I have been saying LhS from a long time to get 18650, glad some one started.

Yeah even I support use of 18650 LiIons in RC but LHS must note that not all 18650 Lithium chemistry batteries are suitable and safe for RC use. IIRC, only INR/IMR/IFR have good discharge capabilities with IFR(LiFe) having best discharge capability. INR and IMR are safer than other chemistries & LiPos as well.

Hi,
That's true......we've already kept that in mind.You won't need to worry about this

Glad to know that Really looking forward to your battery packs. IMO higher voltage Battery LiIon packs like 4S+ might be more useful since for same Power(Watts) draw we can have a reduction in AMPs Discharged. One good thing is that Discharge rates are increasing on newer LG and Panasonic LiIons(not sure about Samsung and Sanyo). On top of that LiIons have higher energy density than LiPos. In short, soon we can see 18650 LiIons being used more frequently in RC community. Good luck with your venture Wish you all the best.

Well good to know about local solution for batteries , even I was working on the same lines from past three months, only problem is getting reliable 18650 batteries slowing down my work , but anyway so far successful in making my own 3s battery pack for a 450 sized quad, working on more iterations to come up with a better pack.

Which 18650s are you using ?

Using Samsung 25R Series  18650s

@Team Dronish where can I find the details (price, weight etc.) of the battery packs designed by you?
