ORIGINAL: Night Scream

Hi everyone:

I recently purchased an Foam electric plane that came with 2 7.4volt lithium ion batteries. plus all the servos and ESC installed and i have flown it for quite a while.

But I recently purchased an 11.1volt lithium-ion battery from hobbyking for an EDF jet i had that passed to a better life..

Question could i use that battery on the foamy?

I honesly dunno the brand or maximum battery the ESC can handle since it says nothing in either side of it..

How can I tell if the ESC can handle thebigger battery or not??

Find the specs on the ESC. If it can handle the higher voltage, THEN you need to find out if the motor will too.

What was the plane? Brand on the box? any brands on anything else?
