Can i use this battery?

[hawkskater]

Today when i was at my friends house, we were watching tv, and i was bored so i flip out my phone, and pull the battery off it, after a closer inspection, i learned that it is a littium ion battery. Can i use my cell phone batter on my xmod, its really thin and light, it weighs less then 1 aaa, and holds 6-7 volts of power. could i use this battery? Has anyone tried this?

[SUPERSHELBY]

i think its possible but idk

I wouldnt try then u wouldnt have a battery for ur phone. plusi t will probilly not work and blow the fets.

ya u dont want to ruin ur phone

those flat sqared batteries are Lithium polymers.
They have similar voltage to the li-ions:3,7V per cell(3,6 is the li-ion)and of course need to be charged differently(with charger setted on4,2V per cells instead of 4,1 of the li-ions).
However they have more capacity but most of all an hiegher discharge rate.
But usually the phone's lipo are not so powerfull,because isn't needed to have 8Amps of discharge.

I suggest to use lipo only if you have really hot motors in drag race(plasmatomic draws 8,4 A under load,X-2ls pro 4,6 ò NO LOAD )
In this case I'd go for a thunder power 730 mAh,2S(7,4V),15C
or an rc system 830 mAh,2S,12C
Bigger pack,with higher capacity are very difficult to fit on xmods,because of the dimension(especially for gen1)

if you wanna know more search for some flying models shop or forum,those models use,if electric powered,almost anly lipo because of their capacity,low weight and discharge rate.

Hope helped!

They are not always li poly's usually they are prismatic li-ions.

[jollyboss]

You're on reason...I got it was checking mobile batteries,that usually are lipos...
Anyway,remains valid what I've posted before.

ehhhh, for the most part cell phone batteries r prismatic li-ions(rectangular li-ons

[xmodificationer]

this is what i did

battery pack from this(3 AA pack)

to this



what i did was take the motor wires tape them to the battery contact things and the motor i cant control but with the xmod on i can control the steering. it goes fast with this! (Yes it looks ghetto and i did it in like 5 minutes so Iche-1 please dont comment negativly im just showing hawkskater what i did to give him ideas.)

Yes...I remember a topic on an Italian forum speaking about lipo mobile's batteries...but at the moment I don't remember...

[hawkskater]

my batteries on my phone are 2/4 of an inch thick, and one battery holds 6volts each, and they are lithium ion batterys i checked it again today.

The point is that cell phone batteries are meant for slow drain applications and cant deliver the current needed to be very useful in this application.

it would be better just to get the li-ion batteries meant for xmods, its probably cheaper and you know it would work for sure.

I saw on I think, woahnelly that they had a lipoly cell phone type pack for the xmods. it looked sleek and small. Can't remember know. Too many sites. all running together. Late.
