Half-A battery pack
 

Hi all,

I'm looking for a small, lightweight battery pack for my Warlock. Could you steer me in the right direction? All I can find when I search Tower is an 1100mah pack that weighs 3.9 oz. I'm trying for something lighter. It has to be something that I can purchase pre-assembled, though, as I suck at soldering batteries.

Thanks in advance.

Tim

If you are looking for a small RX pack, try these two. They are both around 2oz.

Thanks, Chuck. I am running 5 mini servos (not micros). How many flights would I get out of that pack before it needs recharging? I noticed the Futaba pack says a 'quick' charge is 5 hours........

So, went to the LHS over lunch and found a HobbyZone 4.8V 600mah NIMH battery that is used in the Firebird series - $13.99. It weighs 2.1 oz. That should help things a bit. I think I will also swap out the throttle servo(currently a mini servo) for a micro servo and I should lose a bit more. Just like me, the plane needs to go on a diet..... :)

I bought these on eBay, got them for about $6 to the door:

The 400 mah NiMH pack from Radical R/C http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9004670/tm.htm weighs 1.05 ounces. Makes a great 1/2A flight pack.
