      Just for the heck of it (and because I learned how to use this feature on my charger lol) I decided to check one of my older revo 3s packs.....




      Note, the battery is not shown in the pic. I actually took this pic because someone text me earlier and asked me how my batteries are fairing at this point in regards to the internal resistance.

                Big difference over what batteries were you using originally?

                      Have you tried them against any of the Magnum Lipos you have?

                        I did, but to be fair I was unable to get a real good feel for them because the two boats I was trying them in, flipped within the first two laps

                          I have found their performance to be on par with the LNEs. The only difference so far is the Revos aren't puffing. They are however, taking longer to balance.

                            Hey Chris, I wanted to go back and revisit this
                            I was not able to go back to back Revo vs Magnum, but I know that my Magnum has much more power and consistency over the NLE Dinogy and Giant Power packs
                            more noticeable power and hold higher volts much longer during a 6 lap heat

                            hope that helps
                            I fly with some Magnum packs and really like them in my planes and helis
                            I would love one for my Blade 360CFX

                              After running today 54 minutes to store charge one 5s pack and 144 minutes for the other.

                              Next month they'll be a year old and have less than 100 cycles on them. Gonna reward them with a nice salt bath for their birthday! Probably go all out and invite some LNE 6000 65Cs the same age to the party as well. Good times!!!!!!!! I'll take some pics at the party.

                                What are you doing with your charger after you run? Going up, or down in voltage?
                                Mine all take exactly 0 minutes after running to put them in storage.
