Exactly that

It come from back in the day when batteries were not good enough to use as much power as was available for a full 5 minutes. There was a real skill to getting to 5 minutes at a decent speed...... New technology batteries coming out half way through a year could make a big difference.

Anyway, that's history......

And before you say that isn't the case any more, well I actually agree with you, it isn't the case. There are a handful of factories making the internals to our Lipo packs, so performance is fairly even (in my opinion) between many packs.

BUT

No one has proposed we don't bother with the list any more, so we still have it.

Make sense?
