Hyperion LiPo cells have earned a good name amongst electric fliers. Bob Hickman has reviewed them in his Airborne columns and spoken enthusiatically about them. They measure up - in performance, durability and incorporating the latest developments in LiPo technology.
The latest release of Hyperion LiPo cells are called Litestorm or LVZ series. The South Korean manufacturers claim 30C continuous, with 50C bursts for 20 seconds, from these cells - that means that you can draw amp rates of up to 50 times the capacity of the cells (eg.1200 mAh cells can deliver up to 60A for 20 seconds). That makes these cells just right for the new Electric Glider rules - with a hot motor you can draw up to 160A, for example, out of a 3200 mAh pack. But there is more - and it is not steak knives - these packs come with a balancing plug that is compatible with the Hyperion LBA10 balancer - buy these packs, and the matching active balancer, and you will have no more headaches with mismatching plugs. Couple all that to the fact that these packs are smaller and lighter than most, and less expensive, and they present as a compelling range of LiPo batteries. In the chart, the number in the cell type column indicates the mAh capacity of the pack. The Series column indicates 2S (7.4V), 3S (11.1V), 4S (14.8V), 5S (18.5V). |
