8s packs :yipi:

Higher C rate is more desirable but it's a start !

Darn, my Hyperion 720 will on charge 7s packs...

Glad to see improvements tho!

I would like to see them have higher mah packs. 8k would be nice for my 2s 10th scale setups.

Considering most 8000+ mah packs are actually 2 packs just paralleled and packaged together. It's actually not a good idea and is problem since you are balance the 2 cells paralleled together as 1 single cells.

Now if they develop a 8000mah single cell, then sure!

i just noticed this - not sure if it's new or not, but wow is this a must-have!

That battery monitor is sweet.

Definitely. Would be great for early detection of problems. You could see a particular cell was starting to behave erratically and bring the vehicle in before anything worse happened.

I get a kick out of some of the user reviews for this one.

the other bonus is it has an audible alarm right there on the radio when the cells hit the 3v/cell cutoff, so you know when to bring it in. no need to watch/listen for the lvc in the car/truck/heli/whatever and miss not hearing it (if you don't immediately notice a performance drop). plus it's only $60. i love eagletree, but their system like this is almost 10 times that.

you mean to tell me that i just ordered 4x 4s 5ah 25C lipo's and i could have got a couple of 8s packs?

Just orderd 5 monitor dealie-o'sfor the Hobby Shop I work for and one formyself :whistle:

Anybody see the 30C 5Kmah Hard packs for $39.99 ???

Do they have the battery monitor for a 2 pack setup? That would be awesome on my Monster GT. I wonder it it provides real time readings too, so if you nail the throttle, you can see your voltage drop?

EDIT: Never mind, just read that it does provide real time readings. That is awesome. I need one of these but I need one for dual packs....

Seems like a very useful tool though, especially for people who race 1/8 electrics with a single pack.

All it does is plug into the balance port of the lipo. If you have multiple packs, just get a converter plug that takes you 2- 2s lipos and makes 1 4s lipo plug. Its quite simple to make as well.

I have 4 of those 4S packs on the way. I'll have to snap some pics and give some feedback on here when they come in.

I grabbed 2 myself, now I guess I can sell a couple older packs ?
