I got mine from hobbyking and I think @windows and VapingBad did aswell.. The postage is the worst thing with them.

I recycle my racing ones, but at £40 each they aren't on the cheap side of things.

hey guys had a look at site and there one on the @windows site looks good close to evole specs just higher mah ..which is great (as i wanted over 3000mah total as that what i using in 18650 batterys atm)
www.componentshop.co.uk/11-1v-1300mah-25c-continuous-discharge-lipo-battery-giant-power.html

im strugling to find one on the hobbyking site with right specs as can only find 45 burst ..the one from evolve
www.evolvapor.com/dna200.php

is 60c burst


is the burst important as i see several have bought from hobby king ?

cheers russ

I wouldn't bother looking at the burst, it the continuous you want. So you need to have a minimum of 23amps, to work this out you take your mah x c rating / 1000
For your battery posted above
1300 x 25 / 1000 = 32.5 amps continuos .

cheers i was just thinking stopping as close as specs of the evolve battery would give better results just needed a bit more capicity.basiclly i just need something thatll last all day saw the evolve test one and apart from being dear thought a good size but might not last allday so then was looking for same specs but higher capicaty.trying to play safe and use close to their test model ...
so im ok wth any lipo 3s above 23a continuous,dont worry about burst ,and find a higher capacity to last ? is that right ....bit complicated these lipo batteries easy to get confused
atm i do seem like first one listed but is that overkill ?,...looking at these down to the width/depth size 18mm approx by 30mm approx that will allow to fit sqounk in without being to big ,as lot of the lipos are thinner and wider ,the 30 mm would be ideal ..to be fair the size of the evolve one is brillant ..just dont know if it would last the day

thanks for help

Yes that's fine, anything above 23amps is also fine.

Guys I hope you don't mind me attaching my query to this thread as this is also about lipo batteries.

Would I be ok to use this one?
www.componentshop.co.uk/3-7v-4000mah-25c-continuous-discharge-lipo-battery-jst-connector.html

If I done the calculations correctly as mentioned above by gm111 I would have 100a continous with this battery? I know this sounds like overkill but since I want to start my journey at some point in making my own mod I was wondering if that one would be ok? I would just love a battery that has more life then reasonableish but as I am still on research stage just trying to get my info right on those...

I know how to solder and I am sure I can make my own mod safely just the lipo batteries that are getting me at the moment...

Over 250amp continuous and fits a B box

That's going in my next box mod

You can't use this as its only a 1cell battery, it has to be 3 cells.. Well you can use 2cell but it limits the watts to 133.. Hope this helps

This will limit the mod too 133w just incase you didn't know.

I am happy to have my own mod not going over 100W as I don't feel I need that kind of power... At the minute. 
Especially that my road to my own box mod is still long and a bit twisty as need to research a bit more
But that helps a lot to be fair.

Which 3 cell battery would you recommend with similar mah rating if you don't mind me asking?
