The LiFe battery is 3.3v right? A 'AA' will range from 1.2v to 1.5v.

I do not think they have such a thing. A set of them would more than double the voltage in whatever it is they are about to cook.

yes 3.3 volts each. I've seen them on you tube, just don't know where the guy bought them. I can use 2 of them in my transmitor safely...

They are hard to find. Most LiFe AA are 3.3 to 3.6v... and only 400mah to 600mah.

Not sure if its a misprint on not, but the numbers on the one Tom posted indicates its an A battery...(and a fat A at that).

td, I would think the ones you have would sell like hot cakes! 3v and 1600mah would have so many uses.

Dimensions of a AA battery measures 51 mm (2.0 in) in length—50.1 mm (1.97 in) without the button terminal—and 13.5–14.5 mm (0.53–0.57 in) in diameter.

& the one I posted...

Tom, I'm getting 2 different pages from your links, maybe the first was a typo? (the first is 18.1 diameter, 800mAh vs. 600, 18500/14505?)

Appreciate the limks though, like to try some.

More interested in these though. What's shipping to the US like? I have buddies south of the river in Windsor that could help me out perhaps.

Can you let me know when you have some, or do I need to keep checking your site or whatever? Thanks

They are two different links... Correct me if I'm wrong... but I'm pretty sure the numbers on a LiFe battery indicate the diameter. An 18500 is 18.5mm. A "fat A" is 18mm. The 14500 is 14.5mm... Its a large dia AA but it fits.

Thanks Ed & Dave +1, I corrected it this is the right one.

How long could I expect the charge to last in my dx3s?
Longer than regular AAs?

Is It possible to put all 4 life cells in stock tray and run 2s2p to double capacity, or would it be better to charge four cells and place two unconnected spare in tray to swap out when first set are discharged ( I don't think I will like the weight of my controller without four cells in it?)

Thanks

You would have to mod the battery tray & or build your own pack. I am not real familiar with spektrum radios & the max voltage they can handle so maybe someone else can help with their voltage specs.
I have a futaba 3pk & I am going to build my own 3s2p pack
