Hey guys. I've been looking for some small 7.4v batteries. From what I've seen around, the average size 7.4v Li-Poly battery is appx 60x40mm. Does anyone know of a source with smaller packs? Maybe 40x30mm or 50x40mm?

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at the specs on the tp480 packs. TP480-2SJ http://www.thunderpower-batteries.co...batteries.html

Don't know what your looking to do but, before Lipos, on really small planes we would go to Radio Shack and get a few "button" type lithium batteries. Some are very small hearing aid size and some are about 3/4" diameter. Back then they worked just fine.

E-tec has a nice small battery that they make. I believe it's around 300-400 mah and the size is really nice. Check out www.allerc.com and look at the pack and see.

Thanks for all of your replies.

I've got some questions:

I just purchased this battery:

http://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...OD&ProdID=1228

I'm pretty satisfied with the battery. However, I've got a question. The battery came with no instructions. The battery feature a possitive and negative lead (Red, Black). These 2 leads are for the power.
The battery also came with a connector and 2 plug ins for each of the cells. My quesions is this: do I charge through the connector and plug or do I charge straight through the main power wires? If I were to ue the connector and plug, it seems that I would have to charge each cell seperately as there are 2 plugins; 1 for each cell.
Also, I was wondering if anyone could inform me on the C 10-12 discharge rating the battery has.

I'm also interested in this battery:

What kind of run time could I expect from a pack like this? I'm using these packs on some small RC toy cars. How many amps of current could a battery like that support? What would it's max stall be? Would it be able to run a 1A motor? Could it run more powerfull motors?

I'd really appreciate the input!

teamturbo,
the first set of wires being the ones you use to run the battery can be used to charge the complete pack and i would assume the other ones are for balancing cells by charging cells individually.

Not familiar with that brand myself maybe someone else can answer that but i would assume they are between 8-10c. which would be good for 1ah.


hope it helps.

So are you saying that little battery from the second link would be good for about 1 amp of continious current?

Anyone else want to comment?
