Lithium Polymer Batteries & Product Announcements & Thunder Power RC News July 16, 2008
Including one of the best batteries to date for Blade® 400, T-REX 450 and other mini-class helis
Thunder Power Pro Lite series LiPo batteries have been the standard by which all ‘lite’ weight, high-performance LiPo batteries have been measured since 2005. Often imitated but never duplicated, Pro Lite series batteries still offer the highest energy density (capacity and power per weight) in the RC LiPo battery market today. They’re also the industry’s best-selling and most reliable series of LiPo batteries ever.
The all-new 2600mAh Pro Lite V2 series batteries offer the same great benefits of current Pro Lite series batteries–including the most capacity, at the lowest weight and in the smallest size possible–but are the first to feature the new V2 chemistry. This chemistry offers increased discharge rate capability, as well as higher voltage under typical and heavy loads. The extremely low resistance of the V2 chemistry allows the 2600mAh batteries to deliver more power than most 2000-2200mAh 25C+ discharge capable batteries, but with 20-30% more useable capacity at nearly the same weight.
For example, the weight and dimensions of the new 2600mAh 3S 11.1V Pro Lite V2 battery (THP26003SPL2) are almost exactly the same as the ever-popular 2200mAh 3S 11.1V eXtreme V2 battery, yet the 2600mAh battery typically offers similar or more power and more flight duration in the same application. Flight tests by extreme 3D heli pilots have also proven that THP26003SPL2 is now one of the best batteries of choice for maximum power, performance and duration in E-flite® Blade 400, Align T-REX 450 and other mini-class helicopter models! The performance surpasses that of the most popular batteries used for these models today, and it’s available at a price that offers incredible value.
You can see the amazing performance of the 2600mAh Pro Lite V2 battery in the discharge curve below. The ability to deliver more than 95% of the rated capacity at discharge rates up to 18C is no ordinary feat, and makes it unlike any other battery ever available in its class before.
Available in configurations from 2S 7.4V to 6S 22.2V, 2600mAh Pro Lite V2 batteries are perfectly suited for small to mid-size, 450- to 15-size airplane models, and mini to mid-size helicopter models. They’re a great replacement for 1800-2200mAh batteries when added flight duration, with little to no expense of added weight, is desired. And with prices similar to or less than other products in their class, the new 2600mAh Pro Lite V2 batteries will further establish the Pro Lite series as not only the technology and performance leader, but also as the leader in value too!
