I have an Eagle Tree now and I'd like to test my MaxAmps packs to see how they do.

Do I just run them hard from full charge to LVC then do some kind of calculation from the data pulled?

Well, from what I have read, run a full pack thru and post the graph. What I am looking for is what amp load pulls the cell voltage down below 3.5v. I figure that if the pack cannot handle its rated load with cells dropping below 3.5v it is not correctly rated.

What maxamps packs do you have? And what setup do you run these packs on.

(4) 2s 6000
(1) 2s 5000
(1) 3s 5000 - A cell appears to have died, so this will likely soon be a 2s 5000
(1) 2s 2100 - Axial AX-10/bl-RC18MT
(1) 2s 1550 - Vendetta ST(currently stock, bl on order)
(1) 3s 1550 - Axial AX-10/bl-RC18MT

The larger packs run in a few different vehicles:

-Stock 3905 E-maxx
-BL-Revo (MM/9XL)
-Kyosho Kanai 3 (MM/8XL)
-CRT.5 (MM/CC4600)
-RS4 (Sidewinder/CC5700)

I just confirmed with Dan of TrueRC that his cells are the same as MaxAmps.
