List of Battery Sizes

Hobby King

I am looking for a list of batter sizes with the same voltage but different capacities.

Is there a reason not to increase the Mah capacity of a LiPo battery assuming that the voltage is the same and that the relative size and weight are close to each other?

I would like to take my 7.4v 1000Mah battery to 1500 or 1800 to extend my flight time. What I can't seem to find/determine is the size and weight of a larger battery.

I have increased the Mah on a couple of my mini Helis' and not had problems (with one exception). The results were as expected. I had to learn to deal with the weight and balance issues but did get additional flight times.

As I have gone to larger machines the issue is becoming more of a challenge. Mostly it is resolving the size issues.

Can anyone offer a site where I can find a list of battery sizes for the incredible array of LiPo batteries?

Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Regards,

Lipo battery demensions
by: RcFlyGuy@rocketmail.com

Typically batteries are the same size, but the important number you need is the DISCHARGE rating, usually measured in current.

For example a battery will have a 20C 15C 10C etc. rating.

I bought a battery that is 11.1V 1800Mah but it was longer than what I had. I found out that this particular lipo pack that I bought a higher "C" rating.

I would recommend calling any company that sells lipo packs and ask for a list of battery sizes. They usually have no problems giving this info.

Take a look at Hobby King

I've had really good luck buying batteries from Hobby King. They are much cheaper and I have personally had better life out of them than the expensive Eflite's etc.

If you buy from them, you get the best value if you buy several at a time due to the shipping costs. They also take a couples weeks to arrive.

Anyway, they have a very nice battery comparison program for their batteries. It shows weight and dimensions. Might want to check it out. Plenty of lipo's to choose from of all sizes!
