I've not bought from this person, but have bought from Ebay, with only one bad experience which paypal made good. The key is feedback rating. This seller has over 39000 trades with a 99.3% feedback rating. sounds pretty good. I don't need batteries, but if these are new batteries it sounds like a good deal. If you buy a couple give us a report of how they work.

Well I‘ve only been able to fly the packs 1 time each. It’s been way to windy here. I have a flying buddy who has tore up 2 planes in as many weeks due to the wind so my desire to push flying in the wind has held me back some. But for the batteries there is a significant increase in power. The Cub really rips through the air with them. They also have about twice the length of wire coming out of the battery so it makes them easier to install in the plane, and they have the same connectors as the stock batteries.
I wish I could comment on flight time but I didn’t want to push them to a dead stick landing with the wind. Over all for the price I don’t think you could go wrong with them. They perform great and they were shipped and received on time. A good first experience with Ebay.

I paid $31.90 for two 8 cell packs. I gave $30 for an 8 cell pack at a local hobby store. After chating with cjg I thought it was a no brainer. 2 for the price of 1. They do seem to have alot more power than the stock batts.

I took the plunge and bought 2 of these. Charged them last night with my ICE charger. One took 1250mah, the other 1320mah. Not bad since they are rated at 1100mah.
When the wind dies down I will take them out and try them. Not only is the wire longer, it is heavier guage.

Just ordered two myself... guess I'll need a better charger sometime in the future. I am not getting the life out of my stock 8.4V battery when it's being charged from the DC charger (works fine with the AC charger)

The seller is stores.ebay.co.uk/component-shop I too have just purchased a pack of these, how did you or anyone else get on with yours and also what is the best way to charge them, at present I have the dc in car charger (which im led to believe is not up to the job) and a Tamiya charger for charging rc car battery packs... are either of these any good or can someone advise a suitable charger from a uk seller. regards Darryl |
