Lipo repair

[lincpimp]

Ok, here is some info on my observations on zippy packs.

I have recently dealt with alot off the zippy H lipos. Seems like they are crap. I have had a few packs sent to me that have 1 bad cell. I remove that cell, rewire the pack, and the next day another cell has puffed. I had one pack puff all of the cells, just sitting in my toolbox. I will say it gets warm where the lipos are, maybe over 110f at times, but all of my lipos are in the same box and none of the enerland, neu fp, or elite cells have puffed while sitting...

Kinda brings me back to my noob days when my maxamps packs all puffed while sitting in the tool box... Talk about pissed off.

I know alot of people have had good success with the H packs, so I will just say that if 1 cell lets go, seems like the best bet is to can the rest of that pack and buy another pack...

As cheap as these packs are I consider them disposable. I will not be repairing anymore of these due to that. Not really worth it, IMO.

Now I have not seen this issue with the rhino and flightmax packs. I have personally beaten the snot out of a rhino 4900 5s pack and it surprised me. I have not ran any of the flightmax packs, or the turnigy. I have reconfigured a few flightmax, construction is no better than the H packs.

As far as recommendations go, I would suggest the rhino over the others, for build quality and performance. I would skip the H packs, and buy the higher c rated flightmax packs.

Just my observations, your experience may vary.
