can you report back your thoughts please
I had a look the other night for amps.com,,,, didn't find anything. Also a true 100C battery is a thing that just doesn't exist, too many battery brands just stick a big number on there to make them seem better than the competition, it may well be a good battery but 100C it will not be. Not that it really matters for what we're asking of them with this mod, a 1300mAh with a true 15C would suffice though the higher true C the better it will hold its voltage under load therefore the longer it will last. If you could can you go to the page on the website for the battery you're talking about, right click and copy the address bar and paste it here in the thread for us?
In my opinion the most important thing when it comes to batteries for this mod, and any series packs for that matter, is a good quality pack that has very well matched cells. If the internal resistance of all three cells is near enough the same it will drain and charge evenly making it easier for the onboard charger, or external charger, making them much quicker to charge properly. Unbalanced cells can charge to near full charge fairly quickly but then the last part of the charge which is when most the balancing is done can take an age.
Another few points about lipo packs like this is their C rating is very temperature dependent, don't leave them in the car when it's cold and then go firing the mod at 200W, keep them warm before use. Also if you're not using the mod for more than a few days it's best not to leave them fully charged, about 3.8V per cell is best for storing them, also temperature has the opposite effect for storage, cold is better, some people store them in a fridge but be sure to keep them sealed against moisture and warm them before use.
I've not actually tried them yet but these
Turnigy nano-tech 1300mAh 3S packs from HobbyKing UK warehouse should be a good match for the VTbox. Turnigy's are usually pretty good though you do get the odd rogue pack getting through QC. The main power connector would need changing on either the battery or the mod though.
