    LiPo Comparison Thread (LiPo and NiMH AAs)

    lots of variables so I can't offer a straight answer heat is the #1 contributor to premature battery degradation and I race in Texas outdoors where summer heat can often be over 100°F I also cycle my packs at 40A which significantly increases heat to optimize performance at the expense of...
