Anyone interested in a graphene battery test?

[RaceMechaniX]

I suspect you can. There are also different sizes with wider or narrower temp bands.

Anyone see this yet?? Muhahahaha

Noice....

[Keagan-Z06]

Just noticed it today.

[kfxguy]

Sorry my progress is slacking. I've been busy cleaning up after this massive flood we had here in Louisiana. I might get back to this stuff this weekend. I've got a rigger that puffs batts like crazy and I just got some graphenes in for it to put them to a true test. Stay tuned.

[urbs00007]

Where ya been? haha I've been running graphene all summer. I've set my HV cells aside in favor if these.

I so hope that all the brands are created similar. I have beaten the crap out of these. Drawn them down to 1%. Charged them at 20 amps right after and raced them in blistering heat with no puffing. Holy crap.

There are some more protoype on a boat bound for MI Supposed to be here in a couple weeks.

We'll compare notes.

On the ESC that's the endless battle. We used to say that back when a 77 amp Hacker was the only reasonable priced unit at just under $300. Ackk. "If we could just find a tougher ESC that isn't a $600 Schulze"

any more comments on the new graphene lipos?

[kfxguy]

Unfortunately not for me. Rc has taken a back seat for the time being due to the flooding we've experienced. Maybe ince I get my house back in order I can get back to it.

I have absolutley tortured two pair of the 420blend 3s 2600mah 70c go-packs in my 1/8 buggy. Pushed me into tripple digits. Hook up the old 435blend 5800mah packs and due to the added weight didn't see a gain. These packs don't get as warm as non graphene packs and I have run them too low for comfort and they didn't care. Cant vouch for the 435 HV packs yet.

[dmitry100]

How is the IR looking on these new graphene packs overall? Especially Revos'.

Haven't seen anyone mention that yet ...

[fweasel]

My Revo 3S packs are sitting right at 0.8mohm per cell. Only about 5-6 cycles on them so far. Conversely, my Turnigy 3S graphenes bought at the same time, run in the same boat, cycled the same number of times are a tad higher at 1.1mohm per cell.

[dmitry100]

Thats surprising.

[srislash]

So I have a set of four Revo blend 435 Graphenes, I have been 'running them in' on my sport mono. On this one I may need to start keeping a timer for running as these sucker just keep going full tilt till the end. I have been plugging them into the charger and finding 15% left in the packs. This IS lower than I normally take my packs but I have no ill effects at this point. I did not pay attention to IR yet but will try next round.
BTW next round should be a direct back to back run with my Revo blend 427's and the Graphenes in my Fantasm.

Just my two cents

[dmitry100]

Nice srilash, post a follow up with IR readings and noticeable results you have in comparison!

[gohan]

Revo Blend420 Graphene IR data after 6 cycles...charged on Revo GT500...very good!!

[dmitry100]

srislash, any performance follow ups?

[srislash]

IMG_0227.jpgYes, man these guys charge quick when you double up the amps. Here is a pic of my charge screen with my 6s battery.
So pretty much 1 ohm per cell. My other charger was reading 1.2 ohm per cell on charge.

[srislash]

I just thought I would add to this. I have got quite a few cycles on these and they are still registering 1.3-1.4 ohm on charge.

Good deal

[CraigP]

We are talking milliohms, right?

[srislash]

I would suppose. Lol guess I should have put a 'M' in front but it is in the charger pic above.

And I will say that my 435's have a slight swell, certainly not much but my old 427 Silvers are solid as they were new.

All of mine are like that too (slight swell)

[CraigP]

The swelling always leaves ya nervous! Something got tweaked in there...
