NOTE: When using high energy Li-Polymer Batteries, please do not over-discharge or over-charge batteries as this will result in over heated batteries. Discharging capacity can't exceed 80% of the max capacity of the pack after full charging to ensure a good cycle performance. It is recommended to fully charge a brand new battery before using and only discharge the battery 50% for first 5 cycles. Always monitor race time and/or set a low voltage warning on ESC (End voltage cannot be lower than 3.2v per cell) Do not use the battery that has too low a voltage.
Do not expose batteries to sunshine or store/charge batteries at the temperature above 95°F/35°C or in a closed car. The high temperature environment could cause damage to the pack or make it burst. If the battery becomes hot while fast charging, high current discharging or racing, do not charge the battery until it has cooled completely. Wait about 20 mins, then inspect prior to recharging.

What a punchy battery! This thing pushes my Redcat Gen 8 from 0 to “good lord” in nothing flat! Life is also excellent! I can crawl for over an hour!
EcoPower "Trail" 3S Shorty 50C LiPo Battery (11.1V/4200mAh) [ECP-5115] Work as expected, no issues using or charging.
This battery has become my go-to 3s for my crawler for the past 7+ months, great punch and capacity in a shorty pack.
I have used this battery two dozen times or so in either my SCX10 II or my Gen8 Axe. It certainly provides enough power when needed, sometimes maybe too much even. I have never ran it down to the low voltage cutoff, I run it for 30-45 minutes and it has never gone below 11.6 Volts so plenty of run time for me.
This battery did not last long, minimal usage and now its puffed up like the marshmellow man. There was a reason it was cheap, dont buy and I would actually like a refund. I have batteries that are 6-7 times older than this battery running str5ong. bad product.
Ten verified-owner reviews, all for the same 3S 4200mAh shorty variant, average about 3.9 out of 5. Most reviewers praise its punch, long run times on 1/10 scale crawlers and trucks such as the SCX10 II and Gen8, and its compact size. Several owners report good service life over months of use. Two reviewers describe swelling or puffing after little use, and two describe charging problems, including one where voltage fell during charging and a suspected bad cell. Reports of failure are limited but recurring, and the sample is small.
