so who is flying the A123 / BlaCK & DECKER vpx 1100 mAh ?packs?

[EpoweredRc]

just wondered who all knew about these new cells and were flying them, the big boy 2300MAH are still good for bigger planes but for planes under 20 ounce or so these are good.

I flew a 3 and 4 cell pack on my edge 540 profile other day flew great, who else are using them?

here is a picture of the plane I flew with them and a pic of what the battery looks like in the stores, Once taken apart they are yello cells and have A123 stamped on them.

Just a couple new pictures with these cells on my plane, have flown it 4 times today, I love these cells 8 minute flight then a 25 min charge and I am ready to go again using a Cellpro 4S charger.

That's great, now do it 300 more times and let's see if the battery loses any capacity at all.

Foamiesrfun,

How many mAh are you putting back into the pack?

anywhere around 700-950.
Depends on how low I fly it down to, I flew it down one time just to see how it would act and I put 1103 back into it the charger said.

Does the charger read out the actual mah put into the pack or just give the % of Fuel Guage reading ?

[Smiky]

The Cellpro does both.

Smiky is right, the Cell pro gives the MAH it puts into the battery and the %. I like the % on it so know how close to being finished it is. once it goes to 100% it takes about 5-10 more minutes to blance, you can look at each indivdual cell blance also.

if you was wondering the mah you get out of the battery Smiky its 900MAH you can use.
not sure why they started calling them 1100's there not really.

UPDATE: 25 flights on this pack now and still going strong, seems somtimes I get a little more out of them, I have went once with a 11 minute flight, it was not wild 3D but regular flying, need to find a neewbie and see how long they could go flying nice and easy.
