I have been testing many different batteries and modifying my Phantoms to get the longest flight times. Everyone that has a Phantom looks for those extra minutes. Some have held up to their promise and many have fallen short. Recently I expanded my search to those companies that have been in the RC racing world knowing they have already found solutions and have had many more years working with batteries. The one company that kept coming up on top was SMC Racing. I placed a call to Danny, one of the owners asking him about his batteries and why his was always coming getting the best reviews and winning challenges. He gave me about an hour answer! But it was worth it. Hearing how he determines what is high quality and what he demands from his suppliers made me understand that there is much more to this science. And unlike a car, boat or truck that is on the ground, we depend even more on having something that has been highly tested so that it will not fail while we are in the air.
Today I received a letter from SMC telling me they now will be selling a 2800mAh battery with an XT60 connector on 12AWG wire. And the most exciting part for me is the Price at $29.95 http://www.smc-racing.net/index.php?rou ... uct_id=235
I cannot wait for my order to arrive so I can run it through the paces. I will be able to test it with a Phantom 1 loaded with Gimbal, and FPV and one with only the FPV. If it performs like all the others I have tried from FMC, I think every Phantom owner will be stocking up. He truly puts them through extreme testing and holds his manufacture to the highest standards.
I wanted to get this out ahead of my order so others can look at the SMC Company and this battery. I sure hope this helps everyone, and when I have more time to run my tests I will report back with a Video Review.
