Lipo batteries. Due to money problems i cant get named brand maxamps or protek batteries. Thanks for the help
I believe that everyone has learnt allot in the past years on what to do and what not to do with Lipos. Lipos when treated properly will last many cycles. When you don't follow the guidelines they will get damaged and have a lower cycle life. Another thing to note is we sell high performance packs with low IR and there is a fine line between performance and reliability. I believe the factory we use has learnt allot in the past years and have a better understanding of what they can or can't do. I think this is also applicable to other factories as well. When Lipos first came out and flight guys would use them they would get 30-50 cycles now they can get 150-300 cycles out of a good pack.
