Looks like a great Xmas idea for Peterson... Ordering some now

Just make sure they approved for "spec" use!

Maybe Giiligan will be in for some.

In order to understand this a little better, change your point of view from one who has some experience in FE (and like Travis correctly observes : If you have to water cool your battery....youve got something wrong!) and think of yourself as the type of customer who's attracted to the marketing of products like Atomic : Box-Art Decal Boats for the new-to-the-hobby entry level boater. These (if my thinking is correct) are the sport running guys who very likely run long enough to overheat and overdraw their packs so watercooling them might make sense to them. It's all how you look at it. Atomic is in business to move product (as any successful business is) so they see a need (legitimate/sensible or not) and they fill it. Ka-Ching. Of course we're all to sophisticated to fall for any of these silly products (other than that goofy phone-thing in your pocket). And my Pet Rock

I agree tony they came up with a option to sell product and they obviously did since they sold like hot cakes and all the 4s 5000mah 100c are on back order. Looks like a successful sale. So I "stupidity" isn't exactly an adjective I would use guys. They just came up with a way to sell some product and make some money. All successful companies do just that. See a demand and fill it.

Just because they are on backorder does not mean they sold out. They may never had any to begin with.

I went on site and asked "how can you sell a water cooled lipo, but its not warranted for water damage" Their not posting or answering my ? wonder why....

[royalcasa]

Its black and white. I used to watch Lost in Space to. I am old and slow LOL

You guys better watch out... You know Peterson is lurking around somewhere!

we think this is stupid,but we run water cooled rudders. now how funny is that----it all started some where!

congrat's----you got it----that is funny isn't it.

[Spartanator]

I was wondering if someone would notice the Maxamps one! lol

[tlandauer]

Did I miss anything??

Yup! My sense of humor!

now that's funny...lol

congrat's----you got it----that is funny isn't it.

As a punishment, I think I ought to buy a pair of these batteries and suffer!

[bozo586]

save your money and suffering for something else, rc'ing is suppose to be fun and this tread made my day! happy thanksgiving to one and all!

[Darin Jordan]

Everyone who buys these has been "Grubered"... And they also must be Democrats... :)

This thread made my day too, especially the "Lost in Space" video clip.

Cool - we can exchange "gag" gifts at the next club meeting. I got a few more 2030's to get rid of.

Hilarious Guys.... DANGER WILL ROBERTSON!!!

Ready for the next laugh, I had previously mentioned that I had asked on their site how could they be selling a watercooled lipo but it not be warranted against water damage...well they did finally respond
"A: Hello DJ,
These batteries are designed to be ran in conjunction with your boats contained cooling system. The battery is to be used inside of a dry boat hull. You will run this water-cooled battery inline with all of your other water-cooled components.
Thank you "
Now talk about not actually answering the question ..... Happy Turkey day guys

OK, now if you run this watercooled battery inline on the tail end of your existing cooling system between the last component and the outlet it probably won't be cooling the batteries it would be warming them! SO... I get it now!! This is a battery warmer NOT a battery cooler!!! HOW could we have not figured this out!!!

Yea that makes a lot of (NON)sense...LMAO...This is why you buy a lipo with good/true c rating then you will have no need to cool them. Not all lipo makers have true c ratings but we all know this:)

[Ralf]

Tony got the Point.
I remember a tech-discussion in germany regarding cells and oval rules half a year ago. There was stated, that with the extreme sensitivity of the current Generations (6,6Ah Aspec, etc.) at and above 60° watercooling could be an effective way to drive the whole capacity in a race without overheating/damaging the cells.

If it makes really sense in practice and how to get it ideally integrated (the temp dramatically rises in the end of capacity, for 80% of running time you do not want to cool your cells) is another discussion

no one I know of has "true" ratings listed on the packs

[ray schrauwen]

Many of us use setups that don't put the batts in this kind of peril. Doing so does not guarantee a win.

There are far better cells for the same $$ than A-spec.

So to make a battery cooler effective you may have to have a 3rd channel switch for a valve to incorporate the cells into the cooling cct. or have it's own separate system. Seems like if you just backed off your setup, you would not require this complication.

A little birdy just told me that you actually bought a bunch of these packs and are using reverse psychology to prevent others from having the edge you will next season.

Bad Ray.
