Typhoon H battery questions

[Roadstar30]

So I was looking at my batteries and the plastic part seems puffy
I am questing it time for some new ones!
question is which brand and best price
I don’t mind spending more as long as I get what I pay for!
thanks in advance!

The polymer layers in a cell are bring separated by out-gassing.
That lowers the amp hour capacity of that cell.
The result can be an unexpected voltage drop in flight. (Which is very bad).
A puffy battery is only good for bench testing & setup.
(Or maybe a spectacular Youtube video).

While that battery will work in the aircraft itself, it is 0.6V higher in voltage than the LiPo battery used by the H480. The charging terminals are also different and will not work on the OEM charger for the H480 or with the adapter cables for the H480 battery that are used with third party chargers. It is a LiHV battery pack and the full charge voltage is 0.15V higher per cell than with LiPo cells.

Good luck finding original batteries for the h. When I purchased mr. Chastain's "h" he had some ultrax (sp) and they are great but like all good things they lead us to the exit. It's all about money.

There are quite inexpensive conversion kits available now, and have been discussed in detail in the forum.
