Ok, finally made it to the one year mark and the last self-discharge check on the AA batteries has been logged and posted on my Google Drive HERE. Some of the results were surprising and some were not but either way this should make it pretty clear which rechargable NiMH batteries you'll want to...

I see that :) Cuz I wasn't here stirring up trouble lol

Thanks! Had to pop in and post the lastest battery update. :)

The 9 month low self discharge test results for the rechargable AA batteries are now available in the word document "Rechargable AAs 31 May 2023 - Copy"

The 6 month low self discharge test results for the rechargable AA batteries are now available in the word document "Rechargable AAs 04 March 2023 - Copy"

Its on there. If your looking at the VUL sheet its the second to the last lipo on this list. #57 The regular yellow packs are good. The endurance packs are not very good compared to the regular and pro packs.

Sort of but really only to racers. The theory is that with the LiPo starting out with a higher than normal voltage it will therefore maintain a higher voltage under load through the course of a race. At least compared to a regular lipo. The higher your voltage is, the more RPM you can get out of...

Since there only an additional .15V/C I would think it would be ok but you might want to ask Traxxas themselves or get an opinion from someone that has first hand experience using LiHV on that ESC

Click on my google drive link in the OP and look at the speadsheet titled "LiPo Shoot Out 22 January 2023 (AVG VUL)"

Lectron Pros are horrible. They have really high IRs. or at least the two I tested did. the main thing to look at is the VUL (voltage under load). Find one with the highest voltage under load rating that fits in to your price range. Generally the packs with the highest VUL are gonna have good...

Unless the model of Lectron pro is different they should be built with the same cells as the smaller packs. If both batteries are both the same model then Id speculate that Lectron Pro has a problem with quality control.

I really wanted to get in to testing some of the higher end batteries but since I have no need for the batteries myself and my Patreon gained zero momentum, I guess I'll just have to be content with what I've got :)

@bill_delong I've finally completed what I'm calling the 30-35 tests. I picked 15 packs from the initial testing, half of them from some of the better performing packs and half from some of everything else. I did make sure to test the Zeee Premiums too since I know you use those just so you could...

It will be interesting to find out. I'm familiar with Jangs work there and its eventual outcome :( I was charging at 2C BTW. Granted its not 40A but higher than 1C :) I wish Id have been aware of how the club racers did their cycles I would have adjusted my testing methods. Would have saved me...

Cool, I'm gonna test half a dozen packs that I've already tested using this method and see if they'll rank any differently than they did doing it the way I've been doing it. I'm curious to see if they will rank differently. I'm sure the numbers will be better but if they still rank the same then club...

Latest updated spread sheet is out. Tested a second pair of Liperior 5000mAh 50C and Turnigy 5000mAh 40C batteries. Ill be testing more duplicate batteries as I go to see how quality control is with some of the better scoring batteries. Question for ya Bill. I just saw this statement. My...

Newest updated spreadsheet is out. I'm starting to test more and more duplicate and triplicate packs to make sure that the results are within a certain tolerance. This is important to establish that cells used by a specific company for a specific model of LiPo are all similar and not producing...

Just to clear up some confusion if you're struggling to understand the data on the spreadsheet... The LiPos with the highest Voltage Under Load scores are pretty much going to be the best ones. Generally speaking the ones with the best Voltage Under Load are also going to have the better IRs and...

Yeah, some packs really surprised me. Some in a good way and some in a bad way. The tests have taught me a lot about LiPos. For example, I've learned that graphene doesn't mean anything. In fact a lot of the graphene packs I tested were crap.

BTW, First round of NiMH AA testing for self discharge is done now too. (See the word file on my Amazon Drive). I will test self discharge again at the 6 month, 9 month, and 12 month points.
