Thanks for the reply, these packs have been good the couple times ive used them. Hopefully can I reach the 20 minute mark.

What is the max continuous discharge rate for this battery? Burst? Is there a list with this info for all SMC batteries somewhere? Thank you !

Danny/SMC · 06-11-2009, 09:53 AM

All our Lipos can do the C rate as the continous current. The burst is 2 times the C rate.

Sorry, I am a little confused. I meant in amps...Like my 6000 Max Amps lipo says 120 amp continuous rate. So does that mean your 6000 pack has 128 amp continuous rate?

Thanks !

To get the amps you multiply the C rate by the mAh. So for the 6000/28C it would be 168000mAh which equals 168 amps. The burst would be 336 Amps. This is what the pack can handle but if someone would want to use the pack at 168 amps the wires would need to be bigger and direct soldered.

So, I charged my 6000 up on wed night. Once charged I placed it in a Lipo bag fopr storage. On Friday when I got to the track and pulled the Lipo out it was puffed. This pack always had been pretty poochy in power. So im thinking that there has been something wrong with this battery from the get go.

Just wanted to say what awsome customer service SMC has, and how prompt they are. Also want to thank SMC, and to keep doing what your doing.

What kind of runtimes are you guys getting with these. Anyone using them in a 1/8 scale setup or revo running 2 of them??

people need to uunderstand electricity better. and this applies to a lot of people because people ask "how many amps will i get, or how many amps with that give me??""""

the thing is, you dont get amps, amps are drawn.

and that is up to the wattage of your motor.

if you have a high capacity battery with a high c(not the drink) rating, and your motor is very low wattage, guess what? nothing special is going to happen.

if you all want to to truly know what your motor is pulling from the battery pack, then go buy an ammeter and place it on 1 leg of the motor while it is running. that will tell you what your amperage draw is. and i will promise, you will be dissapointed what you see. because the amperage will not match what you are hoping for and you will think it is low.

make sure the amp-meter is on the a/c setting for the brushless systems. because it is a 3 phase a/c circuit, not d/c. set it to dc for the brushed systems.

The best way for this to work, is to get a data logger... It'll read power pulled by the ESC, but that'll be close enough...

Most hand held ammeters, aren't fast enough, and you won't get an accurate load reading while the vehicle is in the air.

comedyman809 · 07-09-2009, 02:39 PM

good point, you wont be able to measure it white it is running on ground. how accurate is a data logger?

drperry · 07-09-2009, 04:09 PM

From everything I've read and heard, most systems are pretty accurate...

Definitely going to do better than most hand held multimeters or ammeters.

Danny,

Will SMC make a 4s1p 6000mah hardcase version of this pack? Would really love that in my 1/8 buggy.
