Worlds FIRST ADVANCED SMART LIHV LIPO Battery by GensAce Tattu

[@rcdriver]

Great video brother. Just got back from running one in my Fireteam. Plenty-o-rip!

[@ExocagedRC]

yeah man they have some punch!!

[@alfalso434]

Those are sweet! Gens Ace are my favorite batteries. I use them in my crawlers. I think it's been 3 yrs now and they work just as good as they did new!! Awesome batteries!!

[@SteadfastRC]

it does seem kind of gimmicky to me, most of the "features" of the button can be had with a 2$ cell checker that will give you more accurate info anyway. as for the self-discharge most of those are a very low rate that take forever to discharge a big battery like that, my opinion if you're using lipos you need to be responsible with them and not rely on things like this.

[@ExocagedRC]

I agree but I have 3 of those lipo checkers and sometimes I can’t find any of them. If the battery is sitting over the winter and it takes a week to get to storage I don’t see an issue with that. The over charge protection, that’s a much needed feature in the RC world.

[@SteadfastRC]

@@ExocagedRC yeah I get where you're saying, I run a lot of LiPO batteries especially in fpv quadcopter oh, I have never used a charger that would let me overcharge a battery cell, maybe an old charger I guess?

[@rc-daily]

@@SteadfastRC you see a lot of lipo fires these days. My buddy's house burnt to thr ground over a lipo battery. These little features really can help the average guy be safer. With these batteries, being safe is smart

[@teslacybertruck750]

@@ExocagedRC if you have 3 lipo checkers and sometimes cant find any of them that is called lack of responsibility

[@marcuslandry3804]

@@teslacybertruck750 I have 4 or 5 lipo cell checkers, they are all stored in the same place, but there are times due to their size that I misplace them. I take extremely good care of my batteries, just as Joe does, so please do not accuse someone of being irresponsible that you don't know

[@PhilBender612]

Spectrum smart batteries were the 1st and with those you're able to set your parameters as far as, When you would like it to storage charge itself(default is 72hrs), LVC, Automatic charge rate, and more. Now the xbc100 is needed for this but that's$30 and does much more than a voltage checker. I do however like the instant voltage meter built into the battery that's cool. Overall I think the spectrum smart batteries G1 & G2 are where it's at.

[@PageCrowes]

Spektrum only makes them 5000mah 100cs that's horrible for dbxl and other heavy vehicles.

[@InTheZone85]

spektrum isn't LIHV (basically you can't cheap out on the quality when producing LIHV)

[@andrewtexiera2858]

Just order my 6s lipos from them can’t wait thanks for always keeping me updated with great products !!!

[@bachirbattache2997]

Very good news for the Dbxle 2.0 community 👍👍 thank you very much😎

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah man I’ll be working to get a 6S set since they are the same size. The auto storage and overcharge protection is awesome to me.

[@sabresswords]

Man I just can't seem to bring myself to spend 200 bucks on 1 battery. But it sure is cool.

[@Inertia888]

Seems over-engineered to me. I have a voltage meter that does everything this battery can do... I guess maybe for someone who is weary about lipos? Or for a kid who doesn't understand how to take care of 'em?

[@legaltycena7933]

Have had two 4s batteries for 10 years now. Forgot to storage charge them over the winter so now they're dead sadly. But 10 years is really good. I had desire power batteries!

[@EJ-74]

That's sick Exo 🔥

[@hyperflowfans]

[@Sublimescatty]

I'd like to see another video on these showing what all they will fit in, like two in a Super baja rey/rock rey.

[@robertb.4202]

I am all for making LiPo batteries safer. I understand the veterans will say shit like “blah! They just need to take better care of their batteries” and such, but let’s be real. People are people. Some will screw up out of ignorance and some out of haste. Safeguards like the 5 day discharge will be helpful in preventing unnecessary losses due to battery fires.

[@Screwfly1]

Cool product. Can't wait to see it trickle down to smaller sizes. Can you do a vid on your storage solution for LiPos? And maybe your charging station? I'm just getting into bashers and want to keep these bigger batteries safe.

[@ExocagedRC]

When you're done, just plug into charger and select storage

[@Screwfly1]

@@ExocagedRC I do that now. Just looking at more than tossing the batteries in a lipo bag.

[@squarefoot2090]

It would be cool if you could change the battery from 3s to 6s with a button or vice versa

[@proraptor4146]

Oh hell yeah, gens ace makes the best lipos in the industry.....a battery that automatically storage charges....mind blown

[@olds97lss]

Spektrum's do this too. They don't have the LED thing on them, but they will self storage charge. Too expensive for my blood though... lol!

[@RDEnduro]

Self-cutoff? Im curious whats different! Thanks for posting

[@ExocagedRC]

if your charger is set wrong and it tries to overcharge it will cut power from the balance plug which will stop most chargers

[@NoName-dn8nv]

Battgo had the right idea getting rid of the balance lead too bad never took off

[@MegaBigred92]

neat, good for bashers for sure. bit heavier and bulky for racing. with all the off brand cheap chargers that are known to overcharge and cause fires this is a great way to prevent it. hopefully the price point is low enough that it entices newbs and bashers to buy.

[@ExocagedRC]

True. Now if you charge this LIHV 4.35v at a normal lipo voltage of 4.2v I’d have to hope it would be ok?

[@MegaBigred92]

@@ExocagedRC protek batteries state on product description that you can use a normal charger on their lihv without issues with still utilizing the added benefits of the higher c ratings and charge/ discharge rates. My many hours of research of the lihv batteries and graphene is that the batteries are just highest quality cells that allows the higher voltage and amperage without damage but when charging and importantly storing properly like a normal lipo you should have longer cell life.

[@nstewart636]

How much run time are you getting in a stock dbxle 2.0 with these?

[@ryurc3033]

The biggest battery I have is a 4s zeeee 5600, and it's too heavy for my slash 4x4 with monster x/ and 2200 kv 1515. When they come out with a new light weight small form factor, maybe....but honestly I'm going the other way, smaller ,lighter. Really the thing that has killed most of my battery's was my own stupidity ( last time, left 2 plugged in)

I have some Lipo batteries going on seven years old.. my first Lipo zippy 2s 5200mah it still takes a really good charge 4.17 every time.. it Dumbs it 3.4 Best thing about it don’t have electronics and it’s waterproof , The main reason I don’t buy smart batteries 🌧🌧🌧

[@kevinmendesracehavenrc]

Hey Joe will this battery fit the super Baja Rey 2.0 truck

[@ExocagedRC]

That’s a great question. I didn’t even think of trying that but I think maybe the length might be the issue and then the height might not allow 8s. I’ll test that fit when I get home tonight.

[@ExocagedRC]

Send me a message this evening to remind me please.

[@shamblershamfam3597]

I'm my experience the biggest problem with batteries is sturdiness. Bashing destroys cases and causes internal issues. Not gonna stop bashing, but I would like to see lipos being offered with more ruggedness.

[@ExocagedRC]

This case looks to be tough. Time will tell

[@kevinmendesracehavenrc]

Nobody ever does a battery fit test I have gens Ace Redline 7500 Mah 4S batteries and two of those fit in there. Is this battery the same size as a 7500 gens Ace Redline? Thank you in advance

[@ExocagedRC]

I posted the size specs in the description, I don’t have the batteries you mention but you can compare them by the measurements.

[@peteroosterhoff8850]

My question would be, what garantee is given that these features keep working after bashing, crashing, dust. And if it's broken, will the lipo still work...? Looks to me it's just an expensive feature that can break down...

[@ExocagedRC]

no idea on that

[@yinvelocius]

[@montesamapping]

Too expensive batteries I think are less convenient than buying middle price one, considering them as something to use for a considerable amount of months and then throw away for some new one. I always have in my bag some battery as a spare for finishing my daily plan if needed and I think this give more chances to arrive at the end of the day without problems. I had an electric Trial bike and I can assure that there is no better choice than having a new battery in the bag... if possible (for Trial bike at the moment is not possible and the best battery quality is not a solution, unfortunately).

[@Reecefpv]

I bet that lipo is 300$ lol well correction. Almos 200 but still.. Just imagine breaking that one the first run of the day 😳. Thats my kinda luck. That's why I run budget lipos since none of them last for over a year or 2 with extreme bashing

[@ExocagedRC]

I’ve got a maxamps and they are just over rated. By a lot. But I really like the automatic storage feature. That’s something I like as well as the over voltage cutoff safety. There are only a handful of RC guys that know the ins and out of lipos and even we make mistakes from time to time.

[@ConditionZero76]

@@ExocagedRC You make some good points, I was thinking more Drag car when I mentioned Max Amps, I really like there 2s4p / 2s5p etc batteries for drag racing, but I agree that aside there over rated or at the very least way (over priced!! ) I often forget not everybody knows the dangers involved with Lipos ,I see your point ...👍

[@GazooRC]

All I can say is 🤔

[@robbryan3044]

I really like Gens Ace...they produce excellent LiPo packs. However, this is a bit on the "overkill" side...plus, for the price they're charging, it's a ripoff. Sorry, Gens Ace, but I'm going to consider this one a 'fail'. A LiPo checker is FAR more accurate. As others have pointed out, there shouldn't be any need for am "overcharged power cutoff" - if you're using any charger of at least halfway-decent quality, it'll never overcharge, so that "feature" is wasted. The button & LEDs are just "flash", and adds (exorbitantly, it appears) to the cost. To Joe, I also have 3 LiPo checkers...but, I DON'T lose them. I have 3 ammunition boxes that I keep all my batteries in, and I keep a LiPo checker in each box. When I add a 4th box, I'll add a 4th LiPo checker. As long as you always put it back in the box after using it (which isn't a difficult thing to do), you'll never have to 'remember' whether are.

[@ExocagedRC]

I use things every day and go from one project to another, nothing stays in place other than a few items.

They almost had it right. Still has a balance connector though 🙄 Has a board in it that can cut the balance connector off, but can’t self balance? Fail.

Why are we pushing “smart” stuff? Managing lipos isn’t hard at all, we don’t need automatic functions.
