Battery purchase

mamba1242 · Apr 11, 2020

Hi Guys,

I have Eachine wizard x220s. And my battery start melting. So as I am from Slovenia, I can't purchase only battery from China, I have to purchase it from Europe. Does anybody know a good store, Hobby king maybe? Also current battery is this one: Eachine Wizard X220S FPV Racer RC Drone Spare Part 4S 14.8V 1500mAh 75C Battery XT60 RC Parts from Toys Hobbies and Robot on banggood.com

Do I need 75C battery like original? as I checked, most of them are 45C or lower.

Thank you

No, do not buy a 45c battery for that quad. You want at least a 70c and preferably higher.
You will have little punch from 45c.
Hmmmm, too late you ordered them both.
The 1300 75c will be fine but you will not get quite as much run time. Marginally though. I believe that quad is rated to a 5s battery so you could also invest in a few of those in the future.
I would return the 45c if you can.
Not from Europe so I don't know of shops you can buy from.

Where did you buy your quad? Can you buy batteries from there?

Also, what exactly do you mean by battery start melting? That does not sound good.

Hi Wayno,

Thanks for all you explanation. I bought the drone on banggood but they don't ship only batteries to our country because of security reasons.

Hobbyking have warehouse in EU so I can order there and prices are ok as I see.

The second battery you said it is not ok have Discharge: 45C Constant / 90C Burst so which of those data is important for punch?

About melting I mean that acid inside start boiling because battery got to hot after flying. It was so hot I could't even touch it.
I was looking to purchase a 5S or 4S with more mAh but it is a lot heavier so don't know what it would be better.

Ok so buying batteries could be an issue where you are. As you can see on your 75c battery constant burst is 75c and peak is 150c. The max burst on the 45c is 90c.
what kind of flying do you do? Are you after speed and punch out or more cinematic?

I do most of cinematic flying as this is my first racing drone, but still try punches more and more. Is it possible that battery with not enough C will turn off the drone? That happen on my RC car, the system shuts down on punch.
