I have 6 cell 5000 tp v2 for my heli. But i like to have seperate lipos for each vehicle. This way i can keep track of the cycles and how hard they are used.

I think my maxamp is rated for 120a. All i used to use is them andi never had a problem. Then again, i never used one with the MMM.(power hungry S.O.B.) Only the MM.

lincpimp also mentioned that the maxamps are usually optimistically rated, and even though it says 120a, it Probobly isn't really living up to that. You ought to try your tp in the muggy

Its a great charger. Simple to use. Pretty much the last charger you will ever need. If it has the latest firmware you can charge every battery on the market.

if it doesnt have the lasted firmware, shoot me a pm. I send ya the cable to update it as long as you promise to send it back to me. LOL LMK

This is the one i'm getting: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/17987
Yeah, the 6000 maxamps packs are just a 2p pack made out of the 3000ccells which are good for 40-45amps max, so the 6000 pack may do 80-90 amps... on a good day.

Really difficult to understand the difference, until you try similar packs on the same setup. My first enerland cell pack was a polyrc 3700 5s pack. I bought it used for 75 bucks. I gave it a try in my tekno converted revo. 2000kv 1512 sized aveox motor, and a quark 80b esc. Truck still has the 2 speed and mech brakes, so it is realively easy on the electronics. I used to run a maxamps 5000 5s pack. So I gave the polyy rc pack a try. Big difference, more puch and power, and it seemsed to give the same runtimes, plus it just seemed to hold higher voltage longer than the maxamps.

The polyrc pack is a 25 c pack, but only speced for 92amps cont. The maxamps is similar with a 100amp rating.

My main issue with maxamps is the cell quality is all over the place. I had a bad cell in all of my packs, and some were even delivered to me with the bad cell...

I have a bunch of enerland cell based packs now and none have let me down so far. I have some truerc packs too, and even after letting the cells get down to 2v they still took a charge and didi not seem to lose any capacity. Try that with a maxamps pack... or try to find a pack from maxamps competitively priced with true rc...

are you saying that if a new type of battery comes out that this can't charge, then I can install TP software and then plug the charger into my computer and after that it will be able to charge it?
