Ovonic 5000mAh 2S 50C battery review
This is the new OVONIC 7.4V 5000mAh 50C 2S LiPo battery pack from Ampow. The battery features a hard case design with a 12-gauge pre-wired Deans (T-style) connector and JST-XH balance charge connector. It is rated with a 50C discharge and 100C max burst discharge rate. The battery is a standard “stick pack” with dimensions of 137mm x 45mm x 24mm and weighs in at 302 grams.
This OVONIC pack is ideal 1/10-scale off-road vehicles which use a full-length battery pack (such as short course trucks, monster trucks, and rock crawlers).
This battery pack provided ample run-time in our Traxxas 2wd Slash with a modified motor, and remains well balanced and consistent charge after charge.

Pros:
Very reasonably priced at only $24.99. Plug and play with pre-wired connectors. Clear shrink-wrapped hard case design. Fits most 1/10-scale short course trucks, monster trucks, and rock crawlers.
Cons:
Balance plug has a bulky protection clip that can make placement in the car difficult without removing it.
Final Word:
While this is not our first pick for serious competition, this battery pack works great for someone who is looking to go backyard bashing, upgrade from a NiMh battery pack, and/or looking for a budget-friendly LiPo battery pack.
