EVO Lite 6s 5350 size-weight changes?

[zguy]

I just received my 2nd EVO Lite 6s 5350 pack and noticed some changes from the one bought about 6 months ago.

------------------L----------W---------H----------Weight
FP Specs-----139.7----44.5-------58.7------699g
Pack #1--------134------44---------60.2------706g (w/ deans & Velcro)
Pack #2--------135.9----43---------63.2------735g (w/ deans & Velcro)

The height of Pack #1 would barely fit in the L500 frame. For pack #2 I had to Dremel the height of the opening to get it in and it's still a tight fit.

Just wanted to report and ask what you guys are seeing on your packs?

I noticed the same thing with the pack dimensions on my new one. Can't remember how it compares to the older packs when they were new but the power on the latest one really delivers and maintains for the whole flight. I'm guessing that there must have been issues with the first 5350 packs and that is why they are thicker - still rated at 17C though. After 80 flights on my first one, it started puffing and is now mostly unusable except for when I just practice smooth maneuver training.

Hopefully this new battery will last longer. It seems the weight balance is still the same even though I don't slide it under the pinion so all is good in that regard. Even though the pack is thicker it still fits through the opening.
