Since this LiPo thread is already here I might as well ask instead of starting a new thread. My long run plan for my 600 is to buy the best 5000mah 6S batteries I can afford, but just to get up and running for small things like blade tracking and small test hops, what would be the lowest reasonable mah and C rating you guys would suggest? Keep in mind the battery is not going to see and real flying, 2-3 minute hovers at the most. If thats the case, personally I really don't think it matters...you can probably go as low as you want provided that the cell counts are correct for the motor/esc requirements and you should be fine. For example, your 600 would normally use a 6s so make sure the lipo you pick is a 6s/22.2v but as far as the "mah or c rating" it can be whatever. Just keep in mind the lower the "mah" the less run time you'll have. Here is a link for some good reading on lipo ratings.... www.backwoodsrc.com/apps/forums/topics/show/3135120-lipo-rc-battery-ratings?page=lastI am literally only thinking 2 minutes max in a hover for blade tracking, or powering up the heli to bench test the electronics. My thinking is that I could use a cheap battery in these conditions and save wear and tear on the good batteries. So it looks like I am safe in my thinking, as long as I don't get stupid and try actually fly on the cheap battery. That would vbe so bad, get spun up and some hight and have the battery go flat once you got there

Just wanted to share that my zippy pack arrived in 3 days from HK USA and all cells are perfectly balanced, I'm a happy camper.
