those dewalt batteries.. again..

[t-maxxracer32]

i mean performance wise. dont wanna go out and spend 150 and get 3 packs when i can go to radio shack and buy 6. now if these batterys are much better than its a completely different story. i have NO idea how these batterys are compared to the radio shack batteries because ive never seen them run or anything like that. how much more power would these have over the gp3300s? how much of a better runtime would these have?

i think i got some of the pros and cons down...

pros of the dewalt batts
15 min charge time
lotsa power
run time?...
less weight

cons
......


pros of gp3300
cheap..?

cons
less power
less runtime..?
more weight



let me know if im making an idiot of myself... lol thanks for you guys help

Well, first, what system will you be powering it with? an maxx?

And yes, the pros and cons are right, if you want to call them that.

peronally, i would rather have one really good pack, than say, two or three 'decent' batteries. The A123's are simply much better, some other benefits:

-ultra durable, both in physical abuse, and performance abuse (shorting, over-charge, over discharge)
-they will last and last if treated only adequate
-again, 15 minute charge time, you can charge them up as soon as you run out


They deliver almost full Ah rating, they have the flattest discharge voltage curve of any battery (very nice), and you also don't have to worry about them getting too hot, or anything, they are fundamentally safe batteries. They will not burn, explode, or be permanently damaged if discharged/charged to quickly.

consider this
