Interesting. I just got a promatch lipo as well. have only ran it twice, but so far so good. Was gonna order a second one. Might not now.

join the club mate i have got 3 as well and none of them go even close to 6200 more like under 5000 mah but again i got no replies either buddy

they balance fine but no where near the correct MAH that i paided for

i have sent a number of emails with pictures for proof but not a single reply either

the picture below was from LVC on a tekin RX8 and a 6200 lipo that took well no where near 5000 and not in close to where it should be at 6200 :lol:

I've got two of the 6200 lipos as well. They are definitely NOT 6200mah. My Gens Ace 5000's have the same run time for the same application. I sort of guessed that going in, so it was expected. They are still good batteries. They were cheap and have a lot of power, so I'm wasn't upset about it. You get what you pay for.

I bought two of the same batteries. Within 3 weeks one puffed up and actlually split the case. I promptly contacted Pro-match. Within a day or two, they returned my email and told me they had sme quality issues from particular batch of batteries that they recieved. They said they would ship me new batteries, and that they would send me a package to return the old batteries in.

Unfortunaty I was told that it could take several weeks before the new batteries were in stock to ship out. So I asked if I could just swap them out for some saddle pack batteries they sell, Joe said yes, but they were out of stock also. I found that they had a deal on some 1s packs, so I figured I could run them in my sc10 4x4 with no problem. I asked if they could send me 6 of them and that I would gladly pay the difference in price. I was contacted a day later, and they said that was fine, what batterie leads do you need? I described what I needed, and three days later I recieved 6 1s lipos, a 150$ pricetag. They said we are even.

I got what I needed from Promatch, and they were very good to me.
Im sorry things didnt work out for you. I give ProMatch 2 thumbs up for the service I got.

That's the risk of unproven statements sorta remind me of hp ratings on nitro motors. Everyone has their own charts. Lol.

Try High Velocity thread. He is giving chart support with his batteries.

try the batteries in a different car with a different esc if possible, not all esc's cut off at the same voltage. if the cut off was higher on one compared to another esc, the mah discharged will be different. i dont see it being off by 1000mah though, so u might have mislabled packs. just a sugestion, could be something entirely else! hope u get everything resolved.

Huh, I've been using Promatch batteries for 10+ years with no real issues.

I've been using ProMatch for years, never had an issue. Did you run the battery to cut off?? Only thing that screen tells me is the amount you used 4700 something.....If I run 5 minutes mine will read 3000mah, meaning I have 3000mah left in the tank if I'm running a 6000mah battery.
