Those story`s seem true.
I use just one Orion 3200 pack for a entire event just yesterday.....
once for practice
3 qualifiers
and
one triple A-main...
total = 7 runs with the same Orion 3200
Amazing huh ?

Li-Po's have been around for many years and people have tried to get more them 8.4V out of them some have gotten as much as 8.5 and as low as 8.3 but this was due more to weather and the charger missreading then what they were doing. The true output is virtuslly identical charge after charge for hundreds of cycles if not abused.
The chemistry being what it is, 8.4V for a two cell is basically the standard and it is not adjustable.
Four guys running Li-Po batteries in cars weighing the same with the same gearing and motor will all go the same speed no one driver will have a battery advantage. Li-Po is not NiCd/MH and it shares very little with that older technology.
Many thought it was too good to be true but now that many drivers have experienced themselves over the past year it has proven to be just as good as claimed.
I am glad that people have now been able to experience the benefits as it was an uphill battle to overcome those that wanted to keep it out of their customers / competitors hands.

Now we get daily e-mails and phone calls telling us how Li-Po batteries has saved several clubs from going under by bringing drivers back. There is even an oval organization (ARCOR) that is allowing Li-Po in a class and many thought oval would be the hardest nut to crack.

Unless they can come up with some sort of voltage regulator or different BL motor's for oval its going to be hard to re structure the classes and still have guys that can handle the speeds of the car's.
Glad to see Arcor take the 1st step though!!

Can you charge your batt.pack threw this balancer? I know it works when it comes to balancing the pack,but i need to know if i can charge it the same way. I know when it comes to charging my Heli packs it works great.

A few racer`s even seem eager to ditch the Nk-ML battery`s and all the expensive dis-charger`s and such just for the convenience and durability the Orion 3200 offer`s....
