prop

[steve-b]

They took 1500 MAH out of the package.
Havent charged them up after first run yet i will let you know.

We can buy low cost batteries on ebay:

- WinForce
- HiTopMax
- BQY
- Mystery
- Moxie
- Coyote
- Transmetic
- Turborix
- EC Power
- etc .....

I tested a pair of HiTopMax LiPo packs 3S 4500mAh 35C and they work fine,

I bought a set of two BQY 5S 4000mAh 30C, I will make a report, I paid 85 US$ / 68 €uros (grand total price)

i recently bought a winforce 4s lipo it was shipped pretTy unprotected i would have paid more for safer shipping ! after about 6 runs it says broken connection on my charger. until then it was spot on for performance and capacity. i am not dumping on them. but i thought it should have been better packaged. the dead cell could be a fluke or something i did as i am always finding out to late in this hobby lol! the price was right so i am not p'd off

greenblast - did you take the shrink wrap off and check the solder on the battery tabs? Could be as easy as resoldering the connection or even the balance lead connection.

[greenblast]

lectra glide i just removed the shrink wrap nothing sticks out as being broke . with a simple meter i am reading 3.85v@1 3.84v@2 0v@3 0v@4 in series i am getting 3.85v@cell1 7.68@cell2 7.68@cell3 0v@cell4 the pack is in a fire box now to be safe.
