Default Battery for K310G

Good day, I'd like to ask for advice ... which battery I will use. I'm used to lipo and I work perfectly with other turbines I use. Thanks

I use a 3s life battery on all of my Kingtechs including the new 310g. I use at least a 2100mah for the turbine only and check it after every 3rd flight and usually change it out for a fresh one.

I use a 3800 mah LiFe on my K210 and my K160 which actually came from KingTech.

I'm not clear from your post, but do not use a LiPo for the ECU on these engines. A two cell LiPo may not have enough power to get it started and then fly while a three cell LiPo will cook things in the engine like the glow plug. In fact, KingTech says you should not apply more than 10.0 volts and a three cell LiFe will come off the charger at about 10.6 volts. So a freshly charged battery needs to be drawn down to 10.0 volts before you initiate a start. The easiest way to do this is to just use the starter motor to spin the engine a bit which will pull the battery down 10 10.0 volts in a very short period of time.
