i think i just killed my second battery. my first one i didn't realise how touchy they were but this second one i tried not to run it too low. any one have a good site for a low voltage alarm for the blade cx. any good info on this would be great. thanks

First,, you need to know how many mAh you are taking out of your batteries.
The rule is never take out more then 80% of battery .
Like 1000mAh battery = 800mAh. You should never keep flying until you see your helicopter won't stay in the air!
Next,, buy a good battery charger! One with a lcd screen that will show you,, how much mAh your are putting back into your batteries after flying.
If your have to put back more then 80% of pack capacity , you need to stop flying sooner . Next buy only good batteries! Like Thunder power they cost ,, yes but they have a very good C rating! Next buy more then one battery. I run 5 Thunder power 2100 pro lite's for my 450 Trex.

I have an eagle 50 witha 9.6v 650 mah battery what battery can I replace it with to get more flying time. The Eagle 50 is by Exceed and is equal to the Walkera H22E with more stable electronics.

Thx for the info, I have 3 stock lipo batteries for the BCX and they give me maybe 5 minutes flying each, I don't have all that fancy charger stuff but I guess I better get one, and the batteries you mentioned, 'cuz these batteries are a waste of good money.
Thx again,
Blue

I am fairly new to the LiPo batteries, but if I wanted to upgrade my batteries in my BCX what should I consider... I know higher mAh means longer run times (basically), but what about voltage. I am currently running the stock battery... It is 7.4V and 800mAh. Would something in the 9V range do damage to the 4-n-1? It seems the higher the mAh, the higher the voltage...

Is there even a larger battery (something in the 1100 mAh area) that would fit in the compartment?
