Nosram 4100mAh & 3100mAh stick pack LiPo batteries

After months of development and testing, the new Nosram stick pack LiPo batteries are ready. The perfect LiPos for hobby and amateur drivers who are mindful of their budget but still want to run LiPo batteries of high quality. Also ideal for RTR buyers who want to start directly with LiPo batteries. This classic, rounded “stick pack” shape in 134mm length fits perfectly into chassis that were originally designed for NiMH stick pack batteries. Due to the 4mm off-centre cable outlet, the battery posts are also no longer in the way. Currently available in 4100mAh and 3100mAh 50C versions, they are each available with the currently popular connectors, Tamiya, T-Plug, XT60 and EC3.
