Hi! My team has been using the 2022 kit to prep for the 2023 competition. One of our batteries looks to be beyond saving though, and we’re looking to get a replacement.
Are we past the warranty period on the kit? Could I get a replacement from Bell?
If not, could someone send me an order link for an alternative battery? The only one I could find that was an exact match was sold out.
We use aftermarket batteries since one of our batteries gave out. So we have 3, one original and 2 aftermarket. They seem to work just fine, just make sure you get the same size, 4S LiPo, 5400 Mah (pretty sure that’s the number), and XT-60 connectors.
Will do!
Have you guys done fine using batteries with different C ratings?
Teams are responsible for replacing their own parts this season, so the answer to your first question is that Bell or RECF would not provide a replacement.
You can also try looking at the link provided in the KOP’s spreadsheet to purchase a replacement.
This spreadsheet is so helpful!
Thanks! We’ll get replacements ordered right away
That link does not work
Which battery are you trying to replace?
If you’re looking for a replacement battery for the AVR drone this is a good option:
Anything with 5000 or 5200mAh 4S lipo will meet the specs of what we’ve provided in previous years. Please make sure that it has at least a 50C rating and an XT60 connector.
