OVONIC 3s Lipo Battery 35C 2200mAh 11.1V Lipo Battery with XT60 Connector for Airplane RC Quadcopter Helicopter FPV Drone (1pcs)

Ovonic LiPo batteries are winners! During the past few years, I have purchased over a dozen of these jewels for my 3D airplanes and RC cars. They are slightly smaller in size, are lighter than the competition, and they have terrific flexible silicone wiring with excellent connectors. Like most top-quality batteries, after a couple usage cycles, they stabilize and consistently charge within +/- 0.1 volts per cell. They have low internal resistance, remain cool during use, and provide a bit extra operating time.As an RC engineer in my youth, I was often amazed at the poor treatment most RC hobbyists inflicted upon their batteries. Sadly, there is WAY too much folklore and misunderstanding about batteries within the hobby community. Hobbyists often do all the wrong things for all the wrong reasons.Sadly, high-amperage charging is very common, as is excessive discharging. Also, few people even take the time to allow their batteries to cool down before charging. In addition, most folks typically store LiPo batteries for lengthy periods when fully charged.Unless we are preparing a LiPo battery for storage (or unless there are significant voltage differences among the cells of a LiPo battery), there really is no need to deeply discharge a LiPo battery. Actually, excessive discharging often creates more problems than it solves. Frequent deep discharging can actually create a voltage imbalance among the cells. Also, discharging below approximately 3.0V causes irreversible damage to the battery's internal chemistry.After use, LiPo batteries should be discharged (or charged) to 3.8 volts per cell. This is their "storage" voltage. Many chargers have a storage setting and will automatically discharge a LiPo to this safe storage voltage. When LiPo batteries are manufactured, they typically sit for months before purchase and use. They are shipped from the factory in a 3.8 volt per cell state. This storage voltage is fairly stable and dramatically extends the battery life. Storing a LiPo at this safe voltage prevents swelling and dead cells.Like most batteries when stored, a LiPo gradually drops its cell voltage over time. When stored for long periods, checking each battery's cell voltage for 3.8 volts every month or two will save you an unpleasant surprise when it is time to use again. If you regularly perform these 3.8 volt per cell storage precautions, you will smile when it is time to again fully charge and use your LiPo battery several days, weeks or months later.Additionally, ALWAYS use balanced charging on any LiPo battery with more than a single cell (1S). Also, do not cook LiPo batteries with excessively high charging rates. Low to moderate charge rates work just fine and allow the battery to last a long time. With most common 2S, 3S, 4S & 6S batteries, I recommend a charge rate of 1 to 2 amps. Even with a very high C rating, LiPo batteries do much better when slowly charged. We get considerably better battery performance and a much longer battery lifespan.My own dual charger goes up to an insane 16 amps (did you want those fried or scrambled)? Charging at 2 amps requires about one hour to fully and safely charge most common LiPos. If you're racing or in a hurry, just buy additional batteries.Despite all the common stories at the field or track, fast charging a LiPo actually degrades optimal battery performance. It shortens the battery life and it can also create spontaneous combustion. If you've ever seen a lithium battery ignite, you'll never forget it!High amperage charging is the #1 most destructive thing folks do to these little power cells. The #2 most injurious is storing a fully charged LiPo for extended periods. This isn't just opinion, it is scientific fact. Again, allow LiPo batteries to cool before charging and charge them at a low to moderate rate. When finished using LiPo batteries, they should be put away at a storage voltage of 3.8 volts per cell (and checked periodically if stored for months). Gee, I'll bet you wish somebody would have told you about this stuff a long time ago!Before discovering Ovonic LiPos, I purchased only expensive name brand batteries (Spektrum, Traxxas, Precision Aerobatics, etc.). Years ago, that was the smart thing to do. However, for a recent project, I was looking for a very lightweight 4S 2200mAh battery for an ultra-light 50" wingspan balsa Addiction X 3D airplane (with 3D, every gram counts). In my research, I came across Ovonic (only 176g) and was impressed with their manufacturing quality and the price.Ovonic are now my go-to LiPo batteries. Their performance is truly impressive -- and I can usually buy 2 Ovonic batteries for the price of just one of the major brands. Check them out for yourself... you'll be glad you did.

Purchased 2 of these Ovonic 3S liPo batteries. They have been great. They were shipped perfectly storage charged at 3.8v/cell. I am using the LiPo’s in my Vanquish H10 Optic. Get almost 2 hours of run time on one battery. Definitely would recommend!Also the Ovonic charger works great as well!

Especially for the money, these are decent batteries. They seem to actually have the capacity on the label. I had another set of Ovonic batteries and they were not as good as these.Time will tell whether they hold up in the long term, but they seem great! Hard to believe that this pack is the same capacity as the normal 2200 which is a full ounce heavier and about 30% longer. If only they were LiHV :)

The media could not be loaded. TL;DR: Perfect for rock crawlers. Do not use for bashing or speed runs.Works perfect in my 10.2 build with the Rock Pirates RC battery tray. The battery is actually pretty small and barely reaches both Velcro straps but it holds tight. I received them yesterday and popped them on the charger at 2 amps. Once done I put one in my brushless 10.2 crawler and one in my brushless 2wd Slash. In my 10.2 I crawled around in the yard for about an hour and then put the battery back on the charger and it was flashing green which means it was more than 50% charged still. Awesome! It’s running a Hobbywing Fusion SE 1800kv brushless system and 35kg servo at 7.4v. The top speed was noticeably faster than on 2S. Although not built for speed, it’s nice to have to bump over obstacles. I added a video of the 10.2 for the heck of it, at the time it was a stock raw builders kit brushed on 2S.Now, in my Slash it’s a different story. I know this is not meant for speed runs or bashing. I get that. Low C rating, small mah. But just to see, I tried it out. My Slash is a 2WD, running a 5700kv hobbywing brushless motor and a 27t pinion on a low spur (can’t remember the count). It screams. On 2S it’s almost uncontrollable. I went down the road to get ready for a speed run and when coming back, hit the throttle and it got up to about half speed then started limiting itself until it shut off and went into limp mode. It was acting as if the battery was dead. Which is fine, I bought these for crawling and didn’t expect them to work in a basher. But I’m saying, don’t try it. After 1 speed run the battery was pretty warm to the touch. I let it cool and put it on the charger.In closing I’d recommend these batteries to anyone looking to lower their center of gravity or save space in their rock crawler build. Good run time and good performance so far. I charged them up at 2 amps with no issues, never got warm.

I was looking for something compact with some capacity and these are a great fit and we're available with the type of connector I use throughout my RC collection.

Lightweight and last for a solid hour or more rock crawling. I bought 2 and highly recommended them.

Excellent item, fast shipping, thank you.

The double the back of the 3s batteries comes in handy they fit my Amoril buggy ok they are smaller then the allowed space I have for a battery pack but the velcro and the RC keeps it nice and sturdy and spicy they do add quite a little bit of speed and quite a bit of torque to my car so I'm very happy with him I'm around good battery pack I'll buy more in the future as needed for a different purchases I buy at RC cars
