Fusion-pack Lipo review

[hoppie]

Hey mate,

Pass a pack to me to try out on my Extremeflightrc 58 incher? I currently own Hyperion and FP packs. would be good to be able to do a comparison.

So far I am happier with the Hyperion 3700 5s 25c than FP 3700 25c. Seems to run cooler and hold better consistent power.

Heh Edmund, you fly oni 5s 3700? how many grams is that huh?

5s1P 3300 is 401grams
5s1p 4200 is 495grams

5s1p 4200 is 495grams

i think the 4200 will be fine. A bit windy nowdays, need some ballast keke.

U should see how edmond flies his plane man! He sure is a good person to try out the 5s! Haha..

Completed 13 cycles in 3 weeks on my ME262. So far no bloating. Pack is only slightly warm after flight despite high speed loops and rolls for a standard 5-6 mins flight. I put back an average of 1700mah to 1800mah after each flight. Cells are pretty matched so I only did balancing charge once a week. Like what Louis has mentioned, at full speed, the only worry I have is if my fans can take the push. Power is there definitely during ROG. What left's to be tested is endurance of the battery pack. It should maintain the same punch at ROG and climb for my next 20 cycles flight.

Yo Bro! How's everything? Long time never fly with you liao haha.......busy renovating my new house so dint go PFW that often laio

Is the Fusion still ok? How many cycles liao? I try to drop by fly with you this coming weekend.

Review from RCgroups

Got this from RCGroups, thought might wanna share with people who are interested:

Having already been impressed with the fusion packs, I recently purchased 2 of the new 30c 2200's. These batteries preform the best of all my batteries of which there are many.

I decided to compare the output of all the simalar packs I had. The picture shows the batteries that were used. All were purchased new by me in the last year except the prolite & fp evo which were purchased here. The prolite was new, the evo had low cycles I forget exactly.

This may not be the most sophisticated test but it is impressive. The voltage and balance was checked before the test with a cellmeter 8. The batteries had all been charged the previous day. The temp was approx 70 deg f. All the static power numbers were taken from a whatts up ver 2.1. The motor is a scorp 3020-14 with a dynam 45 opto esc, prop 13 x 6.5 thin elec. Here's the results.

battery-----------voltage----balance----watts---amps----volt min----cyc

tp prol 15c 2100----12.52------.009v------457-----44.26----10.29-------5

fp evo 25c 2170----12.49------.009v------389-----39.98-----9.65------30

myst 15c 2200------12.50------.010v-----260-----26.92------9.69------10



Im sold on these batteries, from what I've seen with the 6 pack's I've had these are outpreforming much more expensive ones. The mystery ones (it's a mystery why I bought them) are worthless they were new, had never had connectors on them but maybee they're old. They couldnt keep the motor running even though the min voltage was 9.69 the lvc cut and stopped it. I was surprised the tp prolite held up so well, but the extreme is dissapointing.

The price is right for the fusion packs too.
