Ash ....
classic reply.
It is a joke that they think that we will believe that they have developed something that the Chinese battery factories are not already doing. Has Orion opened a new factory ... I doubt it. Which means that the cells are sharing a common platform with another brand of cell, whoever that may be.
Track testing show the cell rip? Well generally new cells feel a whole lot better than older packs. And the hype always goes a long way to making the cells faster

Orion is a big enough company that when they do back to back testing they can probably afford to test against brand new stuff.

So far no one has confirmed that Orion is indeed running their own factory. if they are not , then no doubt that the battery technology is already being shared with another brand.
All brands that have produced high voltage packs have had reliability problems. I cant see this being any different
It is amazing how fast heatshrink is.

I hope these cells last longer than my IBs.

This is the intention of ORION.
To bring reliable, long lasting cells back in the industry.
Time will tell if they succeeded or not.
I will test these cells this weekend and will inform you guys.
I've been instructed to abuse them.. to see how much they can take!

I've seen them being tested, just didn't know what the light blue plastic wrap on
the battery meant. Now I understand better.
One of the Orion team drivers is in our club. He was last week driving a 4.0T with rip and
speed way beyond of what our car was making with a 3.5T. I thought I need to
switch to Orion motors but obviously the reason for the extra speed wasn't the motor.
Looking forward to trying them out in our car.

Clearly a newbie here.
Long lasting, reliable, cells equals lower profit turnover.
This is a buisness.
Planned obselessence seems to be the order of the day in this hobby as well.
Cant really blame them, WE keep buying the latest greatest.
Orion does and has always had a good reputation for quality though.
