I know that people start swapping HC LiPo for ZIPPY 1300mAh. All you have to do is to peel that stands inside back cover. Ill try to find photos later. (perfect fit)

BTW. No issues with ZIPPY so far (I have 1000mAh in BOXER) and I have strange feeling that ZIPPY 1000mAh > hcigar ''1300mAh'' ;)

Just purchased a new vt200 today. Looking forward to recieving it soon. Was looking for an authentic silicone sleeve here in the U.S.... anyone get one lately. Course don't know if hcigar made any. Ordered one from sweetvapes for $6.00 but I'm thinking I could do better elsewhere. Any sugestions would be appreciative. Thanks

EBay you say. Damn, been waiting for an order still after a 4weeks with eBay. I guess i'll check it out. Was hopeing to get one from a US supplier in a couple days. There's no one in the US that has good ones? Bummer. But thanks. I do appreciate your time.

Kraze,
I am glad you posted you shipping estimate.
The folks on eBay are so hot to keep the ratings high that I have NEVER had any delays ordering on eBay. But I don't order out of the country on eBay. Heck I have a hard time dealing with Fasttech shipping but never with a USA supplier on eBay.

Thanks for your help. $9.00 seems cheap in my opinion if it looks good.. Also wanted to mention mine will have the ss 510.
If anyone was interested.. Thanks again

I been rocking the brass version since September 18th and have had no problems at all. And I have been pulling my velocity cap on and off like crazy. Not a single thread has even a burr. I had 2 but I sold one to a friend so Mayne I will grab another one day. I got a couple different dna 200 mods right now and I'm waiting on a chip to build an alpine tech box.
You will like the covers on ebay. They are different from the one cimon posted. They have a nice vt200 badge.

I had mentioned during my second week here that my so called brass threads came apart with the vt40.I posted that back around june and contacted P. busardo... So I was a little nervous for the guys when I first heard of another brass 510.Thanks again and have a good night.

That looks awesome and looking at the dimensions it looks like it 'should' fit- has anyone actually tried to fix a 'genuine' 1300mah other brand LiPo into the VT200?

I read somewhere that this battery (as well as others) needs to have the connectors swapped out. Something about this battery having an XT60 connector and the vt200 using an XT30 connector. Not sure how one would go about doing that if that's at all true.

Basic soldering skills are needed.

No I am not, but others in the thread may. The only battery I am aware of that is a direct replacement is the one Hcigar sells but that is advertised as 1300mah but is essentially a 1000mah to 1100mah battery.

XT30 connectors are available at hobby king. The soldering is not difficult but must be done working with only one wire at a time for safety.
