Suggest more batteries for testing
Added 2018-09-13 11:52:04 +0000 UTCI have set up a poll for batteries to test next. Please make your suggestion here: https://poll.ly/#/2kKwbRAW Be sure to scan the list and see if your pack has already been suggested before adding a new one.
Just as a quick update, the last couple months I have been working with some folks to speed up the test procedures and make it easier to find results. I appreciate that, from the outside, this looks a lot like not doing anything at all :-/
I have trained up a helper who will be doing the actual testing (keeping him or her anonymous for the time being so as to be able to use them as a secret shopper). And the very, very helpful Mark Hardy has been working on http://lipotest.fpvknowitall.com/ which is a web site for presenting battery results. Right now the web site simply presents the results, but soon it will have the ability to compare results against each other and more.

Would be nice to test indestructible Quads’ Black Label such as <a href="https://indestructiblequads.com/collections/batteries/products/indestructible-quads-black-label-4s-80c-racing-lipo-1300mah-1500mah-battery" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://indestructiblequads.com/collections/batteries/products/indestructible-quads-black-label-4s-80c-racing-lipo-1300mah-1500mah-battery</a>
2018-10-23 21:04:02 +0000 UTCSome Micro Battery Tests would be awesome too. I've found GNB (Blue Label) 2-3S 550-650mah batteries perform outstanding on my 2.5" Builds. I would probably have to sayy favorite batteries for my 2.5" are 3S Venom Graphene 650mAh. Just bought some CNHL batteries to try out. Other than that I use Tattu which are solid batteries just nothing spectacular.
2018-10-02 07:11:39 +0000 UTCI too have been flying Venom 1300 and 1500 mAh Graphene as my main 8-10 Batteries, also fly with Tattu 75/95C and Venoms Regular Lipo Line as Well.
2018-10-02 07:06:08 +0000 UTCHrm, the poll doesn't seem to render correctly in Android Chrome. From what I could see the focus appeared to be on batteries for 5 inch. It'd be great to do some micro tests. 3-4S, 450-850mah. But even better than that given the season would be some brushless tinywhoop tests. I've not seen much info out there and the brands seem to be different so you don't know where to start. From personal experience I've seen significant variance in price and performance, with my only name brand 1s being the fastest to drop out of the sky and get puffy.

2018-09-30 15:31:15 +0000 UTCI already tested the 1300 and 1500 so I probably won't go back and re-test so soon when there are others out there.
