What model did you buy ?
Our 70C packs are built using the finest materials and should have great cycle life. Our lower C rate packs have passed my cycle life test and since we only started selling these models 5 months ago we're still figuring out how they will hold up in real world use.
For those who want to see what my cycle life testing consists of you can read this post.

You should get very good cycle life if you take good care of them in the regular classes. In the 4x4 SC they might drop off faster as that class is not very friendly to batteries due to the weight and the motors being used.

"We're experiencing a high amount of orders and we're doing our best to process orders the same day but it may take up to 48 hours. "
Are you guys still having high amounts of orders? I would like to order a few packs.

From what Danny told me in an e-mail the other day, Yes, sales are high, and China either is or is going to be on holiday here for a while for the chinese new year so if you need packs I would suggest ordering them cuz it will take a while to get them back in stock once they are gone.

I think the quality of the materials has the biggest impact on cycle life. As far as C rates go packs are now hard to judge by C rates as no one uses real C rates anymore. In theory a higher C rate pack if being a true should be better.

From what little I understand about lipos, wouldn't a lower IR contribute to a higher C rate?

Yes orders are going crazy and we're doing our best to keep up and ship out the same day but sometimes it's not possible.
Our new shipment that came in today is selling much faster than we expected so we expect to be sold out on some models soon. New shipments will only be available in March as China is currently on their big Chinese New Year vacation and it takes them time to get back to normal. Really doing our best to adapt to the higher sales but we don't want to order to many of each model as if there is an issue with the quality/performance we don't want to be stuck with allot of them. Our goal is to supply the best price on the best packs so we rather be a bit cautious and out of stock sometimes and have happy customers when they do get our packs.

Yes that is the case. Problem we have seen in the past few years is C rates increasing on the labels but the cells have not increased. So using C rates nowadays is pretty much useless.
