El aston Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Hi guys what’s the best battery’s to get for my Tm as I’m getting it re wired to deans eventually. Just wondering what battery’s you guys use.
Supporters Prisce Posted January 31, 2019 Supporters Posted January 31, 2019 I use Kong power battery’s from FireSupport for my CQBR. But I use Rhino/Turnigy batteries from Hobby King in my TM Scar: Hobby king are quality batteries at very good prices.
Immortal Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Can't go wrong with Turnigy or Turnigy Nanos... Surprisingly there's actually only about 4 factories that make Lipos and they're all in China. So many brands are likely to have come from the same factory and been rewrapped. Or a 25% chance anyway...
clumpyedge Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Vapex Kong power Nuprol (probably the only thing id suggest of nuprol) Giant power Turnigy
Supporters Druid799 Posted January 31, 2019 Supporters Posted January 31, 2019 Turnigy all the way for me as well

Thank you guys, will look at these batteries turnigy seems popular
Swampysteve Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I'm just about to go lipo to so interesting reading all the replies. I'd be normally happy to stick with my 9.6 NiMH but new stock has zero space for a nunchuck style so need to go smaller. Not to hijack the post BUT what lipo chargers do people use/recommend. Most I've seen are quite pricey.
Iceni Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Imax b6ac from hobby king £35.https://hobbyking.com/en_us/imax-b6ac-v2-professional-balance-charger-discharger-uk-plug.html You could get the slightly cheaper non ac variant, but then you have to find a power brick for it as well. The AC one runs on mains power so it's all self-contained. It's not powerful enough for gang charging, but you shouldn't be doing that if you need advice on chargers.
Iceni Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 If I wanted pricey I'd go with the Skyrc Q200. 4 channels and capable of 5 amps on each channel without needing special provision. It'll probably be my next charger TBF unless something new comes along in the meantime.https://www.hobbyrc.co.uk/skyrc-q200-quatrro-4-channel-200w-ac-balance-charger
Swampysteve Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Cheers guys, no won't be charging more than one at time so that link should work a treat ? @Iceni is this the same? Hobbyking out of stock https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F312404387635
Iceni Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 It's a clone of the V1 b6. So use paypal so you can send it back if it's a dud. Other than that watch it like a hawk for the first couple of charges to make sure it doesn't get too hot and it cuts off at the correct voltage. There are hundreds of clones out there, a lot of people don't even realise their clones. I can't advise you to pick it up or avoid tho. You know what it is, and buy it knowing the risks. It's also the stock B6 and uses a power brick, rather than the inbuilt design.
Supporters Prisce Posted January 31, 2019 Supporters Posted January 31, 2019 The stock needs slight modification with a file to allow the batteries to fit perfectly. It’s ever so slight.

Supporters Prisce Posted January 31, 2019 Supporters Posted January 31, 2019 I use the 1200Mah sticks because that’s about all that fits.
EDcase Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I got these as its a very good deal: https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/kong-power-74v-1300mah-20c-lipo-rechargeable-battery-stick-packdeans-2-packs To replace any standard NiMH battery (even 9.6v), get 7.4v LiPo. Do not get 11.1v The mAh, get highest you can fit. ...and convert to DEANS (Read up on it. Not that hard to do. Reduces resistance so helps battery life while reducing heat build-up)

EDcase Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 1 hour ago, El aston said: So 2 of these batteries will fit fine in my Tm cqb? And last most of the day with 2? You only use one at a time. Should fit most battery compartments. Check size: 125mm(L) 22mm(W) 13mm(H) Depends on motor size and how much firing you do but 2 should last a day. NOTE: The connector is NOT standard. If you have not changed your weapon connector to DEANS then look for same batteries with TAMIYA connector instead. You'll also need a good LiPo charger. Search the forum for more info

Search the forum for more info Hi mate, I have just got this and they are fitting it with the deans. https://eagle6.co.uk/shop/catalog/product/view/id/3655/s/option-no-1-lipo-battery-adaptor-bar-kit-for-m4-hk416-next-generation-recoil-shock-series/ also as for a charger someone posted one for around £35 that should do the job unless can get a cheeper one
EDcase Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Duno what that is as I don't have a recoil shock rifle. All it needs is a male Deans connector instead of Tamiya. £35 would be about right for a decent charger I think. (as long as its not a cheap clone pretending)
El aston Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 Hey guys just brought the 'Kong Power 7.4v 1300mAh 20c LiPo Rechargeable Battery (Stick Pack)(Deans) 2 packs' .... Just need a charger the one posted earlier was not in the uk. Anyone suggest any others
