SMC LIPO BATTERY THREAD
#1636
Just have to say I ordered 2 of the 6500 mah 70c batteries and run mod touring car and these batteries are solid! I would gladly purchase more of them in the future and strongly recommend them to fellow racers. Thanks for an awesome product at a great price!

If your looking for the lowest possible IR than the out of spec 7200 or regular 7200s is the pack with lowest IR then it's the 6570 and the 5670.

That's a steel.

But that just gives a time period for crash replacement (2yr.), not any kind of defect or whatever warranty. Would one assume unlimited time? Probably not but I'm curious now that it was brought up.
No issues with my pack after 6mo but curious.

Hey Danny I had discussed with you that I thought I was having issues with my batteries not lasting long and lacking in punch. Well the issue was the esc it wasn't running efficiently I guess I put in a larger esc and problem solved. And just for reference if anyone is trying to run a pro4hd4300kv and mmp in one of the heavier SCT's like the losi or the tekno or caster I would suggest a bigger better esc like the rx8 or hobbywing because your not getting the full potential out of your motor or batteries.

If you use the pack and swell it or crash and damage it you get 30% of the regular price of the pack not the sale price.
Some of our competitors offer no questions asked warranties but that is only possible because they sell at much higher prices. We can't be selling discounted packs and be expected to have no questions asked warranties.
In the end these aggressive warranties and free shipping are all figured into the price. There really is no miracles where a company can offer packs at a low price and do crazy warranties.

Allot of customers like to blame packs but motors and ESC are also part of the power system. I once had a customer who burnt a ESC and told me it was the batteries fault. He wanted me to replace his ESC and pack. The ESC got so hot it melted the plastic case and melted the solder on the Deans connector and it fell off the pack. That is what I call a major short circuit.

I run the 4600mah shorty now and won the A main tonight, these packs are awesome. My first win came with a 5600mah full pack a few months ago. Definitly my most recommended packs, and I work in a hobby store :P I delivered a few 7200mah packs and SMC has a couple new happy customers.

Glad to hear you found the issue as I really was wondering what could be the issue as we do test all packs to make sure they are what we expect them to be.
