that single pack 10s1p is awesome...wonder what the price is on that puppy

[properchopper]

The battery companies that are starting to "cater" to the FE crowd should realize that race classes stipulate total MAH { and serious racers are likely the customers using the premium-price batteries}; e.g. P-class limits power to 10K MAH. Why then a 5050 or such battery which goes over this limit on 2P?

does anyone know the difference of the so called boat pack vs. the regular ground or air packs?

Nothing at all. The 5050 30C cells are Enerland's new V2 cells. Notice that the 10S1P pack is really two 5S packs in series, see the two balance taps, one at each end??

I just got some of the Enerland V2 cells made up in a 5S2P that I run two in series for 10S1P in an electric pattern plane. SO far they seem to be pretty decent cells. Those are lower C rating, only 18C which is fine for the planes.

Pat at RC lipos will be carrying the new 30C v2 cell packs as soon as Enerland gets caught up on production.

They must float

tried these and the hyperion 35c batt and the hyperion are far better (for my application), and a cheaper price to boot, pat at RC lipos hooked me up with the hyperion 35c's for a top price.

Where did you get the PolyQuest packs?? Pat has not gotten any of the new Enerland 30C packs in yet. They will be labeled with his PolyRC label when he does.

From the Enerland Site:

Enerland cells are now exclusively used in own brand packs of Enerland™ & Poly Quest® and some affiliate packs labeled with Enerland as manufacturer source only.

The other battery companies that have used Enerland cells in the past, now have changed to a Chinese cell that can not equal the power or duration of the Enerland XQ2 30C cells or the "new" XF-43C cells due to be available in the next several weeks.

I guess they are talking about Flightpower, Thunderpower, PolyRC?

[sjslhill]

Poly RC is Enerland, remove them from your list.

Thunder Power is not Enerland now for sure and neither is Flight Power

[Bill-SOCAL]

You missed this part:

Enerland cells are now exclusively used in own brand packs of Enerland™ & Poly Quest® and some affiliate packs labeled with Enerland as manufacturer source only.

That is Pat's PolyRC brand. Made by Enerland and they are the EXACT same cells as Enerland uses in their PolyQuest brand.

And Steve is correct about TP and FP, neither one no longer uses Enerland cells. The why depends upon who you talk to.

without sounding Arrogant..... these suppliers are catering to the rest of the world as well, not just Amercans, as us in OZ can't paralell them, so the 5050mah or 5500mah offered by the others is perfect in 1p series as we have a total weight limit per class ie 4s 600gram, 6s 900gram and so on so the extra 500mah gets us over the line with the extra power too.

Mabey we should try and change the mAh limit rules,, with NAMBA and IMPBA,, mabey to 12,000mAh instead of 10,000 total??

[properchopper]

I stand corrected; guess I hadn't considered those not goverened by NAMBA/IMPBA specs. Unfortunately, rule changes involve lots of doing [and controversy].
