My friend got his replacement MMM back from CC last week and told me that there was a new piece of paper inside the box. I have attached it for you here.
Essentially, CC is now saying "We aren't going to name names, but don't use cheap lipos or bad things can be expected to happen!". Which is something we have known all along. My question is about their minimum recommendation of 4000mah 20C cells. If they are stating that the MMM can sometimes demand 100 amps in peaks and that you should always stay at 80A Continuous or LOWER, why is it that everyone seems to always recommend 25-30C packs? If I'm supposed to try and stay at 80 or lower, then my 5000mah 25C Flightpower packs are overpowered according to this graph right?
5A x 25C =125 x 80% = 100. I guess I'm just confused.
It makes me wonder if they think the reason so many MMM's are failing are because of cheap batteries or overpowered batteries? All I know, is that once I get my MMM back, which should be soon, and get my Neu either fixed or replaced, I'm going to continue running 6s, but I'm gearing way down. I'll probably pickup a couple 2s packs and run them as 4s too.
There are tons of people out there running the MMM system with no problems. The ones that have, it's hard to say just why it happened I guess.
