Lithium Battery Help?

I have recently gotten started in the hobby with helicopters. I have a Piccolo by Ikarus. I could not afford to go direct to nitro, although I wanted to. Plus indoor flight is pretty cool (ill say that until i break something)... I was wondering if there are any recommendations for batteries that offer a longer run time and quick recharge? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

hope your starting out with a FP not the pro to start
the FP (fixed pitch) is so durable it's meant to pop apart in a crash

all i run is li-poly 2 or 3 cell packs
i run the moth with an Orion motor on 2 cell 600Mah Etecs
about an 8 minute flight
all the rest on 3 cell Etecs 1200mah
about 15-20 minute flight
Kokams work the same here is where i got mine

Li-poly's = Rock-N-Roll
just beware
Don't Overcharge them or Short circuit them



keep it in the air

Hi RpiRotor,
For longer flight time and quick recharge, you can try out our OEM LiPo 11.1V 2200mA. Check it out: http://www.rcbestseller.com/lipo-2200mA.html
