These LiPo's seem like they are well suited for a DIY pack

At 10ah and the dimesnions listed seems like a attractive option for a compact higher voltage Xs 1p 10ah configuration.

Anyone have opinions or experences they would care to share?

Lipo are 3,7V nominal per cell...

 

[neptronix]

Depends on the chemistry, for example hobbyking lipo are more like 3.85v nominal in reality..
The seller probably has no clue.

These are interesting but probably only a few C; low performance, long life lipo.
Expect them to be 2C cells. Yes... 1C and 2C lipo does exist.

And of course there's nothing wrong with a good sized battery pack that only does 2C and only pushes you back and forth to work and 30mph either.

If you are considering getting into these: do your self a favor and go find Cell-man's threads about how he struggled with doing terminations for that physical format, a lot of good discussion and trial and error as I recall.

relevant post on candle power forum. Seller has had these for a year! pictures inside.
He said he has a pallet of 1000!

Maybe someone can make a low ball offer on one to see their pricing, and then test them for us?

If you guys are seriously interested in these, i can buy two and test them with a CBA and/or iCharger.

Let me see some hands.

I saw on that candlepower forums that the seller was looking for a tester. Good find auraslip.
Contacted..

I don't see why a turnigy/zippy pack style of termination wouldn't work. Circuit board material can be cut to do it.
Maybe i could buy the crate and sell my own neptronigy brand lipo.

Find out how many they have left! Might not be worth our time if he only has 100 of them.
