Ways to protect MMM when used with subpar batts

OK, so the G3 VX 5000 is too big for the tray. Do I go with the CX 5000 or VX 4200?

If ratings are true to spec then I'd take the VX 4200's as long as you feel you'll get the runtime you need. Prices seem to be really close to each other for that extra 22 amp buffer with the VX 4200. I only own VX packs but have been really interested to know if the CX packs will be sufficient for my uses. Anyone have any input as to how true to spec these packs are? It would be great to hear the CX packs are underrated!

here's a test of the g3's cx and vx. My German isn't that good, but I believe the conclusion of this particular test is that the vx(35c) performance is very close to the cx(25c) performance.

I have a couple of pairs of Hyperion Litestorm CX 5350mAH packs which are the older 16C versions and have used them with my MMM V2 and MMM V3. I have run them in 2x 2S and 1x 5S configuration and they run beautifully and have not damaged my ESCs, obviously. Maybe I have got my set ups right because I have no temps issues and I am happy with the available power and run times. I think I will get a pair of 3S 5350s and run 6S as soon as I get my battery budget up again.
