What I mean is... there seems to be talk here lately suggesting that the truerc cells are better than maxamps. I'm suggesting that this is very unlikely.

As of 6 months ago they were indeed the same cells... (4000mah ones and probably the 3000s too) The 4000s were slightly different dimensions to make them 'different' imo. And I'm not the only one to say that.

Maxamps has updated most of their product line to the new "HV" cell with copper + tab. I tend to think it's the same cell as before but with the new tab... and maybe a tweak from the mfg. Cells continue to improve....

Truerc's product is unchanged I believe. I would think the mfg has also made improvements but no "new and improved" claims have been made.

So I don't see how the truerc are now better?? I think they are very much a similar product, as they have been.

Maybe everything has changed in recent months... but this is what I believe right now.

GD,

I dont think anyone was sugesting that the TrueRC cells were "better." Only that they were good enough. I would go as far as to say they are good enough in a 8000mah format. I would NOT sugest the TrueRc cells/packs in the 4000mah format, as I dont feel that they would be able to sustain the current needed in that configuration.

I agree with your assesment thath the Max Amps cells have been updated, and the TrueRc have remained the same. At least as far as what is reported.

Oh, my point was only that the truerc packs are going to be "good enough," and that the truerc packs were inexpensive. Bang for the buck and all that. I just ordered a 5S2P 8Ah pack and it came to just over $200 with shipping.
