I am going to be running 5 s in my mc soon 1 2s and 1 3s. Wanted to know is it better to have the same C and mah? Going to be buying some 3s from hobbyking just want to make sure I get the rite batts. Thanks

you need to have the same, it is dangerous and bad for the batteries.
I reccomend getting the same brand too since all brands can differ.
get these, it's what i'm getting

Cool thanks I like the batts but I want to do a bigger mah

[Mike whiting]

Well I have 5200 mah 30c 2s already so I was going to buy 3s with the same c and mah to match but they have5800 and 5000 mah. Would that still be a problem

check this out 45c and appears they can be used as 5s2p or 10s1p

[Boaterguy]

no link, is there supposed to be one?
If you are not using all of the capacity, it will be safe (or at least safer) to use the 5000 and 5200, but if you use up the 5200, the 5000 will be over discharged and ruined.

I gotta question about hobbyking-When your buying their batteries do they need to be in the USA warehouse, since i live in the US? Or can it be from any of them?

nope, they can be from any warehouse. But your shipping from the US warehouse will be considerably less than from the HK warehouse overseas. Also, you can't do 1 checkout from multiple warehouses. If you order from US warehouse, ALL your items have to be from the US warehouse. If you need something from the HK warehouse, you gotta do a separate order for just that item.

Ahhh I see, because the zippies i wanted weren't in the US warehoues, so i had to find a comparable turnigy in the US warehouse

[Mike whiting]

Well I just bought 1 3s zippy 40c 5000 mah. And a zippy 2s 40c 5000 mah can't wait Just got my turnigy 180a esc going in my mc should hall ass. I have also noticed on hobby king if you order outside of the u.s it takes alot longer to get them

[Boaterguy]

well, if you order outside the US, it has to cross customs at least once, and get all the way here from hong kong.
