Default Batteries, need your opinion on these.

I came across these two different types of batteries. I will be using them in my trx4 sport. Does anyone know anything about either of these? Thanks

I have three or four new Goldbat batteries that you linked to for my Capra. I can't speak about the long-term, but they are good so far.

Like others have said, the Goldbat batteries have worked fine for me.

I have those Goldbat batteries. They have some of the lowest internal resistance of any budget batteries I have purchased so far. I recommend them.

Do you do a thousand gates per crawl? 3300mah can last 2-4 hours in my trucks.

It lasts about 40 minutes on a trail run in my Capra.

I have several of the Ovonic 2200 and 3300 mah packs and I’ve had no issues with them.

I have the Ovonic 1300mAh 50 battery, its 10 months old and no signs of puffing, I have only used it several times though. The internal resistance of it is 10/10/10mΩ and it discharges 1330mAh@1A
It's a pretty decent little pack and it balances well.

I grabbed a couple of Goldbat 3s 2200mah batteries. The voltages are 3.86, 3.86, and 3.90. Is this ok? Both batteries had identical voltages. The 3.90 concerns me.

My concern is the 3rd cell being 3.90, and the other two are 3.86.

I've heard around the internet that your voltages shouldn't vary more than .03 volts per cell. Anything more than that could be considered bad.
I've had batteries do funny things like that, but after a cycle or two of storage and full charges they ironed out.
As long as they aren't puffy you're good, that's my rule of thumb.... just kidding.
