Hyperion stored in package for 2 years still good?
I bought a Hyperion 3.7v 160mah 25c battery two years ago and never took it out of its original packaging. I am ready to use it now but was wondering if it is still good? I'm not sure what voltage it was stored at for two years because I don't know what voltage Hyperion sends their batteries out at. Anything special I need to do with it?

Is this a G3 25C pack?
It definitely won't have the power that it 'would' have vs. brand new, but try it out. You will have to do a few (5+ cycles) at low charging levels to wake them up before you thrash them. |

Not al are the same but a few months ago I assmeble some Hyperion 25C bare 240 mAh cells which I had purchased two years prior in to 2S packs for my EFlite Beast and a last week a few of them as 1S packs for my Blade mCPX. I also purchased 5 new Hyp. 240 cells for use in the mCPX. I can tell not difference in any of these cells during CBA graph test or during flying.

I just saw that one person said it will not have the power and one person said it would. I just thought that my volt reading might have given enough info to tell maybe. Anyway, I'll just try it out and see. Drew |

Volts is only how full the gas tank is. The unknown at this time is how big the tank is and how fast the hole (amps) will allow the gas (voltage) to flow out of the tank.
Confused? Good. :P Charge them, fly them and report how they do. My $$$ says better than your used cells. I have heard before that there is a chemical reaction that has to happen and it takes a few cycles to activate the cells; hense a break-in of 3 to 5 cycles to get them up to max performance. This is to have better shelf life than a cell cycled a few times and stored.... or so the rumor goes... Rick |
