Ok, I understand we are talking about braking. It was my understanding that the voltage spikes that are produced during braking need to be absorbed by the battery. A battery with a high IR will not be able to absorb the voltage spikes as well, and that can lead to damage to the TVS and eventually cause the MMM to fail. I do agree that CC need to spec specific brand batteries, as that will likely be the only true cure. But the customer needs to be informend, and I always see that as the responsibility of the customer. If you do research before you buy something no one calls out the mfg for that... This is a hobby, and it is generally understood that if you want to participate you need some sort of intelligence. So expecting everything to be written down might be a bit much.
I cannot believe the heat issues that would be had using nimhs with the stock gearing on a flux, but they still say it can be done... Not the best idea if you ask me...
