I paid $128 for a pair of 3s5k 20-30c packs shipped. Neu packs aren't that cheap.

When I say crappy Zippy, I am indeed referring to the construction and not necessarily the cells themselves. No matching, sketchy soldering work, and generally a big possible variation from pack to pack.

I am in no way saying that Zippy isn't a good value. They are cheaper than anything else out there, but you do have to inspect them before use and keep a careful eye on the balance of the pack.
I agree, MaxCramps are garbage. I personally never had the Zippy cells more than .03 out from each other, and that is with a pair of 3s packs in parallel, but I can see where you might need to watch them. I never inspected them. In fact, I left them strapped into my truck even during charging. All experiences will vary, surely, but there are far more great reviews on these packs than harsh ones. If Mike gets his new packs in different sizes, I may take a look at them.


The answer is no. And yes, mine is faster.
