+1 for 3.2v/cell. Even then the performance drop for me is noticeable so I end up changing packs before it even hits the lvc.

'noticeable' performance drop.... sounds like you guys need some A123 packs.

I would have gone A123 but they don't bloody fit. Instead lexan covered Lipo.

I can feel the a123 get weaker a minute or 2 before they dump as well. I dont think that they are any better than a decent lipo in that department IMO.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Really? I think you are full of it jhautz I don't notice any performance drop at all, in fact, my 7s1p pack seems to get equal power all the way through... I attribute this to the fact that it warms up a bit and that is why the performance holds up all the way through.

BTW, you have to remember that lipo's are only being discharged to ~90% DOD, and A123's are 100%...

No... I'm not kidding. I can always tell about a minute before they are about to dump. I can just feel that edge drop off and I can say without fail when they are about dead. I typically just stop running when I feel this and recharge rather than pushing them to the edge.
