                I have various 6S5000+
                packs always cycled gently first 3-5 runs
                run to 80% or 3.3v min
                My G3 6S35C5500 are still 95% ok after 125+ cycles... 16 months..just longer to balance
                TP 6S45C5000 huffed and puffed after 10 cycles .. 2 weeks... expensive choice !
                Same setups and run characteristics..

                    That was a good price. My current price (for OSE members ONLY) for Hyperion G3 45C 2S 5000 packs is $74 shipped in the USA. Not sure what shipping to Australia would be.

                      Thats why i have stuck with my G3 2s 35c 6500 packs i have lost count of how many times i have charged them , but what i do is buy them in pairs & mark them ,so i dont mix older cells with newer ones & charge them hooked up as a 14.8 & use a Y balance harness ,so that way all 4 cells balanced perfectly & it has kept them in good working order... Well thats for all my boats that run 2x 2s packs, i mark mine with shapes lol

                        I do the same. For example, two 2S packs will be marked 1A and 1B, etc. I think I currently have 8 pairs not to mention all the 3S 4S 5S 6S packs. The ones I am using 2P also get the A & B markings.

                                would the less amp draw (then less voltage drop) offset enough going from 4s to 6s to gain back those few mph on a cheaper pack ?

                                Tony were the packs cold or pre heated ?
                                Scott, the packs were run at ambient outside temp. - @ 80 deg. F

                                Good question about 6S vs. 4S
