Still waiting for my walkera 5200mah battery from hobbyking from my P1.5
Ordered one on ebay on the same day...

He accepted a $56 offer and it was on my doorstep in 14 days.
For anyone looking to purchase one of these batteries, they will fit in a trimmed P1 or a P1.5

El G's walkera test thread

By trimmed do you mean cutting the doorway bigger? I'm guessing you had to change connectors? Have you tested flight times?

Yes
Yes, need to solder on an XT60
No, El G did a bunch of testing. I haven't flown my bird in a bit, other than for a few minutes testing my CF 9443s.

I'll find a link to my testing.

Generally, I found it's ok but not ideal for the phantom. There's more capacity than a 4400 but it doesn't quite match the flight time of a true 5400mah that is more than 80g heavier. To boot, the low-c makes it discharge warmer, and nearly half your usable capacity sits at 10.4 to 10.7v, making low voltage monitoring a bit of a joke (most people are well on their way to landing at 10.7v).

With that all said, I don't hate them, and have been flying them on my y6. They get warm to the touch but still work fine, and I'm trying to see if aggressive discharging actually is detrimental to their long term health.
