I have some graphs showing a voltage rise w/ my MGM 9032 and 10A A123 a while back. Nothing huge, but noticeable.

I always loved my MGM. Tons of power and it barely ever got warm. 110F at most. HV did help a lot. Very solid controller, water proof/resistant coating also.

It should be understood too that at the time, there was very little choices for controllers. You had the cheap MM that worked pretty well for 4S (and was a relief when that came even,) a pricey Novak that thermaled easy and wasn't fast, but if you wanted more than that you had to get a $$$ controller. Things have changed really quickly. Go back to threads from even 2007 and see how it was. 2005 may well have been the BL equivalent of the 1920's Flatheads for gas powered engines.
