Cheap LiPo Batteries on eBay

February 11, 2009 on 7:18 pm | In Battery |

I was pretty skeptical about some of these really cheap LiPo batteries available on eBay that ship directly from China, but so far I’ve been very pleased. the 11.1v 25c 2200mah batteries that I use for my T-Rex 450 are about $75 at local hobbly shops and online, but the same battery can be had for about $20 (shipped) from eBay sellers shipping directly from overseas.

So far I’ve had no problems with charging or output or consistency with these batteries. It makes sense that manufacturers in China can sell for much less since these are likely the same batteries that get re-branded and redistributed here in the U.S. Just thought I’d share that insight, and if anyone has had bad experiences with these cheap LiPo’s, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts.
