True C rating and actual listed C rating are two different things- they are actually listed as 75C continuous & 150C burst; the true continuous & burst rating is much likely down towards 30c/50c....



@ Mindthoughts- you might wanna change your youtube message you left on that maxamps video- you were clearly far too impressed by that massive pack starting an engine, when we've already been over the issue; a dogturd could start a dragster engine, and it wouldnt use over $1000 worth of batts to do so...

Word... I'm liking my Hyperion lipo more and more each day.

I see your point. Even if the Drag Racers in the you tube video are using three- 4cell LiPo's run in parallel(14.8volts total voltage- combined)- at 676grams each- times three = just under five pounds. It may not be worth the 220.oo dollars times three = 660.oo dollars to have a five pound battery- rather than a battery that weighs much more than that- in the Lead Acid Chemistries. But then again- some racers are willing to pay allot of money to save a few pounds. And a 12 or 16volt Lead Acid Battery Can Sure Get Quite Heavy. What would a lead acid Drag Race Battery Weigh? 30+ Pounds? I didn't see any specifications of battery weights for 12v or 16v Drag Race Batteries.

PS. I sure like the sound of those Dragsters :)

Note: It seems the single Turnigy LiPo Starting the automobile engine- was certainly quite impressive- to say the least :)
