Flightpower EON X LiPo
Hi
I am considering investing heavily in some new Flight power Eon X cells but befope I do does anyone have any experience of these cells. I read the spec and they seem too good to be true. I always thought that charging at higher than 1C would drastically shorten the cells life but reading the fFlightpower site seems to suggest these cells are capable of taking it. I already have a Flightpower 6S cell which has not had alot of use but the capacity has fallen 20%, to be honest this may have been my fault as it got an accidental deep discharge on only its third flight, but I would like to get other peoples input.

But try google them, You can easily get them straight from the manucfaturer for a fair price as well.

Mike ... I got the Desire Power from the factory direct, I will not touch them again. I got the 25C and 30C packs to test and they did not hold up well. 20 cycles and puffing started. Price wise its not all that great ... best off using Rhinos and Zippys from Hobby City. If you really want their contact just PM me ok! I can give you the factory sales person's contact. I have always been using FP batts only but of late I see that the Rhinos are holding up well at 1/3 the price.
All the new batts can charge at more than 1C, 2.5C even but its a fact that by doing so it will shorten the life span. Some people who have got amazing number of cycles on their batts have charged them at 0.25C and run them around a mere 8C ... 200 cycles from a pack is nothing, the total number of cycles is shocking from what one leading manufacturer tells me.

I've tested the new EonX 30 packs, I've compared them to last year's EVO 30's as well as the new Thunder Power Pro Power 40C packs. I've posted a lengthy write up over on RCGroups, you might be interested...
