Hi everyone,
I'm part of a Formula Student team and we're building a hybrid formula car. For the battery pack, I wanted to investigate using RC batteries, since they get much better power density both charging and discharging than anything else commercially. I was absolutely amazed when I found the Turnigy Nano-Tech Plus batteries with 70C discharge and 30C! charge. For a race car with regenerative breaking, that would be great. However, here's the problem:
The competition requires a datasheet with at least the min and max battery voltage, max discharge and charge current, and the allowable temperature range for charging and discharging.
I tried contacting pretty much every Li-Po manufacturer I found (including literally every Li-Po distributor in my country, the Czech Republic), including: Amewi, df models, E-flite, gensacearespammers/tattu, Himoto, HPI Racing, Kavan, KOnect, LRP/Nosram, Onyx, Ruddog, Spektrum (same contact as ruddog), Spektrum, Team Corally, Team Orion, Traxxas and of course, Turnigy (they don't list a contact on their website, tried HobbyKing). However, the only one that has been able to actually provide a datasheet so far is HPI Racing, hats off to them.
So that's where I'm at and why I'm turning to you. Please, if you have any information about how to contact any company that makes good Li-Pos, especially Turnigy, have any experience how to get datasheets for Li-Pos or even have the actual datasheets, I'd be extremely grateful for the help.
