4S 14.8V 650mAh High Performance LiPo Battery

Perfect for SSP Pro and Low Power Beetles 

Note: These batteries are labeled 550mAh, but the tested capacity is over 650mAh. They are a higher capacity and larger/heavier than the first samples we received, sorry for the confusion!

This small 4S LiPo is the perfect size for SSP Pro kits, and other low-mid power beetleweight bots. At just 82 grams (2.89 oz) and a tested and verified capacity of at least 650mAh, this battery can power an SSP kit with dual Blitz Lite drive motors and a servo weapon arm for over 10 minutes of aggressive driving per charge, and should last 3 minutes with the Vertical Spinner module as well with a bit of throttle control.

We’ve tested over a dozen different brands of batteries and determined this one is top of the line, delivering more capacity than labeled and capable of a very high burst discharge of over 50 amps. Most battery C ratings are misleading, but this one truly delivers 80C+ bursts. CAD Model soon! 

WARNING:
LiPo batteries can catch fire if misused. If handled correctly they are perfectly safe to use, but care MUST be taken to avoid a fire hazard.

Run Time

How Much Capacity Do You Really Need?

This is a very hard question to answer. The current rating of motors and ESCs doesn’t give you any real information about continuous power draw. You pretty much have to either use examples for similar bots or measure real-world power draw of your bot with a power meter such as the WM150 we use for internal testing.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Charge the battery with a proper LiPo balance charger only.
2. Inspect for damage or puffiness before charging or using. Safely dispose of if there is excessive puffiness or visible damage.
3. Do not short-circuit the battery. This means connecting it directly to itself. Be very careful to inspect your wiring for shorts before connecting the battery.
4. Do not charge any LiPo unattended.
5. Do not charge the battery while it is inside your robot. It’s always safest to charge inside a LiPo Safe bag.
6. Do not overcharge or over-discharge. This battery should be charged to 4.2V/cell (16.8V) and discharged no lower than 3.3V/cell (13.2V).
7. Do not overheat the battery. If your battery seems warm to the touch after a fight, wait for it to cool before charging or using it again.
