Has anyone looked at the Venom Fly 5000 mah batteries? These are 22.2V LiPo 62, 111.0 wh.
The Yuneec OEM batteries are 1.77"H X 1.10"W X 6.7L. The Venom batteries are smaller in two dimensions (1.7" X 1.9" X 5.9"). They are available with EC-3 connectors. They are rated at 50C. $149.00.

I’ll pass. Three of those versus two dimensionally larger batteries at $70.00 each pencils out better for me, even if the three Venom’s provide 3-5 minutes more flight time.
Interesting I have not seen those before despite searching high and low for suitable batteries. The ones I see are 30C which are more than adequate, sadly not available in the UK at least https://www.amazon.co.uk/Venom-5000mAh-Battery-Compare-EFLB50006S30/dp/B017MOTQVK
I'm not sure if people are aware, been on the phone to Yuneec in the UK and they have put me in the direction of...

I came across these whilst searching for alternative batteries but discounted them as even their own website doesn't appear to list basic specifications like dimensions or weight. At least I could not find them so I moved on and have bought from Overlander.
Seeing as Yuneec UK recommend them then I guess they must fit

Xt-90 to EC-3 adapter. Keep the wires between the two plugs short else their bulk will prevent door closure. If you’re careful you can just use EC-3 plugs at the battery wires but to do that requires tinning the wires and reducing their diameter a little to fit into an EC-3 terminal. If you go that route do one wire at a time, start to finish, before exposing any of the second wire. You are in effect playing with a live bomb if you have both wires exposed at the same time. Shorting one of these batteries is extremely dangerous.
Thanks. PatR So I went the ec3 route man is that difficult seems to have come out with good connections but I do think the adapter is safer where did you buy your adapters
Ill have to order a nice soldering station before I do another set. What size wire did you use to make your adapters

The connectors were ordered through Amazon. I usually buy in bulk so pick the source that is showing the quantity you think you might eventually use. For wire I always use multi-strand silicone wire. 12awg for this application.
The soldering station is a good idea. I don’t have one and use a couple different irons to get things done. An adjustable station would simplify things.

I found this soldering station in usa they have 3 yr labor and material warranty in house repair department it's from China but for the price it's a win

As so many things are manufactured in China to be sold under a different brand name elsewhere I don’t think where it comes from matters as much as the quality of the tool
