HOOVO3S Lipo Battery 11.1V 6500mAh 120C Hard Case with Deans T Plug for RC Vehicles, RC Car Truck, RC Quadcopter, Helicopter, RC Boat, DJI Airplane, LOSI Associated Racing Hobby (2 Packs)

People love to hate on every lipo and go nuts with charts/spreadsheets and talk about it ad Infinium. I have a bunch of Hoovo batteries and they are all stout. Had these in a V3 Granite and started getting LVC issues in a V4 but it's the new ESC that's the problem, only the 'best' batteries and Spektrum can cheat just enough to make it work, kind of a disaster. Dumped that junk for a BL120 WP G2 and zero issues since(stock motor is actually quite good without that 2-in-1 trash). Temps went down, got full Mah, went from zero to hero getting rid of that setup. Be weary of the new 223S series ESC. Of course in all my TRX stuff stock ESC or otherwise zero issues. A couple I've had for over a decade I can feel any difference in batteries or mechanical issues in seconds. Need to get a new drop tray to fit these in the TRX4 so I can go for miles...They are big and heavy though and the Arrma stuff is already heavy and hard on batteries. I'd probably recommend the 6200 as the best balance of weight/capacity for those. For much lighter TRX stuff, these run for a long, long time in a typical 3S VXL rig. 7200 is good for 'I just have one battery in a Stampede in the trunk and I found this place on the way to grandma's lets go!'. In a 2BLS I don't think I'd have enough personal time to try to run a 7200 out... Go 5200 on those(5200 is usually more than fine for most 3S VXL's too). It's a bruiser weight battery, but it has it's moments. Probably good too in a 3S boat. 7200 is good for one car/one battery/and a 'maybe' trip. Or if your kid had a few friends over and you send them out with a 2S rustler to play.I have 20+ Hoovo's, 2S/3S/4S, shorties, etc-all are stout none have died. Are they for racing? No, but best value to get a decent brick in an RTR for sure. Hater's are gonna hate...

Batteries work as they should, use them in my crawlers for hours of run time

Batteries have definitely preformed well.

I don't write many reviews but felt compelled to write this one. I have tried out a few other battery brands to try and save money but just didn't get what I was paying for. I pulled the trigger on these ones, prepared for the worst and hoping for the best, and was pleasantly surprised.I've ran and tested both batteries now and I got two good ones. I have 4 cycles in on one and 3 on the other so far. My Senton is flying with these batteries attached. I don't know about longevity on these but if I can get at least 50-60 cycles out of each then it was worth it.Will be purchasing more.TLDR: Yes, buy them.

A little over a month in and one of the batteries hard case came open. The battery will not charge correctly now. The other one is still fine.Edit: changed to a 4 star as they gave me a 50%off code to buy another set of 2 or offered me a 50% refund. Great customer service.

This 7200mAh battery perfectly fits the 1/10 Arrma Granite BLX 3S, and features the stock EC5 connector. It lasts over 30 minutes of hard driving, and I have even had it last 45 minutes of continuous mixed terrain driving. I was only getting 15-20 minutes run time from a 5200mAh cell, so this provided a noticeable improvement. Although this is not a cheap battery, it is a fair price point, it seems well made, and it's worth the premium over the 5200mAh options. I appreciate the hard case packaging, as I noticed the other soft case batteries I have were getting dented during crashes. I highly recommend this for other 3s BLX Arrma's, or similar RC trucks that it will fit in.

This battery only lasted seven full cycles before one of the balance plugs failed. Now I can only read 2 out of the 3 cells, and it’s no longer possible to charge it safely or effectively. Extremely disappointing lifespan for the price. I expected better reliability—would not recommend based on this experience.

Best batteries out there.
