So I have ordered the HH Brushless upgrade for my Nano. I have been reading about what are good batteries for them, and I haven't seen these mentioned yet.... are these any good, or are these junk?

If someone has tried these out and with or without the Brushless mod, and they don't mind sharing their opinion.... thanks in advance!!!

Jack

Haven't seen that one...but I use both the 45C e-flite and the Lectron Pro 45C...

Biggest thing is never fly them to LVC or they go to crap quickly...

Ask Me how I know this

JackG79 · 03-02-2014, 06:33 PM

Jon, how does one know when the battery reaches Low Voltage Cut-off? is that when the LED's in the canopy start to flash?

Yes...by then it's pretty much on its way out...

I've found that once you hit LVC one time, the battery won't ever be the same...
Today's RC just demands so much from batteries that we'll be waiting with baited breath for the next generation of batteries to make a debut

JackG79 · 03-02-2014, 06:41 PM

Yeah, the Tech, and Nano-Tech has def. surpassed the chemical tech that goes into the batteries. It will be cool when they finally catch up, and everything is on par.

Im researching batteries to buy for the Nano. Do you have any suggestions? or know of a vendor that has them in stock?

JonJet · 03-02-2014, 06:43 PM

Incidentally, Jack...

There has been oodles of info posted about the HH upgrade brushless kit...

My own experience says go for the gusto and have one of the HF guru's do a dbl bl conversion...the HH upgrade is kinda like a Band-Aid on a broken leg

More of a cover-up than an actual fix

Hope yours is one of the better ones

I really like the pulse 30c. They have nearly as much kick, last longer, provide more consistent voltage and cost the same or less. Then I'm not giving HH any more money.

DeGrizzle · 03-06-2014, 03:21 PM

For those of you using the 45c eflites, what are you setting your timer to?

I use 3:30 and have never had a problem...plenty of batteries

CrashyCrashy · 03-06-2014, 06:00 PM

I fly 3D at 100% and limit my flights to 3:00 max(2:45 mostly.) Depends on your set up and flying style.

JackG79 · 03-07-2014, 04:37 AM

Well, I couldn't decide on just one battery type, so I kinda took everyones advise and got a few of each.

I got the 6 Lectron Pro 3.7 volt 180mAh 45C from GoNitroHobbies (Love doing business, these guys are really good).

4 of the E-Flite 150 45C's.

5 of the Oversky 200's that Dylwad recommended (I believe his name is Dylan, and he was a big help in finding the batteries at the right price!!!)

I wish I would have paid more attention to where I ordered these overskys though. After I placed my order, I noticed that they are coming from Hong Kong, So I guess this will give me plenty of time to try out the others first.

and last I got 1 of those new "Microheli 200mAh 3.7V 35C Battery MH-2001S35". I just got this more or less to try it out and review it myself.

Thanks everyone for all the help. I recieved my HH Brushless upgrade kit in the mail, but after reading this thread I'm not sure if I should install the thing, or just sell it on Ebay. It seems to have some mixed reviews. I mostly bought it because I didn't want to have to replace the motor in the Nano every few weeks. It sounds like they have a bad reputation for going bad. Im far from flying inverted or 3D, So I guess I got it more as a reliability thing.

I dunno what to do with it... maybe i'll just hangon to it and get a new Nano BnF and install it in the old one in a few months when I am back to work and working overtime.

Anything to report back on your recent batch of batteries Jack? I think it's time I ditched the 25C Eflights...

Noticeably difference with any of the batteries listed. Upgrade you're missing out!

I spoke to Jack last week...he was pretty impressed with all the varieties, much better that the 25C's...

The 45C's are really good in the stock Nano, but almost a necessity in the brushless versions

I've got a few of the 200's on order already!

robschaap · 03-28-2014, 09:00 AM

I've been using 6 of the Lectrons (4 180 and 2 150 mah),1 Venom 25C, 1 Tenergy, 4 Eflite 25C, 1 Eflite 45C. I'm not flying 3D so I can only refer to the power towards the end of the flight, with a brushless HH motor hovering about 70 - 80%.

I've been happy with the Lectron 180's to be honest. I have had them as long as the Eflites, and while I'm watching them wane, the Lectrons are performing like they're new still. They're made by Common Sense - and to be honest I've had really really poor expereince with Common Sense batteries for my Trex 450 a couple years back. Had I known they made the Lectrons I would have steered clear to begin with.

Nano batteries are between $4 and $10 each... no need to push them too long when you can have a dozen of them for nothing compared to a 450 or 500 class heli setup. I only fly for 3:00 (breaking in) - 4:00 (once broken in) just to be sure and not blow money, but I've been overjoyed with the price and frankly they cost about the same as some AA batteries.

CTYankee15 · 04-27-2014, 04:17 PM

I'm about to pull the trigger on the Lectron's from GoNitroHobbies. Any others I should consider? Where is the best price for the Oversky's they mention? I'd like to keep weight down, but do have the HH brushless mod.
