Choosing The Right Battery Size For Your Hydropro Inception Boat

The HydroPro Inception is a high-performance, water-cooled, brushless-powered deep-vee racing boat. It comes in two versions: Almost Ready to Run (ARR) and Ready to Run (RTR). The ARR version does not include a transmitter or receiver, while the RTR version does. The RTR version is also cheaper than the ARR version.

The Inception is powered by two battery packs, which can be either 2 x 7.4V 5000mAh LiPo batteries or 2 x 11.1V 5000mAh LiPo batteries. The choice of battery pack will affect the speed and performance of the boat. The 7.4V battery pack will provide speeds of around 60km/h, while the 11.1V battery pack will provide speeds of over 80km/h. It is important to use the correct propeller for the chosen battery pack to avoid overloading and damaging the motor and ESC.

The Inception has a hull length of 950mm and a total length of 1060mm. It is made of durable ABS material and features a deep vee design, which provides excellent stability and manoeuvrability. The boat also includes adjustable stainless steel turn fins, a flexible drive shaft, and a water-cooled motor and ESC.

Two 7.4V 5000mAh LiPoly batteries for 60km/h speed

The HydroPro Inception Brushless RTR Deep Vee Racing Boat is a high-performance boat that can reach blistering speeds of over 80km/hr. The boat comes with a powerful brushless water-cooled motor system, a water-cooled 120amp ESC, and a Hobbyking GT2E 2.4GHz digital proportional radio system.

To achieve speeds of 60km/h, you will need two 7.4V 5000mAh LiPo batteries. These batteries will provide the required voltage and capacity to power the boat's motor and ESC, enabling it to reach and sustain the desired speed.

It is important to note that the HydroPro Inception supports two battery/propeller combinations for different high-end speeds. The recommended battery setup for speeds exceeding 60km/h is to use two 7.4V (2S) 5000mAh LiPo batteries in series, resulting in a total voltage of 14.8V. This setup should be used with the supplied P1.4 x 60mm metal propeller.

When using the 7.4V 5000mAh LiPo batteries, it is crucial to follow proper charging, usage, and storage guidelines for LiPo batteries. Always use a LiPo-compatible charger and balance the batteries during charging to ensure equal voltage across all cells. Additionally, do not leave the batteries unattended while charging, and store them at room temperature at 3.8V per cell when not in use for extended periods.

By following the recommended battery setup and safety guidelines, you can safely enjoy the thrilling speeds and performance of the HydroPro Inception Brushless RTR Deep Vee Racing Boat.

Two 11.1V 5000mAh LiPoly batteries for 80km/h speed

The HydroPro Inception is a powerful brushless water-cooled motor system with a 120amp water-cooled ESC capable of blistering speeds of over 80km/hr. The boat comes in a ready-to-run format and includes a Hobbyking GT2E 2.4GHz digital proportional radio system and a powerful 9kg steering servo. The drive from the motor to the highly efficient 2-blade metal propeller is courtesy of a very strong 5mm flexible direct-drive system. Steering is accomplished with an outboard strudder unit. This metal unit supports the propeller end of the flexible drive system parallel to the hull for optimum thrust and can be adjusted slightly for different water conditions. It also places the rudder unit in the optimum position for accurate and controlled steering.

The 2 battery combinations are:

• 2 x 5000mAh 2S (7.4V) in series to give 14.8V. These, with the supplied P1.4 x 60mm metal propeller, will give speeds in excess of 60km/hr.
• 2 x 5000mAh 3S (11.1V) in series to give 22.2V. These, with the supplied P1.4 x 56mm metal propeller, will give speeds in excess of 80km/hr.

It is important to note that you must use the correct propeller for the number of cells you are using. Failure to do so will result in the motor and ESC being overloaded and possibly burning out.

2-cell or 3-cell batteries

The HydroPro Inception Brushless RTR Deep Vee Racing Boat comes with a choice of two battery/propeller combinations for different high-end speeds.

The first option is to use 2 x 5000mAh 2S (7.4V) in series to give 14.8V. These, when combined with the supplied P1.4 x 60mm metal propeller, will give speeds in excess of 60km/h.

The second option is to use 2 x 5000mAh 3S (11.1V) in series to give 22.2V. These, when combined with the supplied P1.4 x 56mm metal propeller, will give speeds in excess of 80km/h.

It is important to note that you must use the correct propeller for the number of cells you are using. Failure to do so will result in the motor and ESC being overloaded and possibly burning out.

2 x 5000mAh 2S (7.4V) in series for 14.8V

The HydroPro Inception Brushless RTR Deep Vee Racing Boat is an electric racing boat that can be powered by two different battery combinations. One of them is 2 x 5000mAh 2S (7.4V) in series for 14.8V. This battery combination is suitable for the boat and will provide good performance and speed.

The 2 x 5000mAh 2S (7.4V) battery setup will give the boat speeds in excess of 60km/h. This is an excellent speed for a boat in this class. The batteries should be connected in series to achieve the required voltage of 14.8V. The positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the other battery, and the free positive and negative terminals are connected to the boat's motor and speed controller.

It is important to note that the correct propeller must be used with this battery setup. The manufacturer recommends using the supplied P1.4 x 60mm metal propeller. Using the wrong propeller can overload and burn out the motor and ESC.

The 2 x 5000mAh 2S (7.4V) batteries should be charged using a suitable charger before use and should be handled with care to avoid damage. They should also be stored and transported properly to ensure they last a long time.

Overall, the 2 x 5000mAh 2S (7.4V) battery combination is a good choice for the HydroPro Inception boat and will provide a balance of speed and performance.

2 x 5000mAh 3S (11.1V) in series for 22.2V

The HydroPro Inception brushless racing boat is a powerful, fast, and stable racing boat. It is capable of speeds of over 80km/h and comes with a 120A water-cooled brushless ESC.

The boat is powered by two battery packs in series, with the option of using either 2 x 5000mAh 2S (7.4V) for a total of 14.8V or 2 x 5000mAh 3S (11.1V) for a total of 22.2V. The 22.2V setup will give you blistering speeds of over 80km/hr.

It is important to note that the correct propeller must be fitted for the number of cells you are using. Failure to do so will result in the motor and ESC being overloaded and possibly burning out.

The 22.2V setup uses the P1.4 x 56mm metal propeller, which is included with the boat. This propeller is specifically designed for use with the 22.2V battery configuration and will provide the necessary thrust and efficiency to achieve the high speeds that the HydroPro Inception is capable of.

The 5000mAh 3S (11.1V) batteries provide the ideal voltage and capacity for the HydroPro Inception brushless racing boat. This setup will allow you to experience the full potential of the boat's powerful brushless motor and ESC while maintaining a good balance of speed and run time.

It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and use the correct battery and propeller combinations to ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity of your HydroPro Inception brushless racing boat.
