Just recieved Aaron's 3800's this week and will run them this weekend. It's hard to believe batteries have advanced so much in a short time. As with all our Fusion packs I'm sure they are going to RIP!

Hi all,
Fusions did the job for me this weekend. 3 month old gp3700's TQ and 1st A main 12th scale stock, 2nd qualifier and 1st A main in 12th scale 19T in the NorthWest Carpet champs we had this weekend. I'm still putting 4400Mah into these cells when I charge.

Crimson,
If you still like those 3700's wait til you try the 3800's. My son ran his this weekend for the first time in T/C and all I can say is WOW! The power of the 3800's over his 3700's was very surprising. He dropped 3 tenths a lap with the 3800's. I knew they were good the first time he pulled the throttle. He made a lap and then just stopped and said these batteries are stupid fast LOL! We had to regear the car with 3800's. What work with 3700's burned the brushes with 3800's. Obviously a major change in voltage! He managed a 2nd place finish in the 19T A-Main and with a better setup will be a force with this much power.
Fusion continues to provide their customers the best batteries available.

Fusion IB3800's
I ran my new IB300's for the first time this weekend. The extra voltage let me drop two teeth on the pinion and picked up a couple of tenth per lap running 19 turn TC oval. Killer cells!!!! Keep up the good work

As for why they did it, you will have to wait for John Malin to come on and say. He gave me an explanation at Vegas, but for the life of me I can't remember exactly what he said.

The cutoff voltage can be used for good or evil purposes. Fusion uses the power of cutoff voltage for good.
No one every races a pack down to 0.85, 0.90 or even 0.95v on the track. A battery dumped to 6.00v (1.00 v per cell) is REALLY SLOW on the track.
In an ideal world we would cut off voltage reading at 5min (300 sec) and have a voltage cut off at 1.00v. This would make cells have crazy high voltage numbers and really poor run time numbers but it would gave you a very good representation of what the batteries would do in the track.
However, it would be hard to sell batteries with numbers this funky. This is an instance of where marketing and consumer expectations get in the way of getting meaningful information. Matchers get a lot of pressure to conform to the "industry standards".

Guys if you look back in this thread about 35 pages somewhere in there I tried to explain the reasons for matching to 0.95. It was done in an effort to get the best matches on the cells. Not for bigger or smaller numbers on labels. Fusion has always prided themselves on making the best product they know how. That was just one of the processes.
