I was going to get some EON X30's, but couldn't find any sources... then some Turnigy's.... now it's some new hyperion packs (either the 25C or the 35C) for a decent buck too. 5C charging, flat discharge curve(or so they say) and 4x cycle life as well.
Crapamps came out with a flat celled a123 pack, and I expect more companies to follow, so keep your chargers!

First off, who came out with a flat cell A123?

I don't use the A123 chargers, i use a lab quality programmable power supply to charge my packs, very universal and versatile piece of equipment.

Although, I am on the look out for a 0-40volt, 0-20amp unit. For the mean time I am going to probably get a Hyperion 720i.

Where do you get that charger?

MaxCraps makes the pack - http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/show....php?p=2404921
Construction will probably suck along with cell matching.... I'm not sure if a123 is making the cells, probably some off-brand cheapass chinese dirt shack.

How's your EV going?

I think these aren't enerland, but are the same cells. The chinese cells are getting better and better. I think both packs will be great however, because they both have a good matching process and wouldn't put out a less then top-of-the-line pack.
