Danny,

I've been cycling some of my brand "X" packs with the Turbo, since this one only gets used with Lipo's I soldered the sensing leads directly to the Deans plug with the voltage leads. Do you see a problem with that? Looks like that is what you are doing, just with the alligator clips.

This may not be something you are ready to discuss...but how do you think or what are your guys seeing with the average voltage numbers in comparison to say a Nimh? I know none of the Lipo's I have tested so far have the punch of my top shelf Nimh's, but none of them have as high of average voltage either. What I am struggling to understand is the relationship of the two cell types. Since we know a Lipo does not drop of as bad through a run is it a fair comparison?

Just curious as to your findings and thoughts.

Thanks,
Mark
