Square Batteries Are Awesome,
 

but I cannot say the same for saddle packs. I was using saddle packs for about 6 months and got tired of the wiring hassle(especially charging,) so I tried an SMC square battery, and now I am hooked. Saddle packs can claim all they want as far as mah and c rating, but the square is far superior in every way. Saddle packs are notorious for blowing up, as too much is being asked of them. Look at the size of a square pack, and it becomes obvious that saddle packs don't compare, no wasted space. If you can run a square, don't even look at saddle packs. Plus one battery looks way cleaner!
