So to start off both Venom and Maxamps use chinese cells. Early maxamps cells were not maxamps labeled on the foil, but newer ones are. They have steadily increased the weight and thickness of the same mah rated cells. So the c ratings of the early cells were very low 10c or less. I would never say that they have had a true 20c pack, at least none of the packs I have rebuilt or used.

Enerland cells were designed and built in Korea until recently when they opened a chinese facility. This is due to the chinese having large quantities of the raw materials necessary to make lipo. Plus they have loose laws on such production making it cheaper to make lipo. The enerland design is far superior to the chinese design, no way around that. Plus the quality control is better, why you do not see so many puffed cells. The chinese are getting better, the latest selection of great performing zippy lipos prove that. QC is still not where it needs to be with the chinese products, but considering the price you cannot really complain. I have seen alot of cell tabs come loose inside the foil on zippies, never seen that on an enerland cell.

These are the companies that sell enerland cell packs, other than polyquest, all are purchased as separate cells and assembled by the respective companies. Flightpower, Thunderpower (save for the 40c) Polyrc, Polyquest, Hyperion. Flightpower have a very intensive testing and matching procedure, probably why their stuff is considered the best.

Maxamps product is sub standard compared to almost everything else out there, and the price is just plain silly. Their matching, assembly and product leave alot to be desired. This is not conjecture, I have torn done 100s of maxamps packs and reconfigured them for others so that they can salvage some of their investment.
