I am wrong about MaxAmps.

I agree that bench testing would be better, but unfortunately I don't have the dummy loads.

My unedumakated theory thus far was that it didn't matter so much what kind of driving or vehicle got the load, so long as they got the same load. 90A is 90A, right? Like, within the first 1000mAh of a run, if pack 1 hits a max of 90A seven times and drops the voltage to less than 6.1V each time. Then pack 2 hits a max of 90A twelve times in its first 1000mAh but only drops voltage to a min of 7.1V, isn't that proof enough between those two packs? Do the variables really matter at that point?

I like the idea of drag race style testing like John mentioned in the NK thread. I could just draw a line on two ends of my street and do 10 straight runs back and forth on each pack, fresh off the charger in the same vehicle.

I certainly won't claim to know more about this than you guys do, so please correct me when I'm wrong. I'm here to learn just like everybody else. The only reason this all started for me is because I can't use these $100 packs in my Revo. These packs should be a perfect fit for my Revo based on the advertised C rates.

Thoughts?
