Gimbal Batterys.

I just got a gimbal from ( China) It looks great and came with a 8 bit controller but did not say what battery to use. Please help so I don't fry my stuff. Thanks

Mostly a 3S LiPo battery will do the job.

I'm using this battery: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__23813__Turnigy_nano_tech_2500mAh_3S1P_5_10C_Transmitter_Lipo_Pack.html
I've cut the double battery-plugs and re-soldered this to one XT60 plug.

The main reason why I'm using this battery has to do with the total weights and performance.
(less weights and more power instead with other same sized LiPo battery's)

I got one of these batteries:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rechargeable-Li-ion-Battery-4800mAh-Charger/dp/B00BWW4DGC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425893678&sr=8-1&keywords=12V+DC+Rechargeable+Li-ion+Battery+Pack+for+CCTV+Camera+4800mAh+with+UK+Plug+Charger

I cut the cable at one end and connected to the Basecam board. With 4800mah power this battery lasts a while. The battery even has a simple on/off power switch which I use instead of unplugging all the time.

how did the li-ion battery end up working for you? Did you just solder the cable directly to your board, or did you use a connector?

Howdy, Stranger!
