Lipo repair

Well, once they puff they are done. You can try running it, but it puffed for a reason, so you will most likely puff it more.

Like I said, sell the good one, and you can send me the bad one and I can make a 3s 3000 pack out of it and then you can sell it too, or use it in something low draw. That way you can get some money back out of them.

You really need better packs, as your setup is most likely too potent for those 6000 packs.

Almost any setup is too potent for those older 6000 packs, IMO. I hear the newer ones are much better though.

Jason from maxamps told you that, huh...

Nope, Austin. He said they have a totally different source and that they are a big improvement in cell quality. While Jason and I are "less than best friends", Austin and I get along pretty well.

Austin had sent me a 25C 8k pack and it was significantly better than the previous "20C" packs. Who knows about the rest of them? I don't see myself putting any money into their lipos anytime soon, but I am hopeful that the new packs are as good as advertised for those who do purchase them.

Here is some info from the actual PM's:

"It is a different source that the new cells are coming from, yes. We actually will be upgrading all the cells to 30C over the next month or so. The 3000s will become 3250 30C cells(with no increase to price by the way). They will be followed by the 5000 cells, then the 4000 cells.

We tested them at 30 and 35C. They get about 2500mah at 35C constant and almost 3000mah at 30C constant with good temps. They are a winner. Its the best 3000 cell we have ever tested by far.

Lets see... at 35C it would last a little over a minute the way I figure it. I am thinking that there will not be many guys running it at even 30C constant for the 2 minute run time.

Bottom line is that voltage under load will be very high and it should not hit cut off under a short high amp load.

Love them or hate them, it's always nice to see improvement.

I puffed one the 25C 8000 packs! however i had the warranty and now have the 35C 8400's. After 5 runs i can tell these are much much better packs. They dont heat up in either my MMM 2200 or MMM 8XL set ups. They also seem to stay in near perfect balance.

i have a 4s 3700 pack with a bad cell. not puffed, feels hard, but one cell wont hold voltage or charge. wanna fix it?

No prob, you can send it to me and i will take a look at it. What kind of pack is it? I will pm you the addy.
