What the?
 
Ok, my near new smh 3000's are peaking at around 2000-2600mah.. what the? they have been cycled & built by martin fluro, i bought them off rob alchian (he charged them 4 times)... But they are peaking at quite high voltage.

What are you discharging them down to? if there is a substantial amount of voltage left in before recharge you will not be able to put as much in as the glass is already half full.

Also be aware that the Mah put in do not really count, as this is a calculation of the time taken to charge etc, it is what the mah's under discharge straight after a peak is what counts.

mm my HV 3000's take about that. but discharge more.. wouldnt worrie iabout it, get them on a disscharger that tells you mah.. just to be sure.. if its still down,

you will then relise why rob sold them, and why ppl dont buy 3rd hand packs, ahahah:lol: :lol: :lol:

yeah thanks bradd. I discharge them down to 5.4V
Painy: Rob bought the cells new, then gave them to martin to cycle. Rob then tryed to run them (he runs mod) and found that they didnt have the legs to run in mod. So there :P
Anyway. what about the really high voltage??

Geezzz my 2400's have more mah then that. Like has already been said make sure they are fully discharged before re-charging them and you'll see what there really at.

Yeah, they are discharged to 5.4v, so i guess they dont charge to their capacity as they havnt been fully discharged. My old old old old unmatched 2400's that cost Aus$48 in hongkong are getting more mah, but not as much voltage..
