RE: whose li po
Not to state the obvious, but you really should ask these kinds of questions before you buy.
"hecell" gives us a clue. www.edogfight.com sells hecell brand NiMH batteries, and a couple of hecell LiPolys, but not in a 4200mAh pack. None of the hecell packs they sell could be combined to make 4200mAh, either.
The HECELL packs they do sell are rated to 6C discharge, and I would expect yours is the same. 4200mAh at 6C gives you 25.2 Amps.
How many cells in the pack, total? 14.8 Volts means that there are 4 cells in series, so there must be a multiple of 4 cells in the pack. 4, 8, 12, 16...
What do you plan on using this for? The pack's much too large for a park flier. It might be useful in a roughly .30-size glow conversion, in a 3-5 pound plane.
