New team powers. Low ir and good quality. You get what you pay for

I like the team trinity white carbon batteries. Anybody else have any experience with them?

ive also used gens ace but only for bashing, not saying they aren’t great for racing though.

VooDoo Cells
Yep, ton of guys at WOCRC using them. I use Orion or Gens Ace myself. SMC puffs within 1-2 uses 50% of the time for me.

I currently have and run a protek 4900 ,reedy 4800 and smc 4000 true spec extreme battery's. on my I charger 406 after 1 cycle (40a discharge 40a charge) the smc has the lowest resistance . The protek and reedy both take about 800 more mah than the smc witch should be expected (4800/4900 vs 4000). The ohms per cell are constantly lower on the smc than the protek and the reedy battery but only like .1-.3 per cell . I only have a few runs on the smc but so far so good , Good punch and its less than half the price of the other two battery's i have . only time will tell we will see how long it lasts but so far i am happy with the performance and very happy with the price . protek and reedy both have great battery's and definitely quality but you get what you pay for

2 of mty SMC 4000mah (new version) and Promatch 6000mah cracked after 2 months of racing.

they are amazing batteries but the case is not heavy duty.... base on my experience.

My Maclan HV Graphene pack is still going strong after 1 month... we will see.
