IB 3800's
Has anyone noticed how bad the IB cell's fall off after weeks of running I run mine once a week and take very good care of them but they still look bad"after cycleing"
also not sure why express does not heat shrink each cell due to it not being done 1 cell on a good pack blew up/shorted out on the chassis even after I sanded my battery slots..I have Old 3300's that have way less ware than my new 3800's due to the extra heat shrink I also asked John "PM"why the cells fall off but never got a Reply... I did get a reply when I asked to buy em

Well.. I'm John but not the Barrery Jon.. Extra wrap on cells is not always provided from all battery matchers. I have seen many packs from many matchers and can tell you 7 out of 10 dont include. Some racers do prefer not to run the extra cell wrap for many reasons ,1 being it just holds extra power robbing heat in the cells 
As far as loosing runtime..yea I have seen some packs loose runtime from earlier batches but now that IB has got things going well,that doesn't seem to be a problem.. I got packs from October that only lost 30 seconds and still run well. Yes like Fred sail too...Make sure edges are sealed not just sanded.. If it still occurs try to refile on motr of angle and reglue....
