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.
