Nice idea but I can see a problem with it. Someone will take a nearly fully charged cell, hook it up to a nearly dead cell, put the thing on charge (not a balance charge) and burn the house down.

Thanks for the post

Have you ever actually ran a MaxAmps pack before or is this just a fun way to bash on someone from behind a computer and a keyboard? I would love to talk to you personally about how you arrived at your theory.

Give me a ring anytime on our toll free number at 888-654-4450. By the way, we are located here in the USA so you should have no problem communicating with me.

Best Regards,

Austin

Oh great - a gimmick. Just what the industry needs (as if there aren't enough already).

I wonder if Maxamps is coming out with a magnetic bracelet to help drivers control their trigger finger better. Or possibly a new design to the magical battery pack sticker?

I will post a few clues tomorrow morning. The magnetic bracelet post is cracking me up. I can assure you that it is not that Guessing by your post, you might need one to control another finger. You seem very bitter.

I'm getting ready to be utterly underwhelmed.

Unless its a half Giraffe half ape creature, I have never seen one of those before.

if it is a brand new product that has never been seen before

theres no way on earth anyone will ever guess what it is as there is nothing like it currently available anywhere on the planet/solar system


i reckon it might me a solar powered track bag that transforms in to a motor home to get you to all the events

oh hang... i know what it is

you guys have succeeded in making a perpetual motion battery that never needs to be recharged and puts out 100c . yippie! i could use one of those

a lipo that you can charge at 400c so we can pit just as fast as the nitros... just hook up a plug for 7 seconds

And I'm sure it would be fairly priced, but the cost of a charger that could do this would cost you only your first born and an arm and a leg
