PACK SIZE 95.7mm x 46.5mm x 24.7mm we call them shorty packs but they put out the same performance as the bigger heavier packs with the same Mah and C rating.

I'm not sure if anyone make a bigger MAh over 4400 but I'm sure the bigger shorty packs are just right around the corner. It seems like the lipo packs are getting bigger and strong month by month.

Lighter batteries is not really much better with boating. There are many racers that run lipos that add weight to their boats, sometimes lighter is not better. Battery placement is looked on more than weight.
