Subject: 1800 3s pack performing like a champ
Hey Bob,
The 1800 3s pack is the probably the best suited pack for the stella, it
fits perfectly in the battery bay and only comes down warm after a very hard
on the throttle 20 minute flight. It is the perfect size and weight with
great flight times. I absolutely love this pack, it feels real strong
as well.
Have a look at this thread on the stella, and you bet the 1800's are
powering it.

Hello all,
Just a quick one to let all the fellow electric flyers know that I have made one of the biggest
performance related discovery's since I have being flying My 3D foamies.
These batteries are also being used exclusively by Chris Callow (Twice World F3D champion) and I
believe Gavin Broadbent (Qld F3A champ) has just grabbed some and is very impressed.
www.rclithiumpower.com
The guy's name is Lithium Bob form RC Lithium Power.Com... a Brisbane based company that
specialises only in lithium cells. Bob made a pack up for my foamy and (3s2p) from the 830mah Hi-output
cells he has and my foamy suddenly had all this new found power.....
The way he does it is his cells perform a lot better under load than all the other cells made
avail to us in Australia, So when we are pulling approx 12a at full throttle in a foamy His
batteries are hardly working and the battery voltage is up around 11v under load in a 3s circumstance
where the other packs I was using drop below 9v!! You can imagine the difference 2v (20%) would make
under load.
After thrashing about for 20 mins continuously the pack comes out of the plane luke warm and
only generally takes 1000mah, considering its a 1660mah pack that isn't bad.... actually its bloody
Great!
Check out the Discharge graph on his site.
He also sells a lot of 3s1p (3 cell) packs in the 830mah size for the smaller foamies and
parkflyers and I reckon the 2s1p (2cell) packs will be a hit in everyone's Shockies and such.
He is very reasonably priced and gets the orders out quick which we all like :-)
Bob is easy to deal with you can call him on 0410 477 195 or deal with him over the net via his
site.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :-)
Chris Graham.
