Time for an update on the battery pack.

The original pack is still kicking butt after abuse. One cell reads a bit lower then the rest, but that was to be expected with the 3.0V cutoff. The pack would of lasted longer with a 3.2v cutoff. I still charge the pack at 30A.

Now to the skinny with ACEpow. Build quality has gone down ever since they started to sell to hobbypartz. Cut throat pricing has lead to laying off half or more of the employees. The new packs don't have matched cells anymore. I even have one brandnew pack with a death balancing lead.
