Default RE: battery for 26cc engine


ORIGINAL: millertym2000

I have a CRRC 26cc and to break it in I used a 4.8v 600 mah battery. I've seen where people say to use at least 2000mah battery, It ran fine when the battery was at full charge. Today I started it and ran it for about a minute and it bogged down and died, and would not restart. I'm guessing its the battery. I do have two 2300mah batteries on the way. would it be best to wait tell they get here to take it up for its first flight?
Just charge the batery again, and see how long it runs on a full charge. I am quite sure the ignition is OK again after a charge.
I have tested the RCexl batteries, and they worked OK down to about 3.5V, which is a 4-cell pack completely depleted.
