Is it really cheaper to buy a 10s or 12 2200 mah pack vs a 4s, 5s or 6s 5000mah pack? Seems like you are just trading cell size for cell quanitity and the price will shake out about the same.



I'll put it this way... If the 12s 200amp controller was the same price as the 6s 200 amp controller Id buy the 12s all other things being equal. But if the 12s controller costs twice as much I'll stick with 6s.

A 12S 100A would be the same as a 6S 200A controller in terms of power and they can be made to be the same price, it all depends on the company making them. With so many people buying 8000, you will see that going with the smaller packs helps a lot in terms of price, weight and placement of the packs in your veicle. Example: 2 3S 8000mAh ($235.48 and 545 grams each)= $470.96 and 1090 grams, now 2 6S 2200mAh ($149.99 and 340 grams each)= $299.98 and 680 grams. The 8000mAh packs each have the following dimensions: 44mm X 137mm X 38mm. The 2200mAh packs each have the following dimensions: 51mm X 33mm X 107mm. jhautz with this little info would you still vote for LV or would you go with HV?
