Polyquest, Flightpower and Hyperion lipos?

[dalby]

Which perform the best? Would like to know about experiences. They seem to use cells from the same factory "Enerlands" cells, so maybe they should be equal?

I have just bought some Polyquest cells so would really like to hear from people using them.

I cannot speak for the others packs but... I know that the Flightpower ones are VERY VERY matched. In that I mean all the cells are charged and discharged several times and are allowed to keep the charge varying amount of times. After all the test are done. Any cells that will not hold enough charge or out of spec are sold to second tier companies. All the cells that do match, in regards to how fast they charge and discharge are then matched with cells that charge and discharge at the same rate to make nice even packs.

This is one of the reason you will find FP packs with 200 cycles on them and folks still flying them.

Hey,

Dont forget the much proven and reliable Kokam brand of LiPo cell.
I use Kokams myself, moving from Enerland cells sold by Over-Tech (formerly Overlander) in the UK and have very good performance out of them and reliability.

I have an old 910mah 3s Kokam LiPo pack which is still going strong after many high discharges and from before that days of balancing!

I've got 5 cycles on each of my 6S 5000mA Polyquest (from Hobbycity/Unitedhobbies) and I'm very happy. They are holding the voltage @ 80% better than my 6S 5000 TP packs - at 2/3 the cost. in fact I have had to alter my low-volt alarm from 20.5 up to 21v when using them otherwise I go over the 80% mark before the alarm comes in. I don't have anything smaller than the 6S Polyquest but I'll probably get some 5S 3300ish size packs for my Trex500.
