No more Enerland LIPO cells

[sailr]

Where did you find the 6500's Mike? Must be some old stock. They have been illegal to import for close to a year now.

Well, I will say this. Hyperion G3 packs are probably what did Polyquest lipos in. They have just gotten such a big name of recent, and Polyquest has never marketed much so I figure that is probably the real reason. People always thing Hyperion for quality, and rightfully so. I just purchased a few G3 6500mah packs to give a try before the 6500mah's are gone! Mike

Yes it does. A123 is not making any hobby batteries anymore according to the notice:

http://www.a123systems.com/a123racing.htm

Does this affect the cylindrical A123 LiFePO4 packs as well?

I run all my slow boats with those crappy Turnigy cells.

But they'll continue making cylindrical cells into DeWalt tools etc. They just finished their RC line it seems. Am I getting it right?

Jim, allerc has some left. Mike

OK. Thought they might. They are the retail end of the importer/distributor for hyperion. Problem is, they are getting pretty old.

So, what cells does MaxAmp use? What cells did they use in the past?

[norbique]

A123 makes/made prismatic, AKA lipo like flat cells, with 4Ah, 6Ah, 8Ah, 15Ah, and 20Ah capacity. Maybe Maxamps used one of those to make up a pack.

Polyquest cells

Hello Guys



I would like to give mine input, since i´m running polyquest/enerland lipos sometime ago....
I really never had good performance with them.....Now, by the post that someone put in here, that the brother in law was selling bad cells throught the back door, i can understand why i was having bad performance from mine cells...
I have always buyed cells to them directly, so it doesn´t take long to know, that i bet the worst cells were in mine packs ::huh ....
I have tried to have an alternative, and found desire power.
The cells they have produce outstanding power, and have a great power/price ratio.....
I can assure that people are having better results with the Nano tech then woth the eneland cells...


Best Regards...just mine .02 cents

REally? Where did you see that? They're now making prismatic LiFePO4 packs? They never used to. That was one of the downsides of the A123
s. Big, Heavy cylindrical with low mAh ratings. Very interesting.

Yep. Big 20AH 3.3 volt cells. Car pack cells. I wondered about the Enerland thing Jim. Glad you could chime in. You would think that behaviour like that is above some. Guess it will always come down to greed. http://www.a123systems.com/products-...pouch-cell.htm

Hi Jim,

Yes they do. And look at the date in the first page, May 09.
I had problems attaching this in me earlier post, it seem it's size is the limit. I'll upload it somewhere else and provide the link.

Full size car batts has always been their main goal. I knew they were going in that direction but I didn't follow them anymore after realizing their batteries are somewhat worthless for FE or airplanes but work OK in r/c cars which I have no interest in.

I always thought they had to go to prismatic because there is so much wasted space in the cylindrical format.

Thanks for the links!

Can't seem to download the .pdf . Mediafire just sits there and doesn't do anything.
