How about this battery

Would this battery work? http://www.rk2trade.com/rk2trade/produc ... cts_id=260" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yes that will work just fine, and you will get a pretty darn goods battery life to boot! Beware though, that site is written in poor English so probably foreign, and also they list in the title 10000 mAh but in the description 8000 mAh. Maybe find a better more reliable source? Any battery of at least 7.2v will be just fine, and any mAh capacity over 6000 mAh will give you a few hours play time and up.

It doesn't say, do you think this battery has a protection circuit?

[snowpenguin]

Probably not, that would probably be in the RC car. I still wouldn't get that battery.

It says 10,000 in 3 places, including right on the battery in the pic. Dont see where you saw 8000. The small connector with 3 wires is probably for attaching a protection circuit to. Id guess that the firdt black wire is the bottom (negative end of the battery pile), the middle black wire is the middle between the batteries, and the last red wire is the positive side of the top battery.

That's just a guess though. It could be some feedback from the protection circuit. I dont see any problems with this batttery really. Except it might be larger than you expect. Make a paper model.

Hmm, it's been edited. Do what you will.

No actually I've had the battery for a couple months, I just posted a site that had the specs already. I'm having trouble finding a 7.4 pcm rated for 10a, I found a 9a but i dont want to risk it. Do I need to wire these cells parallel or singly and find two 3.7 pcm's?

[timmeh87]

risk what? You aren't even going to be using more than 2 or 3 amps... A lower cutoff would be safer, technically.

So this PCB would work fine? http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?P ... rodID=3006" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
