Where to get a battery for my Missileworks T3?

[ridnharley]

Hi everyone,
HobbyKing doesn't have the 750 mah battery for the T3.
They don't know when it will be back in stock.
What to do now?
Is there somewhere else to find this battery?

Thanks for your help, Al

Why do you need a 750 mah battery? I used a 500 mah lipo on mine and can get multiple flights in a day.

I get mine off Amazon. I've used 600 and 750, no issues with either.

I found 2 on Ebay. Thanks everyone.

I also would like to buy the recommended battery from HobbyKing. However, it is out of stock and also out of stock at Amazon. Since I know little about Li batteries, would the below alternative suggestion from Amazon work with a T3? Thanks.

why not use a 9 volt?

why not use a 9 volt?

The T3 is set up for 3.5 to 7.4 volts. The manual only discusses using 1S and 2S Lipos.

I should add that the Missile Works RTx unit (which is similar to the T3) can use LiPo or a 9-volt, but again Missile Works highlights the use of a LiPo battery.
Might be a good question for them as to that battery requirement.

You may want to read the manual.

Why

Why

Operational Voltage 3.5 volts to 7.4V (3.7V 1S Lipo recommended)

I now see somebody already mentioned the voltage range before my post, so it was not necessary. I did not see it due to being ignored content.

Got it

It's not just the voltage, it's also the current. A GPS tracker with an RF output takes a fair amount of current, which is more than a 9V will usually supply for any length of time. 9V batteries are designed to supply a trickle current for an extended amount of time... they're great for smoke alarms, not so good for continuous high-demand loads.

This isn't the exact one I use, but it's similar. I use one on the xmitter and receiver.

SpeedyFPV has some still. That is where I got mine from when I was in the same boat as you looking for the specific battery noted on their site. Turnigy Nano-tech 1s 750 mah 35c. I specifically wanted that battery so it fit the 3d printed housings Missile Works sells for the T3.

just following up with another source, i get mine from the altus metrum store because i know it won't have the current limiter circuitry on it. They have a couple different capacities.
