I remember seeing trueRC pack when he first made it.. and I saw hecell on it... I'm about 99.999% sure of this... and I betif you were to look @ maxamps first packs, I bet they were hecell batteries as well... but I'm only 99.999% sure of this..

Interesting, I wonder if anyone else has input on this?

Ok, found a pic of a hecell 4000 mah cell. The numbers on it look to be just the same as a maxamps cell. So I guess that you can buy the same cell for almost half the price. Wow, maxamps really are a great deal! NOT!

I wish I still had the pics of the maxmaps cells that I took apart. I may have it on my pc at work, and will check tomorrow.

But isnt the shrinkwrap and label worth the extra $$?....

Hey Thanks Guys! I am a cheap Bastard so It looks like HeCells are my next adventure in the Land of Lipo. Like I said I went cheap so if I F'd up a batt it wouldn't be major $$$$. Being a Lipo newbee. I don't want to buy a High Dollar pack and FRY IT!!!

Here's my charging setup:
MRC 989 w/ Yuntong Smart Balancer

Best charger I have ever owned. Not bad for $150 NEW

Thanks Agin Jeff

Hey Linc. I think you're probably onto something here.

I have ran True RC packs in the E maxx before. All the while hearing everyone say 10C packs aren't all that good. They always performed good for me, but I stayed within the ratings with them.

I've never tried Maxamps packs because of their inflated pricing, but I have and do run 20C packs that are great quality.

If those are the same cells that Maxamps uses, it's no wonder why the disappointment.

It also explains Maxamps being elusive about discharge graphs and performance results. They are too "busy" for that.

When a product is "under-rated", it's users will hopefully consider this in fitting it to the application. Less Abuse = Longer Life = Greater Satisfaction

When a product is "over - rated", it's users will place it in an application expecting it to live up to it's ratings, but it doesn't. Over Current = Puffing = Very Short Life = Disappointment
