MaxAmps Race Edition Lipos

[suicideneil]

Pretend to be from an RC magazine, and ask them loads of questions you know they wont be able to answer, like what the actual continuous rating is on their 150c batts ( its 75c, 150c burst ), what voltage the cells hold at 75c current draw ( any size pack- smaller mah capacity is easier to test ), what their warranty stance is ( they claim using lipos in r/c is experimental so no warranty is offered, but then they also offer you a warranty which is pretty crappy ), ask them about the lack of discharge graphes to prove their performance claims and ask them about their state-of-the-art facility where they assemble the packs

I'd also show them a graph of the lipos holding 3.75v @ 22.5c discharge and query how they could possibly be labled as 75c packs since the voltage would drop way below 3.0v per cell.

Also definitely make sure you ask them how any of their cells can output 150c for 3 minutes when they would be flat within 24 seconds:

The bull*hit being slung around in this hobby is amazing.


(BTW - at 150C discharge, a battery would go from completely charged to completely dead in 24 seconds. )
