GForce 5C 700mAh 2S 6.6V LiFe RX Pack

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on October 21, 2014):

These compact batteries charge rapidly (although I tend to use 1c after flying), hold their charge and improve servo response over the much heavier NiCd/NiMh 4.8v packs. By switching from standard 4.8v NiMh packs to this smaller 700mAh pack I saved 75g! I still get 5 x 9min flights on my 25 size Easy Stick (see review) with 2 flights safety margin.

I also feel more confident that he 6.6v voltage (even with higher loads) will help prevent "brownouts" that can occur in 2.4gHz systems under load with a 4.8v pack.

Only downside is that like all LIFe packs, voltage isn't a good indicator of available power. Use, recharge and see mAh input to estimate average mAH use/capacity.

Happy landings.
