Hi all.
I recently purchased some Trinity 4600 6cell team packs,,
They were crap?
I had to go to the local R/C shop, and pay a premium price for some SMC 4600 packs..At least 100 secs run time difference..heaps better cells..but they were iffy on consistancy..we had to basically change cells around after a run to get the discharge/charge times right....The numbers on the packs didnt mean too much to me as they were wrong....After full charge, some only had 1.13-1.17 volts straight off the charger..using muti meter on each cell..

It wasnt me either, a few others who waited for the 4600's had duds as well...
The shop I got them off was willing to break apart packs to replace dud cells..That was good..but i needed them during the event,, not after...He done the best he could,,Thanks ..
Tried all week before a major event, 1/12 mod brushless..couldnt get run time..Changed a lot to find the problem..
Then borrowd someones "old 4200's"..and i made the time..Wasnt i pissed.
I never abuse my cells..I took it for granted that "Team matched" packs would be fine..Ha!!!!!
I usually buy my cells in bulk and match my own..cheaper and easier.
I had some 4200..but was waiting for the 4600..as they were being legal in Aus on that weekend. 1st july.
I was running out of time..so i orded some off the net, paid fast freight..
And the rest is history..
I dont know if they are pushing the limits for capacity, but it seems that IB at least arnt doing to well..
I had some IB 3800...bought bulk..they were prety sad as well..ran my old GP3700..they were sooo much better...(where is GP now?)
any way,,the 4600's vented real bad...wasnt too happy about that either,,,
Just my little spit..
