Hey Guys,
Thanks for your questions and inputs. We have been testing these batteries for almost a year now and have had great results, so we decided to begin importing and selling them.
Since we purchase them direct from the factory, the price point is much lower than the name brand packs. A name brand battery will pass from the factory to the manufacturer (Reedy, Trinity) to the supplier (Great Planes, Horizon) to the hobby shop and then to you the consumer. By purchasing directly, we cut out 2 levels of pricing markup. So this is why the batteries are such a bargain.
As for capacity, we have tested many of the batteries and found them to be quite reliable. For example, the 7200mah battery consistently charges from 3.2V per cell to 4.2V per cell at 7150-7300mah.
For power output C-Rating, we have not done any extensive testing due to the fact that we do not know a way to accurately measure this. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
But, we have tested them against other battery packs to try to 'feel' the difference in power, if any. We ran three batteries in a Losi SCTE for 4 weekends of racing. The SCTE is equipped with a Tekin RX8 and Novak 4.5 550 motor. The batteries used were a Reedy 6500 65C, a Turnigy NanoTech 6600 65C, and the Vant 6000 80C. The Vant consistently felt more punchy than the Turnigy Nanotech. It also felt equal to the Reedy.
Also keep in mind that the 6000mAh 80C battery has been inspected by and has passed ROAR's LiPo requirements. Another vendor of these battery packs has also had the 4000mAh Shorty pack approved by them as well.
The batteries also come with a great 6-month warranty through us.
Any other comments or findings, please post! We are quite interested in seeing results of these Vant batteries in real use situations.
Kind Regards,
Chris
