|  Elite 4500mah SC
Anyone running these? I just ordered 8 of them from Cheapbatterypacks based on their performance graph and the price. They look to slightly out peform the IB4200s as far as continuous output.

Using the initial slow charge formula, C/10 gets you a 450 mah charge for 14 - 16 hours. You should bump up from the .2 to .4 for 16 hours , or maybe .5 for 14 hours. |

True, but I started them at 1:30 AM and won't be home to check them till close 6 PM tonight. So, I'll see how they did. Thanks for the reminder on the formula, though.

My guess is they might not even be close to 4500 mahs. C/10 = charge rate for ~14 hours 4500/10 = 450 4500 = 10 * 450 2000 = 10 * 200 Tack on another 1000 mahs, you're still a little shy of 4500.  |

the new generation of cells like more amps 1C initial charge is ok they dont like discharge lower than 1V per cell ! thea are good cells for racing , but i think you will kill them in a crawler |

I am running these, 6 cells brick pack on my clod seem to be a good battery. Long run time i get about an hour and 15-30 min all depending on how i am driving.
