The 2c charging is supposed to cut the life of the cells, but with modern packs (20+c discharge) that might not be a problem anymore. I still 1c charge mine.

Coolhand_country uses these battery packs (3800 i think) and even used them in a 12s config in his truggy/mt HB thing. I'm sure he'll chime in about them


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

What are you using to balance these (tap wise)?

I have only heard good things about these packs.

The price of these are a bit higher because the chemistry is so much safer then Lipo. When Apogee provides more pack options (4S etc), I'll probably get some.

I have always used an Astro Blinky. However, I am now trying a GP Equinox with optional charge leads to allow 5 amp charging and balancing through the unit. It should give me better life out of my packs, but only time will tell.
