    CNHL have been my go-to pack for a few years now, predominantly for EDF and large electric air applications, although now sourcing some smaller cells for boats (spinning a prop through water draws current like nothing else lol). You are probably aware of the battery testing on RCGroups, where CNHL perform well in some years, but not so much in others. And therein lies the rub, right? We cant know where brands are sourcing their cells from and our favourite packs may not be consistent from year to year.
    At the end of the day, all I expect is a fair price for a fair battery. Testing like this goes a long way to enabling those sorts of decisions.

    A bit weird that the HRB didn't surpass all the other brands, I've used all kind of Lipo packs brands and HRB proved to be top quality & performance, HRB cell tabs are connected in series by spot welding as opposed to all other brands who cook the heck of their cells while joining them by soldering, and it definitely shows in form of *major* inconsistency of internal resistance.
    Don't ask how I know their insides, (spoilers: I've crashed many, had to open the wrapping)
    My 6s HRB packs I've had for 4 years still perform incredibly well.
    Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
    Happy racing Ryan, All the best!

      Hey Eden, so far I'm not super happy with the hrbs. They are the lightest and smallest form factor though, so it does make sense they don't pack the same punch.

    I did a test between Zee 6200mah 100c vs CNHL 90C 6200MAH. The cnhl was 10mph faster than the Zee lipo. By far the new SMC v3 speed run lipo is the best i have tested.

    I've only been running cnhl for the past 2 years for my testing batteries. SMC still has faster packs but not by much and for double the price. Use the cnhl till you max out then use an smc to get the final top speed pass. Been seeing + 8mph difference between cnhl and other brands like spektrum, zee, traxxas, hrb, hoovo, power hobby etc.

    Ya dude I just bought a cnhl black series 5000mah 65c, o have not ran ot yet. But the reason why I got a cnhl was bcuz there c rates. Bcuz I'm sure that u all know that ALOT of battery manufacturers lie on there c rates. And they r a great value for what ur getting. Thanks again Aron.

    • @RCexplained

      C ratings can be quite far from the truth. That's why we do real world tests.

  • @scaleworksRC
    @scaleworksRC 10 месяцев назад +1

    Nice! I have a couple of the 5500mah 3S 120C bricks from Zeee and I'm happy with them so far. People are saying they are actually around 80-100c but that's plenty more than the 50c 2200mah packs I was running. Good for bashing, but I'd think you would want to match your C rating and Mah so you don't have too much draw or not enough 'gas' in the tank for speed running.

    • @ericklein5097

    I would love to see you test an smc battery, I would imagine they would be the best batteries you can get a hold of (if they ship to Canada). I would suggest taking a look at the rc groups lipo load testing forum, just this year alone they were able to do scientific load testing to over 55 lipos from different brands. (It’s a EDF paradise!)

    Ran both of these in 1/8 off - road buggys ; the ZEES ended up puffy or not charging evenly ( pre - puffed ? ) and consequently disposed of correctly ( not kidding , do this guys )
    I'm personally leaning towards higher C rather than larger stated MAH as a go - to even if there's a fudge factor in both ...

    Measuring the internal resistance of batteries is a sensitive process. Accurate measurements are not possible using the thin balance cable. You must subtract the resistance of the cables between the meter and the battery from the value obtained. Since you do not take this into account, you are constantly showing the internal resistance of the batteries as higher than the actual value.

    Great info. But if we know for sure that the numbers are especially exaggerated when getting 100c and above why not make test on the lower battery pack. Lower being those being marketed as simply 30c back and say 5000mah or 6000mah or whatever. Would the lower C (which generally also means less cost to our wallets) is a better and more realistic purchase? Maybe the lower C packs outperform their ratings. Or that could all be wishful thinking.
    Anyway you can test some of the spektrum smart batteries? Maybe the g1 packs since they have balance leads. But the g2 packs offer options up into the 120C range and pretty large mah capacity.
