"Weight- Some readers might also believe that the highest capacity and “C” rate pack will always be heavier. Not so. Do I really need to state examples? Sure! Take our first shootout where the SMC 5000 was lighter than the Speed Power 4000. Or in the second shootout where the JGB 5200 35C was lighter than the Common Sense 5000 40C. Sometimes packs will fall right into line with assumption, but not always, that’s where our hard work comes in handy for you guys looking at buying new packs."

If the packs are hard-cased then you need to take into account that the plastic used and it's thickness may vary somewhat, resulting weights that don’t seem to correspond to what you were expecting. Looking at the pictures from your previous two lipo shootouts it seems that you had a mixture of hard-cased and soft-cased packs both times; go figure that the weights vs mah capacity / C ratings were a bit out of whack.


Well, you tried your best I suppose, but you have a long way to go to impress anyone who does know the difference between series and parallel...
