Are these good specs for a 4300 battery?

[simon]

Weight: 408g
Capacity: 4300mAh Measured at 860mA (0.2C) discharge.
Capacity > 4000mAh - At 30A discharge
Max Discharge Current: 35,000mA (35 Amps!)
Max Charge Current: 6,000mA
Internal Resistance: <15mOhms when fully charged (<2.5mOhms per cell)

Yes those are good specs on paper, but i bet the product does not deliver (1) the voltage under those loads or (2) The capacity. Is this a product you have found other than that supplied by IB or GP because even these two manufacturers struggle to live up to their advertised claims in my experience.

Hi,
Yes have seen these on ebay,item number,300065269881.....i need to buy some new batterys and these look good,and a good price..but not knowing to much about batterys,just want some good advice,by people who know!!
Thanks.

I could not view that item because the item had finished (did you buy it?). I looked at the other RC batteries on their shop and it looks like generic no-name stuff out of China (GP and IB are also out of china). It will be a case of you pay your money and you take a chance. I see they do sell some of the 4300 red sleeved products which i have in the office for testing - although those samples arrived at the office with the sleeve split on a number of the cells not a good start!).

Remember that although you would probably be OK at club level, you would not be able to run these batteries at sanctioned BRCA meetings as the cells would not apprear on Paul W's cell list.

Just checked again, yes the cells in that pack you looked again are the same as i have in the office. They badged as VAPEX. A colleague of mine met them at an Exhibiton in Germany and that is where the samples came from. I see they have a UK website but it looks like that is someone importing and selling on-line only. Very cheap.

I will test the samples I have in the office and give some feedback in a week or two.
