This makes the overall vehicle weight lighter for significantly improved acceleration. These batteries also have a nominal voltage of 7.4V compared to the 7.2V of regular NiMH batteries, and have dramatically reduced internal resistance. This leads to increased top speed and improved 'punch' off the line.

  •  When used with Traxxas 2S applications, you must install an adapter for the Traxxas High Current Connector (PTK-5228).
  • Some vehicles may require some re-balancing if the light weight of these batteries cause some handling changes. To get the vehicle to balance correctly, add some weight to the battery side of the vehicle.

EcoPower "Electron" 2S 30C Hard Case LiPo Battery (7.4V/5000mAh) (ROAR Approved)
I will start by saying that these batteries are great for the price. I have 4 or 5 five of these batteries. I bought a few the day after Thanksgiving last year for $20. I use them in my race trucks because I couldn't see paying a $100 bucks for one. They have worked well and seem to have good power and reserve but I have noticed they are starting to loose some of their juice. I probably have over 50 cycles over the ones I use the most (I marked them when new) and it just seemed that at the last race I was missing some speed about 2 minutes into the race. For someone just starting to race or getting into the hobby, I feel that these are the best batteries that money can buy.

NEW info

I have since purchased some of the Protek 100C batteries and there is definitely a difference in performance. I still recommend though for someone getting into the sport or hobby to buy the Ecopower batteries first. Until you understand the whole concept of charging and discharging LIPO batteries properly I would not buy expensive batteries just in case you damage a battery. Plus I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between the Ecopower and Protek batteries when I first started racing because I could not consistently hold the truck straight and get on the throttle hard.

hi this is josh and i have had this battery almost a month and it is one of the best batteries i can think of for the price. i got the ecopower electron 65ac charger and this battery for $85.00 and it was my best decision for my birth day i wish i just had got a stampede or something instead of the savage xs because it has only 10-15 runs and i probably have 40.00 in spare parts not including what hpi sent me. this is a very good battery it lasts about 30-45 mins with half to full throtle and it has plenty of punch this would probably would not be the best battery for a power 8th scale brushless because of the c rating but for a savage xs or a trail truck it would be a good combo for one of those. i would recomend you get this 100%. also if your esc doesn't have deans than you need to solder a connector on this that goes with your esc. if you get this battery or any lipo make sure you have a lipo safe bag to prevent damage if a lipo fire may occur. thanks for reading, Josh

This battery works great. I have it in my 2wd slash and it works well with the xl5 esc. After i upgraded to my castle system i wish the run time was a little longer but can't complain. Overall good.

Gotta love Amain's shipping, came really quick :). The pack is pretty good. The case is nice and made of some good plastic. I have only ran it once thus far and it gets good runs. It is actually the only pack I have ever gotten that has charged to the actiually mah ratings which is good in my book! Will probably get another one while the 'shipping' is free and can get it for 35 :)!!!

EcoPower "Electron" 2S 30C Hard Case LiPo Battery (7.4V/5000mAh) (ROAR Approved)
First look at battery. I bought mine about a month ago. 20 or so charges just started to notice that it's maxing out a 8.37V instead of the 8.40V. Maybe I charged it too soon after running. Maybe it's just the battery! but for a 5000mah lipo verses a 1800mah nimh on my ECX Ruckus? That's 2.8x the run time! Charges good at 5A (also charges faster than the stock nimh & charger). Stays pretty well balanced while charging. For backyard bashing, this battery is working out so far! I just need to upgrade to a brushless system next ;)

Now. My battery lasted me exactly two years before it started swelling. It didn't hold full voltage after a charge for half the time probably. But it didn't seem to care. It seen hundreds of cycles during the time it was alive. So for the amount of yard bashing I did, it withstood for quite a while. I used the ecopower charger as well.

I have had a charger that is compatible with Lipo battery's for a long time, but I wasn't going to transition to lipos due to how expensive they can be. Now in all honesty I am not a lipo wiz. But I have had these battery's for almost a year now and have been extremely happy with them. They still charge to capacity and balance well. Thank you Amain for giving us a cheap alternative lipo!

I bought 2 of these and so far very good. I use them for practice and for bashing with my kids. I was going to use them for racing but decided to get a better battery, not because these don`t work but because i just wanted something a little better. I have used these for about 3 months and they still seem work great. For the price you can`t go wrong. i will get some more of these when they go on sale again.

I bought one of these batteries to try, and it is awesome, just like the other reviews have stated. After the first charge my TC picked up 1-2 mph of straight-line speed, according to the radar gun. This battery's smaller size is also a big advantage when space is limited. Where else can you find a ROAR approved, hard cased LiPo battery for $35 bucks? I am definitely getting some more of these! I only wish that they would have the option of being sold with a Traxxas plug; but, it gives me an excuse to break out the soldering iron! Great LiPo at a great price, period.

This is a phenomenal battery at any price, but for this its a steal! I just wanted a cheap 2S LiPo but that is not what I got with this battery. The cells are perfectly matched, arrived at 47%, and I feel like I probably didn't even need to break it in. I am running a castle 3800kv motor in a stampede 4x4 and it kills batteries but this one has more than risen to the occasion. Buy two, you won't find a better 2S for the money you would pay for two of these.

I picked up 3 of these for my SC10B for racing. After two race days and several charges on each I have to say these are good batteries for the price. I ran for over 20 minutes in practice and only charged it by 3900 mah. It would only use 1600 mah in the heat races and closer to 2200 in the mains. I will buy more of these. These would be a great bashing battery also.
