Haiyin LiPos are back in stock now:

Just for information, Haiyin gets approval from Sharma Models! Here's Vivek Sharma Sir's own words:

"Your batteries are the most reliable ones I bought from Indian sellers"

Vishal, do the Haiyin 3S 2200mAH LiPos come with a C rating of 25 or greater? If yes could you please stock them. Most of my quads need 2200mAH LiPos and 20C is just not good enough anymore.

By the way, I'd like to second Sharma sir's words. I use Haiyin LiPos in all my important projects.
The one you sent me for testing is still galloping like a stallion. There's no puffing in the slightest or any signs of decrease in performance. It's like there's alien technology inside!

It might seem like I'm exaggerating, but I do crazy extreme stuff with my quads and none of the other brands could survive it. I bought a couple of other brands around the time you sent me the Haiyin. The Wolfpack and Avionic LiPos died first. Then it was IndPower and most recently the two Turnigy LiPos.

I wish you'd stock 3s 2200mAH 25-30 C LiPos so I don't have to resort to other brands.   

Further update from June 16th

The Lipo is still going strong! Crossed 110 cycles, and the only sign of age is that it now takes about 10% longer time to charge/balance completely. Goes to 4,2/4.2/4.2 still 

A good quality product. None of my HK batteries ever lasted more than 60-70 cycles

Thank you so much for your kind words Swapnil You have made my day. I wish I could stock more range but unfortunately it isn't easy doing business in India where price plays a key role. I have to say with heavy heart that people care more about price than quality here. That's my experience with about little less than 2 years into this business.

@Sanjay sir Thanks a lot for taking time to write your feedback. It's much appreciated

Anytime, Vishal

In fact I am as price conscious as the next person! But, I prefer to look at life cycle cost rather than initial capital cost

That's perfectly OK and how it should be Sanjay sir  No point in paying higher price for same quality Apples elsewhere, when you can get them cheap in your local market.

My 1300 mah 3s are doing great , more than 50 cycles on them . Have not faced any puffing problems or balancing problems .

@Rcjabalpur Thank you so much!

I am using 3 nos 1300mah.. brilliant performance. Hold charge.. these are well balanced batteries.

Thank you Rooster

Further update

The Lipo has crossed 180 cycles, and........... is still going strong!!! Amazing.

Only thing, it now takes a little longer to fully balance charge. When new, it took about 30 minutes, now about 45 minutes (I charge at 1 C ie 2.2 A on a 2200 mAh)

Great quality Vishal!

Same with mine. It's started to look a bit puffy too now. I stopped keeping track of the cycles count after it crossed 200. That was a couple of months ago. I'm currently using the Haiyin LiPo on my autonomous robot.

I've never had a Turnigy LiPo cross 100 cycles 

well.... guess I too need to shift to these batteries..... my Turnigy start to swell up after 40 odd cycles....

Following these reviews;
My next fleet of batteries will all be from kinetic hobbies.
Great batteries vishal sir.

I bought three 500Mah during offer period from Kinetic hobbies. One puffed, ( don't know if it is due to exposure to rain-when my maiden of SLOFLY28 ended up on a very tall tree   ) and the same day we had unexpected rain and that one (? Can't recognise) doesn't hold charge well.

I have one Turnigy 3S 4000 and one Zippy 3S 4000 that have been going strong for over a year now on my Reptile 500. I stopped counting cycles but I am certain I have crossed 100, if not 200 or more. However, the current king in terms of cycle like is the Graphene series from HobbyKing. One tester has reported well over a thousand cycles (including actual flights and charger cycles). Pity they are almost impossible to obtain (at least right now).
