Zippy battery cell quality - RC-Monster Forums

I just got my 25C 5000mah 3S flightmax lipo with a full charge and tried it out in my emaxx. I recorded a 120A peak at 10.13V. Thats actually not a bad voltage for a burst current which was me full throttle. Oh ya my truerc pack 8000mah 15C was at around 6.4V for the 120A spike. My Truerc pack has outperformed many other lipos I have owned. I would say these flightmax packs are legit. The volt drop per cell is less in the 5000mah pack than the paralleled 4000mah cells that the 8000mah pack is running. So about .3V per cell drop vs .5V per cell drop in the truerc pack. I'm sure these numbers will drop a bunch after the cells have been discharged a bit, but its still some good numbers for the flightmax.

Has anyone tried the 3500mah 4S 30C packs?

According to the dimensions posted, they should fit the E Revo - E maxx compartments for a nice parallel setup.

Using 2 packs, that would make for a high discharge setup at 7000mah.

The thing that worries me, often they are a little bigger than the sizes they list.

Anyone know?

If they do fit, your arm would get tired before your batts. run out

In other words...PERFECT SET UP!

I just received a pair of the Vislera Brand that are identical to the Zippy 3500mah, but they are bigger than advertised.

This is because they used sponge tape between the cells. So the packs are thicker.

I'm tempted to take them apart and remove that.

They will fit, but just barely. It's quite a job to get the doors shut. LOL

The good thing is, they don't break a sweat. They don't even get warm really. I have a feeling I'm not pushing them at all.
