What has happened to the data sheets from Intellect's web pages ?. I am trying to get the data sheet for their SC3600 Cell. I have the one for their SC4200 but cant find any of them anymore.

The reason is I have now purchased 6 Raw SC3600 cells so I can do a fair comparison with the Raw Sanyo RC3600HV cells. (Apples with Apples as some put it).

Initial results of the SC3600 are quite poor. The Internal resistance is considerably higher than the RC3600HV's and the Average voltage on a 10 Amp discharge was noticably lower. The Run time was about the same.

Also, Just for a laugh. Someone posted a message saying Sanyo cells were only good for Battery Powered tools. Well this is what I found on IB's web page about the SC3600.


Key Specifications/Special Features:

SC size NI-Mh rechargeable battery
Up to 3600mAh
High rate discharge up to 20C
Widely used for R/C toys and power tools



I have also checked into why the RC Plane guy's are using the RC3600HV's and not the GP3600 or IB3600's. And I was correct with my guess. The Sanyo cells are lighter. And with planes weight is always a problem.
