Spektrum 11.1V 850mAh 3S 30C Smart G2 LiPo Battery: IC2, SPMX8503S30

It does exactly what it's intended to do unlike it's predecessor the 600mah. Consistent flight times with my planes. Voltage balance upon throttle back. Works like a charm and would buy more!!

I have not installed into plane yet as I have not had time to fly it. Shipping was fast and item description was exact

Being a Smart battery, this has lots of great features. I'm known for flying faster and longer than most at my field and I credited these Smart batteries for part of that.

Let me be clear: This battery is a good at being a battery. However, it is the most inconvenient thing ever made as batteries go.This battery is made as far as I can tell, for only 1 thing - the Blade 230s helicopter. Because the balance cable is integrated into the main connector, It can only be charged by a spektrum charger. It can only be hooked to the charger through an IC3/IC2 adapter cable. So if you have banana plug to EC2 like I do for all your 1/18th or 1/16th scale batteries... forget it. Even if you aren't a religious balance charger like myself, the EC2 connector is not compatible with the IC2, unlike the larger variations. Unlike other batteries, you can't change the connector to match it to your other models. So if you've already invested in a nice dual bank charger for your dozens of batteries for airplanes, boats, car/trucks, and now you have this one for a helicopter... you have to buy the $30 battery, the $8 adapter, and at a minimum, a $25 USB charger that won't power on with a fast wall charger for a cellphone/VR headset.BTW, it wasn't that long ago that the B6AC Charger was only $32, and it can balance charge 2s-6s at up to 7A with whatever banana plug adapters you could get your hands on, not to mention safe full discharge, storage discharge, and all the battery tests you could do on numerous types of batteries.So your now $63 into a 850mAh 3s battery, adapter, and charger... no part of which is cross compatible with anything you else you have, and you're charging slower than snot. Another battery, $93 in.So if you happen to find yourself with a Blade 230s, do yourself a favor, and clip that stupid IC2 connector off immediately and swap to a deans plug. Zippy, Urgenex, Gens Ace, Hoovo, Tattu, damn near everyone with the exception of Zeee (shockingly) makes a like sized battery for this helicopter. Surely you could buy half a dozen of them for the $93 you'd pay for 2 of the spektrum 850s. Avoid this thing like the plague.

The absence of a balance lead is inconvenient in that it can only be charged on a spektrum smart charger. But, it is meant for smaller models were weight and space are critical. It’s data wire can provide telemetry data to your computerized transmitter (I love my NX6).If your flying model has the small data wire you can scroll on your transmitter and see inflight esc and battery info.My A10 doesn’t have that wire and I can only see receiver data.My blade 230s smart has it and I can see battery voltage, individual cell voltages, engine rpms and all sorts of data all while in flight.

I don't fly 3D. Expensive proprietary battery but it works.

Once I got the hang of the “charger” there’s really nothing to it. Runs great in my 230S Blade.

Sucks you have to buy these batteries at twice what they are worth. Transmitter prices are insane. A $200 radio master tx is more capable then a $1200 spektrum tx. Get out of their ecosystem asap. Now for the overpriced batteries. They work. I get around 10 mins flight time in safe with a Blade 230s smart.

the batterys are used for a blade infusion helicopter
