Thanks for your reply. Have a local hobby shop I’ll check for a premade or cobble one up myself. Thanks again!

DAYSTATE Redwolf Replacement battery on the cheap .. more "Cap" too !

No offense to anyone but if someone can drop nearly 3 grand on an air rifle a 50 dollar battery should be nothing.

Good point .. but when said battery should be @ $20, getting scalped at $50 makes one bitch !!No offense to anyone but if someone can drop nearly 3 grand on an air rifle a 50 dollar battery should be nothing.

The battery in the rifle is honestly no more than a $10 part. I have batteries for my Rc planes that are the same size but larger capacity and cost less. It would be really nice if the wires went back into the butt of the rifle instead of the grip. You could fit a much larger battery inside and not have to worry about the grip breaking.

Since we are talking batteries,
Does anyone know where i could get a little battery wire extension for my Alpha wolf? I have large hands and it's almost impossible to remove the little battery plug. I know better than to just pull on the wires.

You could just take the rifle out of the stock and extend the wires. Just make sure you get your red and black wires on the right pad.

That’s easy! Those connectors are called JST-XH. all Chinese R/C site has it… search “JST-XH 3S extension” and BANG!

So I have the below battery coming. Now I would like to know more about charging as I am pretty clueless. Can I use the stock DS charger to charge this or should I get a RDX1 mini? I have a current model DS RW which has the 11.1 v battery. I assume if I use the DS charger I just use the JST connector but then I am not really taking good care of the battery? Your help is greatly appreciated thanks

Best wishes on that battery... the length can be no longer than 105 mm and that will be tight. IF it fits, it's unlikely to be actually 2000 mAh. Highest cap I could find that would fit was 1100 mAh. I look for max size of 16 x 20 x 105 mm.
The high output wires will need to be trimmed close and insulated. This must be done with great care so not to short the wires in the process or on use. These batteries are capable of HUGE power output.
On the care, there are several threads on here that have contributions from very experienced people... google is your buddy here.

If I was to use this type of battery (the same as in my RC cars), I would use a balanced charger and leave the high power leads intact, if it will still fit in the Red Wolf. If not, I believe the standard DS charger will work.

Thanks @Arzrover & @Martin3528. Hopefully it will fit. I was thinking about getting a balanced charger as it would seem to give the batteries the longest life possible. Hopefully it fits and I don’t need to return it.

Thanks @Arzrover luckily the battery fit it is 105mm+ but it was the 21mm width that made it snug fit. I could press it in with minimal pressure and the pull it out with the heavier connector. I saw no indications of rubbing on the sides of the battery, it is bit thinner. I may take the stock off and widen the opening, won’t take much at all.
@Martin3528 I did leave the leads on and purchased a charger. I wasn’t sure which way I was going to go until your comment, thanks.
Now I just need to find a premade wire set that will allow me to charge the Daystate OEM battery with the single JST XH connector With the new charger.

Cool that it fits...
I acknowledge that there are design tradeoffs that may allow for a little higher density but 800 and 2000 mAh being the same essential size is a bit comical to me. If your charger would also discharge, you could measure the ACTUAL capacity. Is it really important... probably not...
A real concern here is that these batteries swell a little under normal charge/discharge cycles. A tight fit COULD be an issue down the road.
Anyway... glad it fits. I've purchased 9 so far and didn't pay close attention to the dimensions or they lied so I have 3 that won't fit. They're not worth sending back... maybe I can find another use for them. Delta Wolf is very critical for fit... the Red Wolf is a bit more forgiving.

After a second fitting it fits perfect with a little room. I had allowed the wires to get in the way, once out of the way it Was perfect

As original poster on these batteries ... and also a Racer of 1/8 scale R/C buggies using high discharge / charge Lipo's, They won't swell with use unless your abusing charge rates and discharge values of the cells rating.
Yes get an inexpensive Balance charger, your voltage stability & batteries service life will thank you

Yep got the balanced charger, would like to find a pre wired set so I could use the new charger with the OEM battery.As original poster on these batteries ... and also a Racer of 1/8 scale R/C buggies using high discharge / charge Lipo's, They won't swell with use unless your abusing charge rates and discharge values of the cells rating.

Thanks for sharing your information got my battery ordered for $17.95 eBay yay meMore CAPACITY ... 2000 mah / 3s / 30c rating verses the factory 800 mah / 3s / 20c
I lost 1 cell in my factory battery & needed a replacement .... No where could I find a replacement battery that ONLY came with a 4 pin balanced charging plug and NO primary power connector that's typically used in LiPo
Well then ... lets search for a similar sized 3s battery with the smallest / shortest Power lead ? FOUND ONE with a mini power lead and connector.
See: https://www.ebay.com/itm/384845724554
For less than $20 to my door was worth a gamble ... SCORE !!!
The Factory Daystate battery ( From AOA ) is $50 plus postage I'll assume. This one is 2 1/2 times the capacity !! and 1/2 again greater current output ( amp draw ) for less than $20 My Heliboard equipped wolf is now rockin it .... Refresh has never been so quick. Seeing about 2 seconds+ there about.
NOW BE AWARE .... My Redwolf is a Standard, tho has the 11.1 Volt battery ... if you have an HP ? and battery it uses is similar and connects via the 4 pin balance lead for primary connection you should be good to go.
THIS IS JUST AN FYI on what I found out and upgraded too .... Your ability to do the same is Your Responsibility to determine.

That's awesome that you've got a balanced charger for your R/C buggies! Using a pre-wired set with your new charger sounds like a smart move. It can make charging much more convenient, especially when you're out racing. Have you had any luck finding a compatible pre-wired set for your OEM battery?
If not, reaching out to the manufacturer or checking out hobby shops might be worth a shot. They might have what you need or be able to point you in the right direction. Another option could be to look online on websites that specialize in R/C parts and accessories like https://www.batterypkcell.com/li-polymer-battery/. Sometimes they have custom or hard-to-find items that could fit your needs.
