Yes the Revo PL6 for the price per watts is unbeatable and if you hook it up to your PC it's fully adjustable. Been using the Pl8 for a few years and it's very good. Other high quality chargers are the iChargers and Hyperion chargers. Be careful with the super cheap chargers being offered online as typically these are made to be cheap and corners are cut on the boards and components.

Not exactly sure. Were in the process of switching these packs over to the factory that makes our Race Formula packs. I believe by the end of June or first week of May we should get more of these in but will have a better idea in a few weeks.

for me personally, the nano's were very good packs when they were new. but they quickly lost their punch. after 30-40 cycles i bought an SMC for the first time and difference was night and day. it literally felt like a one or two pinion tooth difference. i'm at least that many cycles deep into my SMC's and there is no noticeable drop off in punch. i can't understand why anyone would buy a nano when danny sells these packs at the prices he does.

Yes I do have IR measurements but they are useless as we use the ESR IR meter with a controlled temperature. Unless you own this meter and test at the same temperature we use the data is useless. The IR is lower than the Turnigy packs.
The price on the Canadian site will get updated once supply runs out as we just lowered out price in the US.

I've ordered some 5100-40C-4S. Don't want to go to low as the closer you get to using all the packs mAh this should make the pack wear out faster. I know some want to try and use 4200mAh but to me that just seems to close to using all the packs capacity.

Do you have a graph of the discharge curves for any of your batteries? I'm curious to know how much capacity I can use up before coming close to LVC. From using the pack I have I can use 2500 from a 5000 2S pack and still have the voltage at 8.0V.
