I know why your maxamps packs took so much more mah back during the charge.
But I am not going to tell you why, cause i am a Dick. Not a Richard, just an a-hole who knows something and will not share cause he was an only child and sharing is for sissies that cannot man up and beat the snot out of other little kids who want their stuff.
Ok, all of that is true but...I guess I can tell you. Just don't go posting this on a public forum and let everyone know that i am a nice guy who cares.
Your maxamps packs took so much more juice due to ... Balancing!!!!
Yeah (lots of clapping and screaming) we have a winner.
Keep in mind that as the charge puts the juice back in the pack it does so as a complete pack. The balancer places a draw on the higher voltage cells in order to bring them down to the level of the lower voltage (in maxamps case, improperly matched or weak cells) cells, just like our public school system.
So if you have a few cells way out of balance the charge just keeps charging and the balancer circuit sucks it back out. The charger keeps track of the total MAH put in, but does not factor for the losses generated bu the balancer.
So I can imagine your maxamps packs were way out of balance, due to the 20 amp load you unrealistically asked them to produce (Jeff, you are a douche for this, Jason at MA will never cuddle with you again).
I have had this issue. I had some maxamps 10000mah packs back when it was cool to own maxamps. I used a 3s pack on a emaxx with a 9l and 35mph gearing and it took 22hrs and god knows how much charging to get the pack back in balance. If I had owned the cheap hobby city 4 channel charger back then i could have done a 2amp charge for 5hrs or so and got the pack back in balance easily, but all I had was a ICE and a hyperion charge thru balancer. Ah the old days.
I hope you enjoy your cuddle-free weekends now, I bet jason is curled up in a ball crying cause of what you did to his packs. You really are a heartless bastid...
