voltage all the way!

I have two GP3300 packs that have about ten runs on them, they are a team spec Orion (1st gen) and a top spec SMC (2nd gen), I did a 20amp dump on my CDC about 3 runs after I bought them, ten runs later, the orion pack had gone from 7.078 Va to 7.064 but dropped 1 minute of runtime, the SMC went from 7.000 to 6.896 and gained 1 second of runtime. Since I race stock the SMC numbers are a bit dissapointing, on the track there is a noticeable difference between them and the orion....the labels on the orion pack are 1.176/424, the SMC 1.172/415

Orion use competition electronics matchers these days...this is from a post by Rick Hohwart on the rccars forum, "Team Orion no longer uses Lavco equipment. All batteries are tested using custom CE equipment and have been for the past year." However the 'custom' part is probably where the unusual numbers come from....
