Hi I am kinda new to electric boats I use to run nitri back in the early 80's but got out of it but got a grandson now and has a lot of interst so back in I go but this time I am looking at electric these didn;t exisest back then i have read that Turnigy batteries arnt that good that you don't get very menney cycles out of them is the true or the fly boys just prejustes?

I would rate my experiece as good. I have them for both my boats and planes and besides. I have lost 2, but the cost of the 2 I used and lost is still much MUCH less then a higher quality pack. I enjoy them personnally. JMO

At the bottom of the forum home page thier is a Venom question section so their maybe some information in their about the timing. I do not think those batts will fit they maybe to big I am not 100% sure though, I don't own a EKOS. I'm sure you can find all the info you need though somewhere in the Venom section.

Welcome to OSE.

I try not to use hardcases in my boats. I like the other soft or wrapped packs better for my boats, they are normally a lot skinnier and easier to move in and out especially the bigger turnigy hardcases take up a lot of room . I do have a pair of Tenergy 4000mah 25c that are very thin even smaller then a regualr soft pack turnigy and make it great. I run then in my H&m because of room in the hull. But the hardcase zippies I haave which are similar dimensions I personnally didn't care for them. I will try and find a link for the really thin tenergy's I have.

Edit

I found the batts I have and these are great, their size is awesome. They are a lot smaller then the zippy/turnigy packs of the same specs and work great getting in and out of my h&m mono. They are on sale at amazon and I would by these over a turnigy pack. The are the lowest "c" rating batt at 25c I use in my boats and they run just as great as my zippy & turnigy 30c's. Since they are on sale right now, I may pick up a set even though I don't need anymore batts. First thing to do is dump that god awful plug they have on their and stick some 5.5mm bullets on.
