Reviews for ProTek RC LiPo Receiver Battery Pack (Mugen/AE/8ight-X) (7.4V/2300mAh) [PTK-5196]

After 3 yrs on my first pak it FINALLY died yesterday. Balanced every charge and always held a perfect balance til the very end!! And I did alot of racing with this pak. I am about to place another order for 1 or 2 more new 1s. The only issue I have is that the paks need a little better skin/cover on them. I am going to see if I can find some heat shrink to put around the outside to give it a little more protection. Fits perfectly into my 6t and my Intech BR-5.

Pack works as it's supposed to. Lasts all day in my mbx6 w/ two high voltage savox servos (sc-1267). Using a Airtronics 92744 reciever, no regulator, no nothing. Great battery, would buy again.

after 5 or 6 races, my two batteries puffed like a balloon !!!!! I am disappointed that ...... I use other batteries from Chinaand they are infinitely better than this ones....... I do not recommend! even stuffed, they work, but this way they barely fit in the reciver box ...... thanks!! guga

After owning this pack for two months and using a dozen times, it hass puffed up. This seems to be a common problem with these overpriced packs. I do not understand how they still have a 5 star rating. I am a veteran racer and know how to charge and maintain lipos , so I refuse to believe it was something I did. Buyer beware. Potentially a waste of $40, unless A Main credits me the $40, so that I may use the money on other products.

I have 5 of these batteries and I'm about to purchase 2 more. I have had ZERO issues and each battery is just as strong as the day I bought em. FORGET WHAT YOUVE HEARD ABOUT HOW TO CHARGE LIPO's... Charge these batteries at 1/2 amp, 0.5 amp, .500 amps.. whatever your flavor.. sure, it takes a long time to charge but this is how you keep the batteries in good condition. I charge em at .4 amps when I'm at home chillin. and you MUST balance the cells. (I hope people know this already)...
I've heard of people charging these at 1.5 amps, I even heard a dude try to convince me its better to charge em at 5 amps!!! if you doubt me, just try and charge one at 5 amps or even 2 amps, the charger will detect a "peak" after like 200mAh charged into the battery pack. you just cant charge em with a high rate... I'm gonna say this again just so people who may not already know much about LiPo/Life/ LIon etc...
YOU MUST NOT EXCEED 0.5 AMPS!!!! if you do, you need to buy extra batteries and a fire extinguisher.

Great battery! I've used one all last year and will again this year. It fits in my Agama A8 fine in either the front or rear portion of my radio tray.

i run 2 of these packs.. 1 in my mbx6, and other in mbx6t.. now i have a problem with one of them after about half of season or little more.. and the other one is fine charge them both the same way on a proteck i106b, equalize and everything.. but 1 has started to swell. i have yet to contact amain about this.. so i will get back on the customer support.. but they both still work fine love them..

Awesome pack, fits great in the Mugen buggy or truggy. As with any battery, charge it correctly and take care of it and it will last a season +.

Perfect battery for MBX6T...own two, ZERO issues with a full season of use. I charge/balance on Hyperion 606i. I would like to see a larger gauge wire but otherwise this pack is great.

This battery will fit in Futaba 4PK!!!

Dimensions for 4pk batteries are:

86x47x17mm or 110x32x17mm.

Perfect fit for the MBX6 and the MBX6T. Very durable with the hard shell case.

Daniel, are you sereous, It is not that hard to realize that it needed a certian way of charging, About every lipo battery on the market must be charged with a lipo safe charger

Outstanding Pack i have put on in my Ofna Hyper 9 buggy and Ofna Hyper ST Truggy. I can go out and bash and race with out worry of the battery going out. Looking to buy more thanks A Main..

have been running one in XT8 for 4 months now. after 6 x 6 minute rounds on a club day it takes 665 mA. the best part is my 7.2V Hitech servos do not need a regulator.

I feel your pain.Been waiting for months.A-Main said it's a shipping issue.To much partying overseas.lol Great Battery for the Mbx6 when it comes back.

What is the recommended charge amperage for this battery? I charge it at 2 amps and it takes 3 hours plus and all Im doing is topping it off (not charging when its almost dead). Is something wrong with my battery or what??

only battery to run in the 808,,,,,,fits great and lasts forever.

This battery is absolutely fantastic. It is a drop in for the Revo. And it's a must have with digital servos. The protek regulator is a great match for this battery.

Phenominal battery! Fits great in my Hellfire SS. First race was a 2 hour Ironman race at Oakhill RC Speedway in Waterford, PA. Pack lasted easily with no loss of servo speed or power, and could've easily lasted much longer. Run it with the ProTek voltage regulator for an unbeatable combo.

Great battery for my new Xray 808! perfect fit! you need this one if you are running high torque servos
