Measurement confirmation needed. - 07.07.2009, 06:07 PM
I'm wanting to buy a 6s 4200 mah Hyperion G3 VX 35c lipo for my flm savage. The measurements I have for the battery are L 136.3 W 42.8 H 54.7

The problem is I have room to fit the 42.8mm width, but I'm wondering if the measurements posted on Hyperions site are accurate? Does anyone here have this pack, and if you do could you give me exact measurements please? Thanx.

Mike

I have the 3s packs, which are made from the same cells... so the width would be the same.

I measured 43mm width, so yes it's correct. But you also have the wires that will come out which adds 3mm hump on the end of the pack.

Make sure you have a strong drivetrain, these things will knock the $hit out of your a$$. Great choice of pack, you won't be disappointed.

Well if it weren't for these new gen lipo cells, I would still be using A123's... it's the cycle life and fast charging that really attracts me, the power is the bonus with these. I guess I have more of the mentality that goes along with full scale electric vehicle conversion and design. We people like things to be robust, and A123 cells for battery packs are exactly that.

I have the exact pack, the VX LG335-4200-6S. It measures just like the datasheet said, Hyperion has re-calipered all their packs and had a new revision of datasheet, now its more accurate than before.
