The better packs are able to hold a higher voltage under load and have a lower IR from the factory.
Click on the link I provided above, that guy originally charged his packs at 1C where I recommended for him to pump his packs instead and he saw drastic improvement in his IR findings across the board, however there were some lower quality brands that did not see as drastic of an improvement as others which is proof that brand of battery matters, especially when pumping to get max possible performance.
I love it when my competitors refuse to pump, then I get the advantage
