Default RE: Welcome to the FMA Direct - Kokam LiPo Support Forum



I want to use a KOK2000-15C-3S-DNS pack for use with an ASTRO Cobalt 05 G (2.38:1). Running the numbers through Electrocalc it appears I would be drawing 16 amps with a 9x6 APC prop with an input of approximately 31 watts/lb of model weight. Using larger props I can easily get to 50 watts/lb in and the flight performance predicted is just what I want but the printout notes that the battery temperature is 160F, too high for the LiPo pack which is limited to 140 F. Is 140degrees F truly the maximum temperature for this pack.

Many thanks,

Dick
