Super User ATA Posted October 9, 2022 Super User Posted October 9, 2022 Guys I am looking for battery for my Baitboat (RC Boat), Here is the battery I can find that fits and match but it is very expensive and I am looking for cheaper Option that have same size and power and discharge level. https://www.genstattu.com/tattu-22-8-v-25c-6s-23000mah-lipo-battery-with-xt90-s-plug-for-uav.html Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted October 9, 2022 Super User Posted October 9, 2022 Sorry, can't help you with that battery. That's a lot of battery in a small package. That's like buying 8 to 10 "normal" Lipo batteries and add that to the fact the material to make them is in short supply and high demand with the EV push to force IC vehicles out of production is driving the prices up to ridicules levels. Batteries I used to buy for my RC helicopters and planes are four to five times more than a few years ago. I also have to ask, what the heck is an RC Bait Boat. Must be some fancy addition to kayak fishing if so, seems like a piece of long cord needs to be added to it. Unless you need that much run time, you can always go down to a lower amp hour battery and if you don't need to go full speed with it, you can drop down to a lower C, like a 15C, they are usually cheaper. A lower amp hour is probably a lot more available than that massive thing you are wanting. Maybe even find two 3S batteries and run them in series or a couple of smaller 6S and run them in parallel. You might need to get creative. 1 Quote

I need to get this running Quote
Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted October 9, 2022 Super User Posted October 9, 2022 Sorry can't help, but those things are incredibly cool. Wish I still surf fished just so I could buy one. I remember as a kid in the Outer Banks watching dudes paddle out Tuna heads at midnight in little kayaks. They'd catch huge sharks though doing it. Can the company not sell you an OEM battery? Quote

You can get there with a pair of 12x20 lithiums in series. That would be about $260 for a pair and you’d need two pairs plus some wiring hardware. Check the max amperage draw vs the battery specs but I can’t imagine the boat is pulling high amperage. https://ampedoutdoors.com/collections/lifepo4-battery 1 Quote
