Nice little lipo

[glassdoctor]

Yea, even if the battery can drop below 3 volts without any harm at all.... that is not the standard we use to rate lipos.

Also, at such a low voltage performance takes a noticeable hit.

The absolute minimum acceptable would be 3.0 per cell, and we really like to see like 3.2 or so...

I'm just doing this to see if what they claim is true. They say the cells can go as low as 2.2V. I'm not doing this to make everyone go out and try it with their lipos. A few other people in other forums are having great results with this new lipos. The 11.1V 2200mAh packs that I have does out perform my 11.1V 4000mAh MaxAmps.

Agreed. One of the great benefits is the low voltage drop. I woudn't want a pack that drops that low under load, regardless of it's ability to not self-destruct. I'd consider that pack's abilities more of a safety margin in discharging, rather than a higher C rating.

The point of me doing this is to see how much abuse this packs can take. This packs were not meant for this kind of use. They are being used in helicopters with great succes. In one graph I ran for over 20mins. without an isseu.
