Maxamps 10,000mah lipo's.....

[warpspeed]

Looking around for 4s Swift batt's I ran across a 10k mah 6s priced at $324. Granted it's a 20C "sustained" pack, but you're looking at TWICE the capacity of your typical TP/FP packs at just a few bucks more. What's appealing is the warranty-an extra $65 gets you 3 year/300 cycle protection. I've never tried it, but I'll bet the big boys would laugh in your face if you sent in a pack after 2 years for warranty replacement.

As every T600 pilot is aware $300 for 4-6 minute flights SUCKS humongous donkey logs. 10000 mah's oughtta be worth a few more minutes......

Anyone tried one of these packs?

Remember it that the MaxAmps is 20C at 10,000mAh = 200A. That's compared to 25C at 5,000mAh = 125A for FP EVO so you are not being short changed on performance. The extra capacity should mean cool running and extended flight times even with the extra ~300g weight. Certainly an interesting option.

You might also want to consider if your charging setup can manage these packs at 1C. A TP1010 might come close, something over 9A but probably not 10A (only rated as 220W output, 10A @ 5S, 5A @ 10S). Any charger with a lower output power rating will fall further behind the 1C curve (eg e902=200W, Hyp1210i=180W, BC8=150W etc).

Ack, completely forgot about charging! I'm impatient as it is, so charging something like that at less than 1C is going to drive me nuts. I suppose I could get up VERY early in the morning and hope it will be done by noon-I'll just tell people that I'm "breaking it in gently." :glasses2:
I'm going to try the 4s version for my Swift-if it works out then the T600 is next!
