The 1S 3.7V 300 mAh Turnigy Nano-Tech 45C LiPo batteries are designed for use with small scale RC helicopters such as Blade mCPX and other similar models such as WLtoys v922 or Turnigy FBL100 and others. These are intended for a direct replacement with higher capacity and a much higher discharge rates (at least in terms of written specs). The Turnigy brand from Hobby King usually comes at very attractive prices and very good ratings, though we are used to seeing the batteries actually not performing as good as their specs say they should, so our expectations here are to see lower discharge rates than advertised.
Official Battery Specifications:
– Capacity: 300mAh
– Voltage: 1S1P / 1 Cell / 3.7V
– Discharge: 45C Constant
– Discharge: 90C Burst
– Weight: 8g
– Dimensions: 44x6x17mm
– Discharge Plug: E-Flight Ultra Micro
We have started the tests with a 1C discharge rate (0.3A) for the 1S 3.7V 300 mAh Turnigy Nano-Tech 45C LiPo battery and we’ve managed to get 320 mAh as a maximum capacity, or a bit over the manufacturer rating for this battery or with other words a pleasant surprise for a start. Increasing the constant current load further to 5C, 10C, 15C and even 20C and the battery still manages to provide capacity close to its manufacturer rating. At 25C discharge it is still handing Ok and offers decent capacity, but at 30C we see that it is already too much for the battery to handle and the rating is 45C as a constant discharge rate for the battery. The actual rating for these batteries for constant current discharge should be more like 25C and not 45C, but the capacity at the real discharge rates that the battery can handle are quite good.
The performance of the 1S 3.7V 300 mAh Turnigy Nano-Tech 45C LiPo battery in our tests:
– 320 mAh at 0.3A load (1C)
– 300 mAh at 1.5A load (5C)
– 299 mAh at 3.0A load (10C)
– 292 mAh at 4.5A load (15C)
– 279 mAh at 6.0A load (20C)
– 193 mAh at 7.5A load (25C)
– 19 mAh at 9.0A load (30C)
The 1S 3.7V 160 mAh Turnigy Nano-tech 25-40C LiPo batteries are designed for use with small scale RC helicopters as a replacement batteries for the originals upplied with the compatible radio controlled model. The Turnigy brand by Hobby King (one of the largest online RC model stores) so far got us with mixed results when testing different batteries, for example LiPos often turn out to be with overrated specs than what they really can provide, but with the Turnigy AA/AAA NiMHs for example we got very good results. So let us see what this Turnigy Nano-tech LiPo battery can provide in our tests…
Official Battery Specifications:
– Capacity: 160 mAh
– Voltage: 1S1P / 1 Cell / 3.7V
– Discharge: 25C Constant / 40C Burst
– Weight: 4.3g (including plug & case)
– Dimensions: 39x7x11mm
– Discharge Plug: 2 Prong Align Style (Fits Align Trex 100)
We have started the tests with a 1C discharge rate (0.16A) for the 1S 3.7V 160 mAh Turnigy Nano-tech 25-40C LiPo battery and we’ve managed to get 158 mAh as a maximum capacity, or almost what the battery is rated by the manufacturer. The 2 mAh shorter than the rating of 160 mAh should not be much of a problem if the battery manages to meet its other specifications, especially considering the very good price. Up to about 15C discharge rate or 2.4A constant current load the battery seems to handle very well, then a bit of a hiccup at 20C, but still managing to provide decent capacity. And at 25C discharge rate – 4.0A constant current load the battery is no longer able to provide stable power for more than a moment before it reaches the cutoff voltage. So again we are a bit short from the manufacturer rating of the battery claiming 25C constant discharge as we can clearly see that the real rating should be more like 20C constant and 25C burst discharge instead of 25-40C.
The performance of the 1S 3.7V 160 mAh Turnigy Nano-tech 25-40C LiPo Battery in our tests:
– 158 mAh at 0.16A load (1.0C)
– 142 mAh at 0.8A load (5.0C)
– 138 mAh at 1.6A load (10.0C)
– 130 mAh at 2.4A load (15.0C)
– 111 mAh at 3.2A load (20.0C)
– 9 mAh at 4.0A load (25.0C)
1.2V AAA 900 mAh Turnigy LSD NiMH Battery Tests
11, Nov 2013
The 1.2V AAA 900 mAh Turnigy LSD NiMH batteries are Low Self Discharge NiMHs as the name suggests, meaning they do loose less of their useable capacity over time compared to traditional NiMH batteries. Turnigy is a brand of one of the largest online RC model stores, namely Hobby King, so these batteries are often used for radio controlled models – for powering transmitters, receivers and even smaller scale models. The price of the Turnigy LSD NiMH batteries is more attractive compared to other similar products, but what about their performance, we are going to find out exactly that now.
We have started the test of the 1.2V AAA 900 mAh Turnigy LSD NiMH batteries as we normally do with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A and getting 1068 mAh as a useable capacity is really a good result with significantly higher capacity than what the batteries are rated. In fact the performance of the 900 mAh Turnigy LSD is very close to the one provided by the 950 mAh Powerex Imedion LSD NiMH batteries that we’ve tested recently that also performed great. Increasing the load we test at and we still got great performance out of the Turnigy batteries, so they are great and affordable solution and the only problem is that you can only order these online from some of Hobby King’s warehouses in different countries.
The performance of the 1.2V AAA 900 mAh Turnigy LSD NiMH batteries in our tests:
– 1068 mAh at 0.1A load
– 988 mAh at 0.2A load
– 909 mAh at 0.5A load
– 836 mAh at 1.0A load
– 1.318 Wh at 0.1A load
– 1.203 Wh at 0.2A load
– 1.076 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.948 Wh at 1.0A load
