Anyone here had any dealings with this line of batteries?

What do you want to know about them?

I have a couple of them and many Turnigy lipos currently in service, in general.

I have owned many of them. Got them from Hobby King. Are you looking to increase endurance of your Mavic?

Yeah I've never run these before so I was just wanting to see how good they are.

Hobby King has been making Turnigy batteries for decades. Turnigys will never be as good as Maxamps or Reedys, but they serve their purpose. They are a discount battery, not as good quality or as reliable as DJI batteries, but again, they serve their purpose.

I have some Turnigys that are probably 10 years old and still pumping, but I always store them at 3.7v and maintain them..

Ok I may give some a try here in a few days then. Thanks for the info.

Are you getting them from a US distributor?

I've used Turnigy high discharge batteries of various sizes at state and world level competition and seen them used widely. As far as quality goes, I've had maybe 1 in 25 be less than expected, while my expectations for performance have often been exceeded.

People have different experiences with hobbyKing and with various brands, but personally at least, as an experienced and heavy user of these brands, I'm very satisfied.

I haven't used a Mavic-specific Turnigy battery before, though. Having trouble finding it - got a link? Cheers

They have a USA warehouse and a Chinese warehosue...

Shipping is pretty quick even from the Chinese office.

Yeah they have them in stock in the usa. I used to order all my Multistars from them.

Years ago, their batteries were half the price of all the rest. I very rarely got a bad one. But I only used them in my cheap planes.

 

[sprtbkrydr]

I always thought they were always a little heavier than the others. Heck I'll give them a try anyway.

Yes I forgot about that.

 

[cragv]

For what it's worth, the higher discharge lipos tend to be heavier than their lower rated counterparts of same capacity and voltage. Just my experience, at least.

Thanks, but I meant a link to whatever Mavic compatible lihv battery you're taking about.

That's the ones I'm talking about. You strap one to each side of your drone and fly away.

If I had a link to the actual battery instead of just to HobbyKing, I may be able to give you further insight. I can't do much just with smart comments though, I'm afraid!
