SMC LIPO BATTERY THREAD
#1503
Actually they were from our last shipment but we always put a few less packs on the site than we have as we have to go through the packs and check for balance and IR to make sure the packs are at spec. Once we get near to the end and all packs have been tested if we didn't have many packs with issues we will add what is left to the site.

If I won't be racing/using the battery much, it is better to wait to buy them until later or OK to let them sit for several months (or maybe a couple of race days in 3-4 months)? Also, any plans for a less expensive saddle pack? 70C seems like overkill for 4wd mod class.

As long as you don't leave them stored for long periods of time you will be fine. Typically to be safe we recommend cycling the pack every 8 weeks or so.
No plans for a cheaper saddle pack as the current one we have is priced low for the quality. Never tested a cheap one that did good in my cycle life test and performance test.

I'm not trying to be critical, but want to buy the right stuff for the upcoming indoor season. I used el cheapo china nano-tech stuff last year and had mixed results.

Was wondering what the deal was as I have been waiting for them to come back in stock and checking the website daily and all of a sudden they were back . I am sure they will all be ok but what should the IR read ? I have a Hyperion charger that shows the IR of the pack its charging .....
Will be ordering a few more if they are as good as I have heard and a lot of people I race with are wanting them as well

Sounds reasonable. I was thinking of this one for 2wd mod: http://www.smc-racing.net/index.php?...product_id=121 You don't think that would be adequate for mod racing because it's too low of quality? This is what I was referrring to, but in a saddle configuration.

We can't release a cheaper saddle pack as saddle packs don't sell anywhere close to the quantities of what regular packs. At the price of our saddle pack you get a top end pack at mid level price.

.......Pushing our supplier to get us more packs but seems like first week of July is when more packs will be available.

Yes we can but must use UPS. We have better rates from UPS in Hong Kong so we can ship Internationally via HK. Only problem is we must have packs available and currently only saddle packs and 4600 shortys are available from HK.

Not sure of the IR on the chargers as that depends on the charger , charge amps and ambient and pack temp. All I can tell you is the packs we ship are at the specs we expect for that model.

Cool , dont feel bad NOBODY has any 4s packs for sale at what IMO is a reasonable price . Your 4s packs are a VERY good deal IMO for what they spec at which is why I jumped at them when I saw them go up for sale on the website .....
