The more capacity you try squezzing out, the less reliable it becomes, is impossible to increase capacity and retain stability.

I'm pretty sure we that a lower capacity cell would be a bit more reliable but I think the majority of the problem comes from the increase in voltage. IB3800s were 1.21 at best now 1.23 is the standard.

Some racers are well educated when it comes to cell capacity but ever since EP released 4600s we have gotten many emails asking when we would have 4600s so the fact it that some still think capacity is relative.


For those looking for numbers we really can't post exact numbers as were waiting for our first shipment that is due in next week. Based from what we have seen sample wise we hope that they will be 440+ with 1.23+
