60C really?

[BrianG]

Hmm, still, I'll believe it when I see it. Testing of my own MA packs leads me to believe otherwise (granted, they are older-generation cells). Maybe they listened to the masses and/or got tired of warranty claims and actually have cells that performed as advertised now? Still think the price tag is a bit hefty...

Definitely a bit hefty. I would consider trying their stuff if the price wasn't outrageous...

60C is just MA omitting the continuous C rating and using the surge, they are playing with the noobs here. They aren't lying or anything (although they might be), they just aren't stating the C. C rating with I'm sure is something like 30C or lower in reality.

The surge watts is BS though, that is based on the fact that a lipo cell is 3.7v/cell Nominal, they think they can do a simple calculation and multiply the nominal voltage by their so called 60C and get that number. It sickens me.

Austin here with MaxAmps.

I understand your concerns regarding our new method of rating the packs.

However, I believe if you take the time to hear me out, you will agree that this is a much better method of providing our pack performance information than the constant "C" method.

In an effort to be more accurate and transparent, we have taken the time to articulate exactly why we are using this method and exactly how we are testing the packs to get to these figures.

Using this method, I feel that it is much, much better than just a C rate like the majority of the manufacturers are using. There is NO STANDARD TESTING METHOD TO ESTABLISH IT!

Here is the text from our lipo info page that clearly states exactly how we establish the ratings that we are using:

Austin, why not use the constant C rating if the majority of manufacturers are using this method. It seems that if MA were to use this method it might help to establish a "standard".
