A couple points to note:
  1. If those new packs are LiHV and your current issue are LiPo they might not actually have more capacity. The rated capacity of a LiHV only applies when charging to LiHV voltages.
  2. Battery ratings are often big fat lies. I've never had a pack reach the rated capacity. At best I get about 80% when measuring between full charge and full discharge. These new packs might be stretching the truth even more. And don't get me started on C ratings, I've got a 10000 mAh pack rated at 130C (1300A) and it struggles when I pull 150A.
