I have 3 "esky" 11.1V 800mAh batteries...

But, two of them were really cheap, and I assume are fakes, but seem to be working well enough...

Also looking at some generic 1000mAh from the bay... Battery is mounted so far forward, I reckon the canopy is the limiting factor..

Well I have two 7.4v 800, one 1800 11.1, one 2200 11.1, two 800 11,1.

For the honeybee I have the 800, 11,1v. One of them has a discharge rate of 25c This is the best battery pack I have for the bee. It flies very well with it, and keeps the trimming of the tail engine to a minimun.

A good balancer/charger is assential to keep the battery pack in good shape. It als save A LOT of time compared to the balancers of E-sky for instance.

    Yeah, I don't have nearly enough batts!  I have the stock 800mah HBFP batt and two 1000mah packs for it.  I have four 2200mah for my 450s and a couple more on the way.  I am going to start ordering one or two packs with every parts order and new heli.

    A better quesiton is how many CHARGERS do you have?!     Anyone been around here much has seen my ghetto flight box with four chargers built into the top compartments!    As soon as HK gets the Turnigy 6S 5A back in stock I'm getting at least one of them and have no plans to pitch any of my current ones.  I think a number of chargers is almost important as the number of packs you have.

    Hahaha.......people must cover up their wall plugs when they see YOU coming! All they see is their meter wheel spinning FASTER AND FASTER! LOL
    Can you post a link to your ghetto flight box thread? That sounds interesting.

    I ordered (4) of those 1000mAh batteries from Hobby King that you use Wayne. How long does it usually take for you to receive them?

    Bro, I hope you did EMS shipping.  If so, probably about 2 weeks if nothing is on back order.  Otherwise 3-4 weeks on the reg air mail.  Maybe add 1 extra day cuz you "up north" 

    Here is my ghetto flight box!  I only use one plug (in the bottom of the box is a power strip that powers everything to make it real easy!

     Nice box!. I have a Skycharger B6AC0 so I don't typically use the balance/chargers shipped with the Heli's.

     HK is having allot of problems with shipping atmdue to the Chinese New Year - so I have read on their forums.

     HD usually will have nice packs in clearance and they ship/deliver quicker IMO.
