JT my post was off subject towards the zippy lipos, someone else ahd already answered your question. i was just questioning how much usable mah the zippy had compared to others.

and Neil,
my flightpower 5s 5000 use to hold 4950 mah if i dumped it to 15.5 volts (3.1v cutoff same as i always use) heck even my maxamps 3s 5000 will hold a FULL 5000mah if i take it down to 9.3 volts. my question was valid in that why do the zippys only hold 3300-3500mah after they are taken to the cutoff when they are rated for 4800.

?????? i thought it was pretty good question ........ i mean i didnt think there was a set in stone standard for rating lipo capacity, i thought it was up to each manufacturer and i was pointing out that the some brands seem to rate their packs by usable mah while others seem to be rated in TOTAL mah as if you took them all the way down and not just to a 3-3.2v cutoff......... is that clearer on my question?
