Arrowmax 4500mAh 11.1V 40C LiPo battery pack

Coming from Arrowmax is their latest high-performance LiPo battery pack in the form of a 4500mAh 3S variant. Built using the latest generation of heavy duty 40C/80C cells with improved electrolyte composition and new high-density stacking the battery offers exceptional performance and durability even in demanding applications such as 1/8th and 1/10th on-road and off-road cars. What makes the 11.1V battery special is the reduced height of 25.1mm, making the 3S pack as large as a standard 2S battery. This leads to weight advantages over a standard 3S pack, allowing for higher performances especially in 1/8th scale vehicles. Another feature is the unique balancer power that is hidden behind a removable silicone cover. The features list is rounded out by 5mm bullet-type tube connectors for improved power supply.

Reedy Zappers LiHV & LiPo shorty battery packs

Reedy have announced the release of their new Zappers high-performance LiHV and LiPo battery packs. At 7.6V the LiHV pack offers a higher voltage than the standard 7.4V pack, meaning increased performance during bashing or when racing “outlaw” classes. The battery can be safely charged to 8.7V and even when the typical 8.4V charging limit is enforced, the battery still offers a significant advantage thanks to a flatter discharge curve, which results in more voltage deeper into the race. Available as 4800mAh 7.6V LiHV and also as 4400mAh 7.4V standard LiPo pack, both make use of 5mm bullet-type connectors with the standard voltage pack built to meet ROAR, EFRA, BRCA and IFMAR specifications.
