Since that is the case, we are going to post on the website exactly how we rate our packs and all the information we have regarding our C ratings.

Why not put this information on the Lipo themselves as well? This makes more sense to me if you still want to be able to compare them to the rest of the market. Would this cause too many problems and confusion with the marketing setups?

All the information will be posted on the LiPo care page probably by Thursday.

That right there is my issue with MA's rating system. Even they don't know which cells are being advertised at continuous, burst, and surge ratings. At least the rest of the market is on the same playing field for advertisement and labeling. I know this is the main reason for the lipo's being marketed at their "True" or Surge rating. Hell, if I didn't know better I'd buy the pack that's advertised at 150C versus one at 30C.


Brandon, don't take this post offensively as well. I'm merely making suggestions which would help equivocate the market as well as the consumer.
