50C+ SMC pack, unclear whether Cont., or burst?

I wouldn't hold my breath for 50C Cont. packs just yet, so is it burst rating? Or sustained discharge?

I really find it irritating that retailers don't provide this kind of information.

Everywhere I've read about them packs, says they're 50C Continuous.. but I don't beleive SMC myself... I've seen quite a few failures with their packs at our local RC Club... but I guess you never know... LOL, maybe it's 50C continuous alright.. for 3 seconds... :lol:

if that battery can produce the current it says, why the deans plug on it that would hinder on the kind of amps it would produce

Well, it's not about the amps that a person cares about, we have had enough amps for a few years now... it's the voltage under load which matters, that is what gives you your punch, and top end power/torque, be it in a aircraft, or surface vehicle. On the other hand, we are pretty close to having all the power we can use now anyways, for instance, a pack like a HP G3, or TP 40C will hold over 3.7v/cell at quite large loads for a good portion of the discharge.

I have read on some forums that the cell manufacturer is for SMC is exclusive, SMC only. So I would like forum member on RCGroups 'everydayflyer' to review these things.

deja vu-doo

I think SMC is making bogus ratings, but not to them. For instance, 50c cont with 3.1v/cell. I hope they don't turn into another maxamps, but that's where they're heading... :diablo:
