For example:

Elite 1300 35C should be able to do 45.5 amps....your test shows 26amps?


Although you come closer to the claimed "C" ratings, we are still not getting whats on the labels.

He who has the least amount of trickery gets our money?


I am not arguing or bashing here. Just like you. hate seeing people waste their hard earned green. I'll probably order a few sets from you myself.

Maybe I wasn't clear in my first post. But we didn't do a 35C discharge on them, because the other cells could hardly take 20C. Seemed pointless to do a comparison graph when the other cells... Well mainly brand p, couldn't register. We are currently running 35C discharges on the 2 35C cells, to post our findings. I have absolutely no doubt these are a 35C cell. We just didn't test them in this case @ 35C, because the other cells would not have been able to be discharged at those loads.

As you can see in the graph on the brand X cell, it is hardly a 45C cell. If it were, it would have gotten it's rates mah, and held a decent voltage.

I will try to get the 35C graphs posted tomorrow.

Another batch almost done. Geez fellas. They're all almost gone in a weeks time. Give me a break!

Thanks for all the orders. Post up your HONEST feedback when you guys receive packs and have time to test them out.

The cleanliness of your shop makes me not feel so bad about mine! I am pretty sure mine is still worse though!

That's the clean side too lol. I always warn the occasional buddy that comes out, about the mess. I have always been one to work hard, then clean up the mess all at the end. Since I have been busy, and my cute employee quit, the shop doesn't stay real clean these days lol.

Perhaps I should hire a maid

You ever get a chance to test your cells at 35C?

Settle down trouble maker! I'm sure he'll get them up soon. With the recent testing, I'm sure hes making a lot of new customers, He's probably swamped trying to keep up with the orders.

I know he told me he sold out of 850's and 1000's after this. Give him some time and I'm sure he'll post :P

Here are the graphs on the 1000 and 1300 @ 35C. The voltage is pretty good. We would like to see a little higher, but this is a normal graph. So these are a true 35C cell. They handled the load fine and didn't puff.

Binaryterror:

On the 1300 graph, there is a test with a pack as you requested. It did exactly what we expected it to do. Had a .05v difference due to all the materials to build the pack adding a little resistance. We are actually going to experiment, and see if we can get the packs to have less resistance. The black and yellow lines are the ones you want to look at.

I'm loving the 1000 and 1300mah 4-cells that you made me Chris....helped me win the ORCRC TTC. Great packs, and I'll be ordering a couple more 1000 3-cells in the future. Thanks again for the great service!

Well you have won another customer. In the next week or so I am going to be ordering about 6 packs from you but I will send you a pm as to what exactly I am looking for on the packs. I mount my servo in the middle of the axle and then put one pack on either side in series (whichever one increases run time) so I am limited on room.

Hey Chris finally got to try out my new CBP 4S 850 pack and I was really impressed it had insane wheel speed (JPH 37x1) and ran hard for about 30 minutes. I'm liking the small size and great pricing I will defiantly be ordering a few more great work.
