Hello all:

Have had the MSRX for a few years now. Was using Turnigy 160 batteries I bought about three years ago.

Today, about six of those wouldn't take or hold a charge so I chucked them.

Want to buy about a dozen to replace. But what should I get?

Related question. I have been charging these batteries with a parallel pigtail. Maybe that is not good? Maybe I cooked them on that? Should I use that method any longer?

Thanks for your help.

Michael

I went from e-flite 150mah to turnigy 160mah to lectron 180mah on my Blade micro's (MCX2, MSR, MSRX).

The "Lectron Pro 3.7V 180mAh 45C Lipo Battery" is now my standard micro battery and gives me about 1:30 more flight time with the MCX2.

The Lectron is sold in packs of two, best deals are on ebay.

Xtreme Production sells a "3.7v, 200 mAh 35C" that I'm going to test out with the MSRX since those guys use up battery faster then the MCX2.

I use Xtreme's "Charging Cable for 3pcs NanoCPX Lipo Balance Charger" so I can charge three 1s at a time and keep them balanced.

Hope this helps.
