I agree here, I've taken apart several of mine and a few friends MA packs and the workmanship was pretty Shizitty. Cold solder joints, tab to tab joints questionable at best. One I found the one balance wire was on by a solder thread.

I have a few MaxAmps packs and there is nothing different about them compared to any other Lipo pack purchased from China or Korea. I think the reason they get alot of the business is because of the advertising, the way they wrap and package their packs, and because alot of people think that by buying American that it is helping our economy. What they do not know is that the cells actually do come from China or Korea. So once again we are in the delema because the cells are foreign, but the packs are assembled in the USA. Leaving people to think they are buying an American made product. Not 100% ture USA made. Considering the markup of MaxAmps I only bought the first few packs when I first got into the hobby. Once I really looked into the Lipo business I decided not to purchase something that is priced with such inflated amounts for no good reason. Thats just my 2 cents since I do have some MA packs. Outside of that I do not have any issues with them as a company.
