Has anybody tried the cheap lipo batteries from http://www.tarabat.com/ ?

They suggest the 4cv 14,8V 8000mAh Lipo fot the Logo 10

Average discharge: 25A
Bursts: 50A

At 230€ it’s a lot cheaper than the thunder power (300€ in Europe).

Yep, I got one for my Logo 10 but returned it for a full refund when I found it wouldn't fit. Tara accepted that recommending this battery for the L10 was a mistake on their part ("We are very sorry to hear about your problem and we admit that it is our fault").

The battery is way too big for the L10 battery bay. It can't go on a battery support sticking out in front as this puts the centre of gravity too far forwards. It doesn't mount underneath either as the cog is too far back if you mount the batt between the front and rear skid braces. If you try to mount it far enough forwards, most of the battery is under the canopy, so there's nothing to attach it to.

Tara suggested I tried one of their z-shaped batteries (4cvz; length 250mm, thickness 48mm, width 46mm, weight 720gr) that they said was specially designed for the L10. It wasn't on their web site at the time, but I'd lost confidence by this point anyway and declined.

I don't know whether the 4cvz would work, but I would say that the people at Tara were always very helpful and responsive (even replying to emails on Sundays) so you could probably give it a shot without much risk.

Hope this helps.
