Gens Ace Battery Sale

[SkyVidTek]

If anyone is looking for great batteries for their H920/H920+, Tower Hobby is having a sale. I am using these in my H920+ and they are the best I have found to replace the inadequate stock batteries. Only need to change out the connectors.

Mounted in pairs in the tight battery box of the 920/920+, those were the best I could find for dimensions and output, and are very stable. As has been mentioned, you need to, carefully, change the connector to EC3 from EC5 and make a slight shave of the battery box lower edge for clearance of the leads. (If requested I can post pics of my mods)

There are other batteries which may fit and have good output, but at the time I did my research - about 2 years ago, I chose these: www.genstattu.com/gens-ace-5000mah-22-2v-60c-6s1p-lipo-battery-pack-with-ec5-plug.html

About 2 years ago others had found Zippy compact 6S, 25C, 5000mA to be a good, reasonably priced alternative, but they are now discontinued.

Tornado 920 plus/ zippy 5000mah batteries

Wanted to get the Zippys (for price) but out of stock....These also fit in the compartment as a PAIR, - are there good batteries that will fit in the 920 (without mods) as a group of 3? ...

The 920 battery issue subject is well covered in this thread, as well my posted photos of the Gens Ace battery installation. In the photo #1876, of my installed batteries you can see I did some grinding/shaving of the rails at the lower outer edge of the box to give more clearance for the thick battery leads.

I know this is late, but I use ec5 to ec3 adapters for the Gen Ace batteries. I have a problem closing the battery door, but the door doesn't really hold the batteries in anyway.
