It says Intellect but I don't believe it is related to Intellect Battery because if you look close at the pack is says IP on it. Good luck if you purchase and let us know the results.

The good thing about Paypal is if there not Intellect that company will have to refund me for not as described. It happened to me twice so far and both times I got the thing for free. I would think there IB packs though, no reason not to believe it yet...

Quick question Joey what do you use for a load bar? I need an upgrade from my good old string of lightbulbs.

[ice329]

Thats is all mine is. Years ago we made them, they pulled about 30 amps but one of my bulbs got broken over the years so mine pulls about 26. I know people frown upon a light bar but thats nonsense. 25 years we used it back then to drain the NiCD packs and test the packs to see which ones were the stongest to use when we raced the buggies. We had the fasted buggies around but we eliminated all plugs and everything hard soldered, we used battery bars and 12G wire, really good esc's and tested our batteries and never took anyones word. back then Sanyo was the best. Now I use the bar just to put a pack on there and see how long the pack stays above 7.2 v and also to moniter what voltage it begins at etc. The Nimh cells the IB3600 blows everything away, then believe it or not the RED tenergy cells but the voltage dont stay strong as long as the IB cell bet really very good. I do the same with the lipos, it just a good judgement of a packs power. I dont use it drain a pack, I use the charger to do that the bar is just to test the packs. I use a regular multi tester to check voltage at 1 min intervals. This is how I knew I ruind a set of my IB packs when I made a big mistake with the MM and the pack got like 160+ deg. I recharged and tested and forget it they were shot. they hold voltage and seem to be good but under a load they dont produce the great voltage they used to. I get like 7.6 -7.9 volts a few min into the test and after the heat job...hehhe cant even pull 7.2 there shot. The lipos are up around 8 then drop a little but not much.

Some of stuff IB made was good, others not.

Ha thats funny Joey I also made mine years ago and I am down one bulb also! Deans used to make one but I can't find it anymore and I'm too lazy to solder another one up.
I did buy two of the packs Mr Hill is referring to and so far they have put out great numbers on my "load bar" and at 90 dollars for a hard case pack I consider them a value. Time will tell.

I only busted one bulb, still have 11...(-: I like the PolyRC 5350 packs i have from RC Lipo's, which I think, i am not sure are the good cells and are on a super sale right now... but I just felt like trying the IB Lipos.. I am not anyones payrole...heheh and soon enough they will be put up against the PolyRC packs. They will be fine for what I want out of them I am sure and heck they were only 56 total that included shipping each after the ebay coupon...
