Review: Rhino (Zippy) 4900mah 6S Lipo Review
I just brought 3 based on the fact they are so dam cheap (the cost of 1 well known brand). They also weigh exactly the same as a TP5000 6S V2 (+- 2grams). If that’s your current battery then COG wont change. They come pre-installed with deans connectors which is a nice touch. The balancer connector is an “Align Balancer Connector”, so it’s easy enough to connect any type of balancer with the right adapter.
When I first ordered them I was a little concerned that the 20C rating might be a little low for hard 3D but after the first flight test that doesn’t seems to be the case at all. They were barely warm and they have some serious power, as much as I’ve ever felt with other well know brands. I don’t have any hard data to support that but my Trex600 “feels” like it has a tonne of power, and that’s good enough for me.
Perhaps they are rated for 20C in order to get a higher level of safety or performance?
I would urge others with a Trex600 or similar to think about trying these batteries, they are serious value for money. These batteries are going to force the rc battery industry to reevaluate current pricing models, which is long over due IMHO.
The only question now is how many cycles will I get with these batteries?
Rating 9/10
