Revolectrix

So, something I normally don't do. Out testing esc settings and ran my HV 10s2p set down to 6%, no puffing or heat. Other brands that were run down to 20% didn't fare quite so well. Just ordered a set of the 60c's to be legal for next year.

So you ran some revo's down really low and they did not puff?

These aren't the other ones that can't go that low

Well....... I guess it wouldn't matter much if I puffed them anyway....that are priced quite right....

Just because you got away with it once, I wouldn't make a habit of running them low. Me and my buddies endurance race for 5-6 minutes plus mill and in laps on just 4500mAh, in doing that you need to run your cells pretty low or you are just giving power away to the competition, only one of my boats finishes with over 10% left and one regularly finishes with 3% left. In our experience it reduces the life of the cells, but by a pretty random amount, taking them down to 6% could make the same cells puff in 3 runs, or 30, but they will puff and sooner rather than later. If you want a decent life (100+) runs from a pack you have to leave more in them.

Has anybody ordered batteries from Singapore?
Ordering from the states is not really an option anymore since USPS will not ship lipo.

They ship by FedX so I think you will have no problem and see it in a week or so.

Yes, that is where I bought mine last spring. Very fast shipping, had to pay a bit at the door but, they are worth it.

That's the reason I stated I don't do this regularly.

I did get a tax bill from fed ex but it wasn't much.

[ray schrauwen]

Well, I never said no brokerage charges, just not extortion rates of UPS.... About $30 at the door I think? It was last spring.
