All kidding aside, they may not be 'a fraction' of the cost but, I noticed that it seems SMC has also lowered their prices. I bought 2 6000mah 80c packs from SMC last year and paid $60 each. Since then I've only paid between $25 and $40 per pack for Turnigy Nano-Techs.

After recently doing an IR check on all my packs, I found the SMC packs each had a cell with incredibly high resistance while all my Nano-Techs are about equal.

To each his or her own....
We were testing the race formula packs,these held a pretty low ir for 100 cycles,What specific nano techs are you using?
updated first post with all testing data

It sounds like you're describing the shape of a graph. Can you just post the graphs? A picture is worth a thousand words after all

These are true driver impressions using sct. We wanted to do real world testing for actual loads rather than simulated loads.

Trakpower and Protek (as well as many others) are Intellect cells, so might as well just test the Intellect ones.
