| 3.3v nominal each, they charge to 3.6v max Yep, anything you want. Surprising that more people haven't responded over the prices. JRH |

| Prices are good = Normally unbuilt cells are around 16.50 and built 23... The non warranty might be an issue but if they check out I'd pick up a 3s or 2... They are chunky but robust for axle mounting and rollovers... |

| They are all first run cells, and I just bought 100 for personal e-bike use. Quality will not be an issue, but for the price you can get double the amount. I will be sure they are tested as well. |

| No loose cells available. The importer wants to build them all. Good news is that he can build and shrink wrap in any way you want, and the cost is STILL less than buying a dewalt pack to hack up. I think the dimensions are 26mm x 65mm. |

| I never saw a MAh. rating. Those would be perfect for my MRC. The right size I have been looking for. I will take 1 2s and 1 3s if it is available. Can you see if the tap can be an align tap? Last edited by CRAZYACE63; 04-02-2009 at 07:06 PM. |

| These are the 2300mah cells, the M1 size. I list them as 2.3 amp hours in the first post. I have a good chunk on the way, I think the slow boat shipping will be six weeks. *Sigh*, but air shipping would add like $5 to each cell. |

| You know what I just found out that the XH taps are the perfect ones I need. Send me an invoice and I can get you the money asap. Man I might just hit you up and pick up another ten. |

| Gonna have to wait until the cells hit the shore, I don't like taking money for products that I don't have. |

| No prob. I will wait until then. Def. picking up two packs as soon as they arrive. I can run my MRC for two days straight then charge and run again. |

| You can charge them in 10 minutes too, so you could keep crawing indefinately. |

| Wow, so a 3S pack would cost $30? Okay, I've never owned LiPo before, and know litle about them. So forgive me, I'm about to ask some stupid questions. I DO know however that I need to switch to LiPo for my new rig (rock force) and would like a 2S or 3S lipo for my mamba-powered Mini-T. SO what would the approximate final dimensions of a 2S or 3S pack be,(in inches, please, I don't do metric, MM and CM mean nothing to me) And when you say "packs can be configured differently" what do you mean? |
