I have been flying since 1994, but with the price of glow fuel, I have decided to start moving to electric.

So I made a mistake. I ordered a new battery for my first glow to electric conversion, and in my haste, I ordered a 3S when I wanted a 6S. I saw the 60C I think, and ordered it thinking it was a 6S.

I have two 3S 5500 batteries, both new, matching batteries. I think I am going to run them together for now, until I get around to picking up another 6S.

is there anything special I should know about running two LiPo batteries together? ]]> Tomrass https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/batteries-chargers-84/11717548-battery-advice.html https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/batteries-chargers-84/11717547-battery-advice.html Thu, 04 Jun 2026 02:37:07 GMT Im new to the electric world.

First question: after you charge it, and then disconnect the leads, it comes up with a number. its usually around 1000-1100 for me. What is that number?
Second question: what settings should i be charging my batteries on? i started charging them at 3.0 amps @ 10 mv, but then went to 15mv. My batteries are Trinity panasonic team matched 3000 mah. They say to charge at 15-20 mv, but i thought you were supposed to charge @ 5 mv per cell?
Is there anyway to slow charge the batteries? because i dont have a slow charger to give the batteries a 'formation or foundation charge'
I seem to only get about 3-4 minutes of run time with these batteries, and they say that they have about 380+ second run time @ 30 amp discharge.
I'm running an orion rush 17t motor with a novak 17t esc, and a novak xxl reciever.-TC3 ]]> campbellbennet https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/batteries-chargers-84/11717537-959-help.html
