Hi above. I am John's son. After speaking with Keith Black about his setup, we realized that we would probably need to end up getting a pair of chargers for a set of three (6 total) batteries. This past weekend at a contest, Keith had one pair charging, one pair flying and one pair cooling along with some other times in which he had two pairs of batteries charging at the same time. That is why my dad and I have more than one 1010. Now that is out of the way, the battery that we are talking about is the TP5000-5SX (5000 mAh, 5 cells (18.5V), 6-pin balancer connector Rating: 20C (100A) continuous, 30C (150A) sustain, 50C (250A) burst Dimension: 42mm x48mm x160mm Weight: 613gm). These very high amperage ratings look very appealing, but are they really needed. My thinking would attribute this battery to a full scale turboprop. Most engines are rated to a much higher horsepower than they are actually used, which in turn helps them last longer. Would it be the same for the batteries? We would most likely only draw 63-70 amps with the setup that we are going to use (Hacker C50-13XL APC20x13E Hacker Master 90 Acro) Since the batteries are rated for such a higher amperage, would it not put as much of a strain on them and in turn help them last longer? I am very interested in these batteries as the 2070mAh 3S pack looks like a shoe-in fit for my Trex as well.

Thanks for any help or advice from anyone in advance.

Nick
