Batteries for APVs

[nickreese90]

I know everyone is biased to the 18000 model batteries, but what about RC batteries? I saw a video online of a guy building a DIY APV and he used 2 RC Plane flat batteries instead of the normal 18650 batteries because he wanted a more compact, but still powerful APV. Any suggestions on this? Here is the batteries I was looking at, if not safe, I don't want to buy them and I will need a new Hammonds case. 2pcs x 3 7V 1200mAh 25c LiPo Battery for RC Double Horse 9074 9051 9009 New | eBay

First off, don't buy batts from ebay. Second, I don't trust LiPo batts for APV's. LiPo's can be pretty violent if entered into thermal runaway.

LOL, I had to laugh at the logo on the picture. Very fitting. If your going to use these kinda of batterys, Buy a test rig, something you can't dump very quickly is asking for trouble.

Tit for Tat. 18650 are also dangerous. this is a known risk using any high drain battery's in a really confined space. Personally I'm not for anything that isn't quickly disconectable.

Many of the box mods with non removable batteries use lipo packs.

In the modding section you can see many members using them in home brew kits.

So no big deal really as long as you use the correct one, and know what your doing with it.

But I do agree on eBay, way too many hoodwinks concerning even 1800 batteries

I agree with you, but I'll take an 18650 over a LiPo any day of the week.

I assume thats for plug and play? Plug in your mod, charge it up, and off you go?

I would imagine, that and some of the packs have pretty big capacities
