Yes that's correct, the device itself is fine, just a bad batch of batteries, i just started this thread because 9 went bad at once, but i do have one that's working great :D, thanks to everybody for their input, it's really appreciated :thumb:

Maybe we have to make a thread for good batteries Womble. We have to search for good ones. Someone said that there is a forum about batteries so we have to look there too for some serious info.

Bristow, Ok.

Where is Mactavich? She has done so much research on batteries. Now she has had experience with them. Maybe she can shed a little light on at least where to find information. :)

Good idea but the thing i have found with batteries is the inconsistency with them, sometimes you get a good batch sometimes a bad batch etc

Plus we are in a niche market here that puts such a high demand on these batteries, especially when using a 510 atty, they draw so much power,don't forget these batteries were never intended for this use so it's a tricky one to get right.

However there are forums dedicated to batteries for the use on flashlights, rcc's and lasers so i will have a good dig around and post any findings :)

I have been using mainly 10430's since i got my GG Slim months ago. I have not replaced any of my 5 batteries since becouse ive been rotating them daily and not letting them drop too low in voltage. I also been using the 10440's but i only have 2 of them and so far they been fine and last a very good amount of time. I just wanted to post to let you know i feel that the 10430's are fine for the GG Slim and i would consider trying them as well if you already haven't. The Mah is less but its very hard to tell the difference. I been flying model airplanes and helicopters for many years and mainly use lipo's or lion's for power and love the fact that they use li-on batts for PV's.... Here is a video of my using 11.1V 2200mah 40c lipo on on of my model planes with flight camera installed over my neighborhood in NY.... I know it has nothing to do with this post but just thought you guys might like the view.. :) Check it out and enjoy :)

:DYes IMEO, It takes alot of time to learn the whole R/C hobby. I have many remote control planes/jets/boats/cars/heli's ect. So many it would take me a while to list... :) The spring and summer time i am out at the flying fields or working on and building new planes. From gas powered to electric lipo's, I love them all... I also have some night flying video here i made a light kit for my plane to see at night~ You may want to lower the volume a bit unless you dont mind some old school reggae hehe~ Enjoy!!

That was pretty cool man.... I bet that is fun to fly at night. I bet you could really freak someone out driving down the road to see that coming at them.

I dated a man that flew those Planes. I went out with him several times and it seemed to me like he wasted a lot of time and money. He always blamed the wind when he crashed.

xxxxxxxxxaaaaaaaaaaaa he was an amateur and he was trying to hide that he was !!!!!!

My wife is hardly intrested in my flying but she knows it keeps me out of trouble rather then going out and partying hehehe. IMEO, I only met the tree twice since ive been flying in the past few years and is was a mechanical error not a pilot error hehehe! I do have a F-16 that does about 120mph, and also a f-4 phantom. I hope this spring/summer i can make a video to show u all~
