Maxamps and Neuenergy lipo testing - RC-Monster Forums

lincpimp · 04.07.2008, 04:28 AM

Well, the neu pack has a handful of cycles on it. Not sure on the maxmaps pack, but lipos are supposed to be good for quite a few cycles before they start to lose potency. I guess that I could buy a new maxamps lipo for this test, but I do not think that I want to give them any more money.

Well it is nice to see that you are putting your free time to good use linc, and with the assistance of a few good butler monkies it should not take long at all. This matter could actually end up being a good subject to get published into one of the R/C magazines for circulation so everyone could read it. I would be willing to bet that the entire community would love to see/hear the results of such a test. Especially for consideration of any new purchases that are being considered at this point. With the pending release of the MMM and the Tekin Pro1MT I know I would like to make sure that I am buying the best packs available for my money. We appreciate the selfless sacrifice that you are about to embark upon in an effort to help us all. Thank you pimp and keep us posted Sir.

But on the other hand...

Yeah right... It would be nice... They have the meane to test their cells performance, but they chose to let the ad dept do the talking. If the maxamps guy was saying that their cells puffing ability was superior to enerland cells than he is right on!

Thanks Jerry, I had to let the monkey butlers go after an unfortunate accident involving feeces and my slippers. Never mind, I will ge tht ehouse sprayed for fleas and move on...

In all likelyhood I can image the critisism that this test will draw. I am biased, as we all knowe (sarcasm) so I am sure that the various lovers of maxamps will have something to say. I may make a duplicate thread on the nitrokillers forum, but that may be going to far. I wonder if the admin (jason) would delete it? Here I go again, stirring the pot!

OK heres the thing linc. Anytime you match up two competitors that are battling for their piece of the pie you are going to stir up some controversy no matter how fairly you run your testing

. You are going to get some criticisum and arguements from one side or the other

. Especially if one side comes out looking like S*$& with egg on their faces

. All you can do is try your best to remain impartial in your lab work so to speak

. Once your analisys is completed, no matter what the results I think you should post up on the nitrokillers and any other site who is involved with or uses these cells. The worst they can do is lock out the thread

, but it may just force whoever comes out looking bad to change something in the way they are making their products to compete for their place at the table

. Lets be real here. What you are about to do (testing) has the ability to cause some serious problems $$$$ for someone out there

. The truth will set thee free. This is surely going to be ineresting from the cheap seats

Well, as far as comparing the two mfg packs, that is not really the point of my test. I am comparing the stuff inside the heatshrink, to the little sticker with the writing on it that is stuck to the heatshrink.

My main point is to esablish what kind of discharge these packs can hadle and still retain voltage. My seat of the pants testing seems to point to the enerland cells holding voltage better under load, but I would like some hard data to support this. I may continue testing past these two packs, but lack the variety of maxamps packs I once had.
