11.1V 1300mah battery

[stuntkid]

I am purchasing all of the parts so I can build my own cub. I realized when I looked at the cubs battery, its connector(or whatever you call the part of the battery you plug into the electronics) is not the same as the one on the electronics I have for it. My electronics are from a Skyfly 2 and I was wondering if anyone knew where to find an 11.1V 1300mah battery that would fit that connector.
Thanks,

I know that this portion of the forum is for batteries, but it would also help if you knew where to find a decent price charger for it too.
Thanks again,

Ebay.... Imax B6......relatively cheap, and does the job brilliantly! Also the Turnigy Accucell 6 is very good, with the bonus that it will charge NiMh as well!

buy some deans type connectors and change them out.

Check out RChobbypartz.com I use them alot, and headsupRC.com

Thanks for the ideas. I was piecing together my cub and about had a heart attack when I saw that if I bought a stock battery It wouldn't connect to my electronics and just went crazy trying to find one that would work.

Yep, go for Deans.

Preferably buy the ones with ribbed sides - much easier to grip when disconnecting.

If you don't already know, be careful not to short-circuit when changing your battery connector to Deans. Also, attach a female connector to the battery - if you attach a male connector, the bare terminals are subject to short-circuit.

Thanks, I wouldn't want to waste my money buying the battery and then short circuiting it.
Thanks again,

Don't know if it's too late yet, but don't bother with the 1300 (and especially not hobbyzone brand!) Overpriced and short lived.... If you haven't done it yet, get some turnigy 2200 mah lipos (20c-30c), very cheap, powerful and long lasting! With good control, 30-60 mins flight times! And they cost about half the price of the HZ batteries! You will have to modify your cub, but it's 5 minutes work at most, and there are some many 'how to's' on how to do it, both on here and the 'net in general, that it is one of the 'must be dones" in most of the beginners guides to the supercub!

I am happy that I hadn't bought the battery yet. I was thinking about a higher mah battery to have an increased flying time. I don't really think that 5 minutes of modifying my cub will matter very much.
Thanks,

What's the difference between 20c and 30c and can a stock SC run both. I was looking at getting two or three turnigy 2200 mah lipos. which would be better for long flights at 90% of your will be in the 50% range.

The C rating is what the manufacturer states is the maximum rate that the pack can discharge, multiplying it by the capacity provides a current rating. So a 2200mAh pack (2.2A) has the following discharge values:

20 C = 44Amps, (20x2.2)
30 C = 66Amps (30x2.2)

Although these are theoretical values, you are highly unlikely to ever need to pull anything near those sort of currents in an SC.

The 30C will be heavier than the 20C, so for an SC I'd say the 20C will do.

Thank you check that off the newbie list thing to learn. LoL
