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.
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.
TG3 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!
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.

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
appropriate for most models and deliver high capacity and power per gram
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.
