I've been out of the hobby for a while and just went to do some flying and all my batteries are dead. What are the best 150 mAh batteries these days and where is the best place to purchase some?

I have a couple PowerEdge 1S 3.7V 160 mAh 20C and they are the only ones still working. All the others are E-Flite 150 mAh.

Thanks

Best batteries bar none.

170 mah batteries. I'm getting 9 minutes of flight time on my mSR. M

Eflite has a 150mah 45c that in my opinion, after using 4-5 other brands perform the best. They are $4.99 at Horizonhobby. I believe the original Eflites were 30c.

I really like these. They work great in the mSR, mSR X and the Nano QX.

I use the exact same thing...

But I've heard it said that the larger output battery doesn't equate in longer flight times or better overall performance...

The motors tend to overheat and the excess weight seems to take it's toll, but I've just kept with them...motors are cheap, and I can go brushless if I want

Your mSR will fly on those...but the added weight may affect performance by a few percentage points...

Most pilots would probably not notice, and you might see an extra minute or two of flight time

But with added weight and longer flights comes higher demand and heat on the motors

Until the next evolution in battery tech, it's a vicious cycle we all have to live with
