What I don't get is how we are supposed to magically believe these new cells are "the thing". It's not like prior experience encourages trying again. Usually, people that have a bad experience (or multiple bad experiences) in the past are a little leary of trying again solely based on a company's word. Sorry, but that's the truth. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. If I buy several Fords and have constant problems with each, you can be damn sure I won't buy another one in the future even if the dealer says all the issues are resolved! Same idea here.
I was more than willing to remain civil/professional/diplomatic, but when words were shoved in my mouth, I took offense. And to add insult to injury, was then challenged to provide examples! Like I would just regurgitate what other people said just to get on the bash MA bandwagon! That did it. Don't ask a question and then pout when you hear an answer you don't like! When/if Mike sees this, he can chastise me, but I have to call it like I see it, repercussions be damned.
I agree, the only way to put this to bed would be to have Austin send a test pack to someone to provide graphed results reflecting the claims. Even if they do perform like claimed, that doesn't change the results of past cell testing.

I have been watching/editing this thread from the beginning. Deleted some stuff each time I check in, but most of the thread has been reasonably civil. I was glad to see Austin here, actually. In my experience(phone, in person, etc.), Austin is a good guy. I hope he chooses to support his stuff here and address the concerns many folks here have stated - Surely he can't be on these forums fighting this battle day in and day out, though. And the occasional "cheap shots" that some folks can't help themselves with aren't gonna motivate anyone to come here and fight a losing battle. Keep the comments professional and factual or don't expect Austin to comment much.
If you have an experience that you want Austin to comment on or reconcile, then post it in a non-offensive manner and avoid the name-calling and "Jason" comments - Jason isn't in this thread, and Jason isn't the company diplomat - he is the marketing guy - tough to argue his effectiveness at this task. If Austin wants to post graphs, donate packs or otherwise substantiate Maxamps battery claims, then he will do so. This is his choice - not an obligation. Name calling, bashing and inapproriate comments surely won't motivate him to donate anything(info or otherwise), so keep these comments to yourself.
