Is Maxamps any better now?

My reasoning is the burst, and partially the weight. Most 20c packs will take 35 to 40c before falling flat. Most 10c packs will take 12 to 15c. Dont get me wrong, I have my fair share of 10c and 12c packs that still get used plenty. They do have a place for bashing and lower amp draw use.


On my ebike I have 12s2p 4.4ah 25c packs. 110a continuous available, the packs never see more than 35 or 40a. This way they should last a very long time.

I have had very good use out of my 12c 3600mah polyquest cells. Still use them in my supervee boat, 8 cells in a 2s2p config for 4s 7200 mah and around 86amp cont. Plenty for that boat as it only does about 3/4 hp so only needs around 40amps. My reserve does provide better punch though, and the weight does help the boat out, as it is designed to run 12nimh cells.

Now they are old tech, and just as big and heavy as a 5000 25c pack. I prefer the lightest pack I can get away with, as weight makes the biggest difference to vehicle performance.
