Hi,

Is it possible to use a  850mAh-3Cell 11.1V 20C LiPo for transmitter?
I have a Flysky FS-T6, and there is no way for battery mod for pack, and its Eating up AA batteries like anything. A fresh set of batteries for just 2 hours of operation. so im planning to connect LIpo to the pins where the AA batteries goes.

moreover a LIPO will go good instead of NIMh as most of the electric people will already have a 3s charger for the same.
Any inputs are welcome.

Regards
Ashok.

If that LiPo fits inside the battery compartment....then you can use it...
It is always recommended to use larger LiPo that will fit inside the compartment.
Also don't forget to add a Onboard Low voltage LiPo alarm incase the battery is over discharged...

So there wont be any issues with overcurrent and stuff right?

No..there wont be any overcurrent...The Tx will consume current only when it needs it...You cannot force current through it...
To force current through it you have to increase the voltage...
With 3S there will be no problem...as Tx previously used 8 x 1.5V cells = 12V

thanks, Santhosh,

Ill try it this week,

i am using this nanotech 850Mah battery.... its working well.

Double check the Polarity

can you please post the Link where did you purchased it,..

If the battery bay is the same as the CT-6B, you can use the 1450mah tx pack that is available with adiboy. Whatever lipo you use, take care to use the ones that have a discharge rate of 1c or lower. These are lipos made specially for Txs which have very low self discharge rate. Cheers!

Bindass!

You can use the low c rating Lipos for Txs as TXs dont pull much current (as compared to motors) and you will save some dollars
Using a 3s lipo used to drive motors is an under utilization of the battery when fitted in TXs.

this is somethin ive been worried about, if a 20c battery is used, will it not fry the tx, and the most tx packs i see online are Nimh and not lipo, then i have to find a charger for that too. The battery bay isflat 8 battery one, not as ct 6b.

20c is 20 times capacity. Like santhosh mentioned, the battery cannot force current thru the Tx. The Tx pulls current from the battery. 20 C specifies the upper limit the battery can provide, *when asked for*. A 2.2A (2200mAh) 20 C can thus provide a burst of 2.2 * 20C = 44 A of current, beyond which it will die.

There is a flat battery also available on HK that should fit.

Here's a rule to remember:

Voltage is supplied, current is drawn.

And is it good to use a puffed 2.2mAh 20C battery on a Tx( 9XR)?

@v2 eagle, Here is the link for the battery http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9787__Turnigy_1450mAh_3S_11_1v_Transmitter_Lipoly_Pack.html
Cheers!

In general, it is never good to use puffy Lipos anywhere. A little bit puffiness is generally tolerable, but will always snatch your peace of mind, leaving on behind with "what if?"

As for the voltage current duality, no apparent issues.

its super puffd :O
lets wait for a blast

Honestly, if you want blasts, get some firecrackers. LiPo blasts can cause serious injuries...
goto 2.45

omg, too dangerous.

:O :O
I will get a new one next month

go to hobby sea or any other lhs and purchase a Zippy 1000Mah 20 c lipo it doesnt fit inside it u will reqquire some extra taping  rest all is well have been using it on my Fly Sky TX since ast 1 year and no issues till now.

I have the same Zippy 1000mah lipo, im lpanning to buy a new turnigy 2200mah for may coro wing trainer and use the Zippy Lipo for TX.
Thanks for your input...

@v2thts gud contact me if u need help.
