So going with the highest c rated pack (as long as it is true) will have the lowest internal resistance and hopefully last that way. Plus if you paln to run a certain output (watts) a higher c rated battery will have more headroom than a lower on will, and should perform better and not be pushed as hard, and last longer.

So C rating matters. I would rather run a 1000c battery than a 10c if all other factors (weight, size, etc) were the same.[/QUOTE

In an ideal world where there is a standard for C rating it would matter, but right now anyone can claim anything. C rating between manufacturers is almost meaningless. You cant compare a 40C ebay brand lipo with a 10C truerc lipo. The 10C truerc battery will blow it away. I think we are both on the same page when you say, "as long as it is true". I think manufacturers have a different idea of what "continuous" means, even though it seems pretty clear to me what continuous means.

Just remember, the people printing the labels in this case, are NOT the manufacturer.

I have yet to see a manufacturer dare to tippy toe beyond the 40C-45C mark.

A Manufacturer won't last long making claims they don't stand behind.

It only costs a few extra bucks to upgrade the wiring to something like 4 gauge wire and 8mm gold bullet connectors. Why is this considered so out of question to hobbyists?

[BrianG]

lol, 4GA. The wiring and connectors will weigh more than the pack itself.

[whitrzac]

we were promised graphs plenty of times...

I see 1 graph that is not even a 10c discharge....

6mm wire diameter is really that bad? If you're running the high amperage that these batteries claim to put out, the wiring would be worth the added weight.

whiners

Seriously everyone take a breather.

Yes everyone is skeptical, everyone has to right to be.
Yes he should have posted graphs before selling.
Yes 75C is ridiculous.
Yes MA doesn't have the best ''track record''.
Yes Brandon has other things to do than deliver prove to some users on RCM about pack performance.

You guys are all grinding over the same stuff over and over and over and over and over again, it's getting old fast. Lets try and see if we can all manage to stop worrying about the MA pack and get on with other more fun things huh. When Bradon has the time to post up a graph he will. After we can discuss what's what but until than just chill.

[Arct1k]

Amen!

[gixxer]

To me its simple. Until Maxamps can prove that there pack is even close to there claims they don't get my money.

[suicideneil]

I appreciate Mike stepping up to do his own tests on the MA packs vs some hyperions, this is the best bit of impartial testing you can hope for really since Mike sells many different brands, isnt biased towards anyones in particular. Its one thing for all of us guys to jump up and down about the ratings being BS, but a good comparison by a store owner will be sink or swim for MA- either they'll earn some respect ( pricing is still nuts though ), or be trashed by the whole internet once those graphes come out- long term results & testing will be important too however ( no good if those packs die after 40 runs like alot of cheapy packs are... ).

[bryan]

Ton of drama! I'm sure Brandon will find somthing to graph, and when Mr. Mike gets caught up from being away he will as well. I see no more reason to bash or ask untill one of the above has any information on these packs.

[Bondonutz]

Despite what the graphs and videos prove(not going to hold my breath) I think the only way your going to win back the RCM crowd is free lipos for all members whom have purchased from MA in the past. You guys should have all purchases on record, so I'll be expecting mine some time soon. JK

Waiting patiently for you Brandon, lay your cards on the table and lets see what you got ?
