[RURC]

I track all my lipos., which is all I use and have for almost 7 years in cars. I have packs with over 300 cycles. Now I cannot say for the first couple of years because they did not have chargers that recorded mah imput but I still have 2 packs that I have been running since the beginning and I still use that pack for practice. Not because of a drop in performance but because it is a soft pack, no one made hard packs back then and this is one of the many I made myself because no one even made car packs then either. These 2 cells after 6 minutes of practice are still with in 7% of original (as I can tell) mah rechargeing. I have Core RC 5000 packs with 137 and 144 charges on them respectively anad they act and respond the same as new within 2%. Now dont get me wrong I have had a lot of packs that have fallen off after a while but none that have gone beyond 15% over 150 cycles.

I am refeering to only those packs that I have owned since new and not ones I have tested for other manufacturers.

The Core RC 5000 are proving themselves to be very good packs. I my work I have found that they are the best bang for the buck. If you have to have the absolute top then Tanic is it. They hold better voltage under high loads better than any battery I have ever used, and last for well over 100 cycles. Just to clarify to me well over 100 charges would be around 150 or more. The Max Amps batteries do very well also in longevity but lack in voltage stability.
