You should be okay with that battery. The 2200's will balance perfectly, but 300mah is not going to make much difference. Just make sure to check the CoG after you put it in to make sure it's level.

Thanks Tony, The 2200's are ot of stock go figure so i'm going to buy the 2500 battery
Thanks Eric

I think you will be okay with that 2500 pack. I'm not sure thought, it is longer and wider, but it's thinner. Also, it weighs 50g more than the 2200. however below are some links to some 2200's. xheli, hobbyparts, nitroplanes and nitrorcx are the same company just fyi.

I'm sure the 30c will be enough, but the 40c will give you room to play with. I'm telling you people, you are going to make me get another clone just so I can fly again lmao.

I use the 2200 mah 25C GensAce. They fit snug under the Align canopy. You may have to put the battery a little higher on the battery mount for it to fit. As far as the motor goes you want to know the wattage of it, that's the number that will determine your amp draw on the battery. I have a 3000Kv motor rated at 300 watts, with the 11.1 volts the battery supplies I have just over 27 amps of draw. 300w/11.1v = 27.03 amps (rounded).

Also the GensAce battery that I have has a 5c charge rate, but I am limited to 4.5 amps due to the charger. I also fly about 4.5 minutes and end up putting back in about 1400 mah give or take. I also changed my connectors to ultra deans, I do not recommend doing this if you are new to soldiering.
