Have had over 23 of these batteries over the last few months now. I won’t purchase any more! Unfortunately they don’t last long and out of that 25, I have only 3 that actually charge/balance. Several of them the black cap broke off also. Many of the little white connecting pieces seem to be loose also which is not good considering that it is still a lipo battery. So, if you are thinking of an aircraft that would employ these little batteries, think twice. Waste of money & time.
These batteries are great! They are small so they don't last long, but they are cheap!
I'm a little bit of a novice in the realm of RC helis. I've had a few cheapos over the last 10 or so years. I'm big into RC cars and trucks and am just now getting back into micro heli flying. I bought a few of these to go with my heli and so far they seem to be doing very well. They only last maybe 10 minutes depending on how hard you're flying, but they seem to be lasting a little longer than the stock spektrum battery that came with my heli. I can definitely see myself buying many more of these batteries, they're really good so far overall.
Reviewers disagree sharply on this 1S 150mAh LiPo battery. One reviewer reports high failure rates over several months, with many packs failing to charge or balance, black caps breaking off, and loose connector pieces, and advises against buying. Two reviewers rate it 5/5, describing it as cheap and performing well, with one noting about 10 minutes of flight time that depends on flying style and lasting longer than a stock battery. Short run time is mentioned as a drawback by more than one reviewer. The sample is small, so the overall picture is uncertain.
