NOTHING COMPARES! The newest and best Li-PO technology on the market. Lasts up to 4X More Cycles than other Li-PO's!!!!!!
Lasts up to 4X More Cycles than other
Li-PO's!!!!!! Hyperion released the new Generation 3 Lithium Polymer
packs in March of 2009. Since then, they have taken the R/C world by
storm, and well more than 130,000 packs have been sold as of July 2010!
Why are they so popular, and why do so many users come back to buy
more?
- When properly used and stored, they provide
extremely consistent performance. Some users have reported as many as
500 strong cycles so far, and still going strong. While some other
"bargain" brands start to rapidly decrease in performance after as few
as 10 cycles, the G3 typically improve in voltage performance during the
initial 50~100 discharges.
- G3 Performance is consistent over many
cycles, and that performance is at a very high loaded voltage level.
That means more power delivered per capacity of the pack.
- Extreme quality control procedures at all
steps has delivered a cell failure rate of less than one in one thousand
over 300 cycles.
- The quality materials used and robust physical design of the packs helps protect them from damage, and they look great.
- Super-fast charge time (as fast as 12
minutes!) with absolutely no negative impact on lifespan or reliability.
(6C max, but 5C advised as "best practice" , see below)
- They are the best overall value in Lipo, given their price, performance, and lifespan.
Hyperion Generation 3 Lithium Polymer Packs are
proving truly revolutionary in both performance and value. Compared to
an average of the batteries on market last year, they provide up to up
to 4x more cycles under the same discharge conditions. And that makes
them a bargain price-wise.
The fact that they can be safely charged at up
to 6C rates - for charge times as low as 10 to 12 minutes - is just
icing on a very tasty cake.
These batteries were tested and improved over a 14 month period
But they also deliver the highest voltage and
flattest discharge curves under load that we have ever seen, which makes
them the best performer you can buy. And tests have shown that at the
70%-discharged point in flight, they are delivering as much as 40% more
power than previous generation LiPo.
With charge rates at 5C after 100 charges on
each cell size a significant difference in retained capacity or
delivered voltage under load could not be seen compared to 2C charge
rate for any of them.
For longevity (any lipo) and faster charge
times, it is advisable setting TCS (charged capacity) to 90%~95%. That
drops the terminal voltage a bit, which insures the longest life from
your batteries. Also, be sure to use STORE Mode if your batteries will
sit for more than a day or two. And we recommend using Hyperion NET/DUO
chargers, because they can do both the above, and are very accurate in
terminal voltage. (and can charge at up to 5C, and have the WATT power
to do it for many pack sizes and configurations).
The G3 packs are made with a new Hybrid RS
construction technology, super-fine substrate materials, rigorous ISO
9001 Quality Control, and final cell matching process, which all
guarantee you not only this superb performance, but also tightly
balanced and long-lasting packs.
The vast majority of the RC lipo's on the
market till now use an internal construction arrangement called
"stacked". This results in quick-response delivery of high C rates,
relatively low cost of production, and a relatively light battery.
However, life-cycle performance is relatively poor with the stacked
arrangement, and cells tend to drift faster (ie imbalance in a pack).
The other was a "rolled" technique. Rolled
construction leads to longer life performance, but at higher cost of
production and slightly reduced energy and power density.
G3 are the first to use a hybrid arrangement of
rolled and stacked techniques. Combined with very fine and tightly
controlled substrate mixtures, this hybrid is delivering both super
power performance and many more usable cycles.
The G3 LiPo come in three series. "CX" 25C are
appropriate for most models and deliver high capacity and power per gram
at low cost. The "VX" 35C series is for applications that need a high
voltage maintained at high discharge rates; for example highly aerobatic
3D airplanes and helicopters, competition gliders, pylon racers, and
some EDF jets. The "EX" 45C series is for applications that need the
highest possible voltage maintained at high discharge rates. The EX 45C
are EXTREME POWER!
Background:
The G3 packs were the first to introduce the
new Hybrid RS (rolled/stacked) construction technology, super-fine
"nano" substrate materials, and an extremely rigorous Quality Control
and cell matching process, in order to guarantee you not only superb
performance, but also very tightly balanced and long-lasting packs. No
other brand has yet exceeded our specifications - regardless of their
marketing claims - nor value pricing. Hyperion makes a point of
bringing the best to market, at the lowest possible pricing for you.
G3 deliver the highest voltage and flattest
discharge curves under load, which makes them the best performer you can
buy. And tests have shown that at the 70%-discharged point in flight,
they are delivering as much as 40% more power than previous generation
LiPo.
The fact that they can be safely charged at up
to 6C rates with absolutely no negative impact on lifespan - for charge
times as low as 10 to 12 minutes - is just icing on a very tasty cake.
(G3 have been certified for 6C without cycle decrease. However, charge
time difference between 6C and 5C is negligible (or often zero) due to
CC/CV curves, so we believe 5C to be the ideal fast-charge setting for
quality Lipo).
The G3 LiPo come in three series. "CX" 25C are

at low cost. The "VX" 35C series is the one for applications that need
higher voltage maintained at high discharge rates; for example highly
aerobatic 3D airplanes and helicopters. "EX" 45C provide extreme
voltage-holding capability for high output applications like pylon
racers or other very fast models, LMR glider competition, extreme 3D
helicopters, and many EDF jets.
