I would like to pick up a good set of cells and am asking for advice on brands that are good for the price, brands to just completely avoid, and if I go with the higher end brands which to choose, sizing, configuration and whether or not to consider multitasking ability or specific purpose only.
If I plan to run 4S should I run two sets of 2S cells in series 2 x 2S2P, or two 4S cells in parallel 4S2P? There is a possibility of 6S (3 x 2S2P VS 6S2P) in the future, should I configure for versatility or specific application and stick with it?
Is there any advantage to be had running 2 packs as low as possible, rather than a tall 4S pack?
Should I consider runtime and maximum capacity,compromise of capacity VS weight,, or just purely sizing constraints.
Is there a recommended total weight (optimizing with pack mass) benchmark for a 4S Daytona to keep it roughly in the window of riding not too wet,and not to light?
Are there more important factors I am neglecting to consider first?
When is it deemed necessary/advantageous to do a anti spark setup?
Ideally I think I would like to pick up "best of the rest" packs, and hopefully avoid the premium on the best cells...
How many sets of cells are required to have a good day out for a moderately set up boat?
Through searching here my best instinct is the dynology, but it seems like I might be able to get something nearly as good for my application ~3/4 price.
1 set seems like it will be ~up to $200 for a 4S2P, and as low as ~$100 for the same capacity but questionable service life and dependability...
Are there any forum names I should search for their opinion and comparison of cells for general use rather than top speed or SAW usage?
Any very comprehensive threads explaining in detail which brands to choose and operation parameters to expect?
Does anyone have any good advice on what battery configuration works best for the Daytona with the known starting factors?
180A ESC
Still not 100% which motor, but will spin at ~30,000 RPM ~2000Kv (Most likely Leopard)
Octura M440-M445
Safe moderate setup
TIA
