battery comparison....

[robw]

I don't have any thunder power batteries. I'm testing what I have and what anyone sends me. I don't have the $$ to buy a bunch of different batteries to test...I wish I did. If you want to send me a pair of 3s packs, I'll be glad to test them, I'll pay for shipping back to you.

bit too far to ship from the uk, wouldn't expect you to pay that amount either.

Travis, are all their ( Revo) batteries made from the same so-called HV chemistry? Meaning I just checked their web and there are different C ratings, curious as to they are the same formula but only with different C rating???

Revolectrix have been around for quite a while. Since around 2005 I think. Travis is right the Silver series are the HV batteries. The Diamond series are the normal 60C rated packs that have quite a good name amongst the flyboys. I haven't tried the diamond series yet. Not sure how many boaters use them.

I have some new info. I tried to do this back to back test as good as I could...however I had a few issues. I'll narrate....all runs were 6s (2) 3s packs) just charged up today.

1st packs: nothing changed from runs yesterday. Venom 5000 50c 1st pass 79.2mph 2nd pass 79.5mph...note..the venom do not seem to fade as much as the other packs. That's a good feature for sure.

Next up. Max amps 5450 120c first pass and second passes were in the 75mph range. I felt like something was wrong. The the spc in and they were down from yesterday. Problem: I messed with steering trim on the way out with the Maxx amps. I centered it back, mph came back...good find! I put the Maxx amps back in for another go.... So max amp was 77.9mph on the third run. I'm gone to have to redo this possibly but you could go with the above pass from yesterday which was 79.0....still pretty poor for such a high dollar pack.

Spc...these batteries are down right impressive for thier price. To be honest, why by anything but these or the revolectrix? On the second pass (rudder remember) they did 81.3mph....stellar!

And last but not least, revolectrix 5500 70c
On the first attempted pass I flipped the boat. I squeezed the trigger a little too fast and she flew! I heard something come loose when she hut the water. My heart sank. Testing was over for the day I thought. Well I got her in after a while (my recovery is pretty slow lol) and it was just my gps I heard come in velcroed. Whew! So put it back in place sent her back out....83.2mph second successful pass and backed it up with an 82.1 not too bad on 6s! Me and my kiddo had fun. I made quite a few passes. Nothing got hot. She took a lickin and keep on tickin! Videos posted later tonight.....

battery comparison....

Max amps didn't get the nickname for nothing.
People were finding cheaper cells were giving higher speeds. And although, speed wasn't everything to some guys , the Max amps seemed to get hotter quicker. So runtimes were shortened also. At least from what I gathered. Maybe I'm mistaken.
