From: , HI
I'm wanting to buy some battery packs from [link]http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com[/link] and I was wondering if anyone could help me decide on which battery to pick.
I want to build a 7 cell 370aMH for my Pico Stick and was wondering if the Gold Peak 400 or CBP350 is a good choice. Also the website says to use 22 gauge wire with JST plugs but will 18 or 20 work?
Thanks!

Hi,
The Gold Peaks are good batts. But I also think the CPB's are just as good and a little cheaper. I've ordered several loose cells and packs from mike. He's a very good guy to order from. From my own experience its a lot easier to screw up the smaller cells when you build your own pack they cant handle much heat!!! I usually build my own packs but when it comes to the smaller packs and cells I just let mike build them for me. Enough rambling to answer your question I'd go with the CPB's thats what I use and never have had a problem.

Well the 22 gauge is standard for the JST connector.. thats what I use and works fine... If you wanted bigger wire you would have to drill the JST connector out to fit the size wire you where using.
