I see 2 model on my 350 ES UPC. 350: 2.9A/200W &amp; 500: 4.2A/300W. W/ 500 batt, I get 40% more power. Charge will take longer but what else can happen?

Be sure to check the physical dimensions of the battery. If the new battery has a reasonable charge on it, the only effect will be the rate of charge. During a black-out, it will keep your computer up for a longer time. The main issue is whether the new battery will physically fit into the UPS.

I noticed it doing this on my 75AH battery. But on my 35AH battery it does not do this, or it hasn't yet. I think it has to do with the battery size confusing the voltage reading. Batteries are still tricky to master. It's better that it's cautious during charging rather than brute forcing the battery into oblivion is my guess as to why it's quirky. What size battery are you charging? There is a range specified in the owner manual. I think 75AH is the upper limit. Maybe that's why it's doing that on the larger battery.

I noticed that as well. My old one was heavy. New one light. So, probably a more updated "solid state" charger. Voltage output is a little higher than my old one.

In asking other people when I was shopping I found that the 300 is the latest model. Some said the 100 took too long to charge devices. Good Luck.

I'm not sure about the ES 550. I have an ES 500 and it has only one battery. If I were you, I would open the UPS, look at the battery to get the model # and rating, measure the battery for size, and then order a suitable replacement. Battery ratings and sizes vary so you need to be sure you order one that has the correct capacity and also will fit inside your UPS. Look for terminal locations on the existing batteries to make sure there is nothing unusual about the existing battery.

You will have to do the soldering. You don't have to get the programming card, but it is WELL worth it, and I HIGHLY recommend it, or you may find yourself rather frustrated when trying to change even a small variable. Additionally, this ESC needs really good lipo batteries. If running 4s, I recommend at least 5000mah each at 35c or greater discharge, I believe I run 60c. Caps might help with inadequate batteries. It demands a lot of juice, but really puts out the power. I can't see how anyone could make use of all the power it puts out even with just 4s. It is a handful and awesome.

Just measured the WP3-12 battery in my ES 350 model BE350U and it is only 3.22 inches high. It is a very tight fit and I see no way that this one could fit if the listed 2.64 inch dimension is correct. Is the description in error?

Bear in mind that if you take this battery below 8.5 v you will damage the battery and void the warranty. I would suggest giving yourself a safety margin of a larger battery so that you don't run the risk of inadvertently damaging it. The BTL35A480C has a Pb Eq of 26~35Ah and has the biggest saving over MRSP of $64 if you purchase from Amazon. Be sure to get the correct charger.

Yes, you need to set the ESC to LiPo mode to avoid ruining the battery. Also, if you don't already have one, you need a LiPo compatible charger.

There is an OEM configuration difference in the batteries between the two platforms. Strange isn't it?

if you can smell the battery it probably is bad or your overcharging it.. How long you should charge your battery is totally dependant upon how many milliamps or mA it has. If it has 1400mA it will charge much faster than a battery with 2800mA. Now look at your converter, you will notice several things on the sticker that will be affixed to it. We are looking for the output rating on it specifically. It usually says something like "OUTPUT: DC 8.4v 300mA" but changes from brand to brand and model to model. See that 300mA on the charge? That's how many mA its charges per hour so if you have a 1500mA battery and a 300mA charger its just simple math from this point.So it will take 5 hours total to charge a completely dead/new battery to its full capacity. You simply divide the mA on the charge to the mA of your battery and you will get the time it should take to fully charge a completely drained battery. This does mean to set it and forget it though. In most cases your battery has already been charged once even if still new for quality control purposes so you really need to keep an eye on your battery still.

I get 2 and not quite a 3rd full charge. I feel like the size of this battery is overstated. I previously had a battery charger that claimed to have 11000mHa. and easily got four full charges out if it. I'm not happy with this current battery charger at all.

That is probably correct with the Lipos (30-35), but with the included batteries (NiMh) it doesn't really matter because they drop off so fast & it is always changing. To charge for 6 hours to get a couple of good passes before it just stops & needs to rejuvenate is a little ridiculous. I'm guessing maybe 25-30. You might be better off looking at a "You-Tube" video but everyone there seems to use Lipos including the RedCat advertisements. I didn't see the point of needing that kind of upgrade right out of the box, it just isn't fair.

I bought a 3000 and a 3800, and it ran for 30-40 minutes with each. The battery that came with it only lasted about 5-7 minutes on the 1st charge. I also bought a better charger and it charges in less than 2 hours. 1 hour for the original battery. But definitely a great car for starting out

I dont understand your question. What i can tell you is that i just replaced my old sla battery for this one and it worked like a charm. This one weights less than half of the old one, gives me more than double distance/use time and the best feature, its power lasts until the end, i.e. you have full power until the batery dies.

Mine came with almost a full charge on them (~4.1V). I topped them off overnite two at a time - used one for a day in a Fenix PD35. It's been >2 weeks since I charged them and they all read 4.16V - I can't tell which one I used! The charger supplied is minimal - expect over two days to fully recharge a depleted cell with it. The Nitecore I2 or I4 is a better charger. You need a $3 Harbor Freight CenTech Digital Multimeter to check them.

3500 vs 1650mAh on the standard phone means longer between charging. Theoretically a little more than double the battery life. But I don't know the dimensions of the battery and whether it now becomes bulkier.
