Demon Firecracker Cells

burgie · #1 25-06-2007

Looking to buy some of the above cells....

Does anybody have any experience of them, and what are your thoughts on their lifespan/longevity?

I was looking to get the "team competition" packs, if they are in stock, failing that the cheaper "club packs".

If these are not the ones to go for, can anybody suggest an alternative?

The ni-mih cells i use now are GP3700's and are about 2 years old, so it's been a while since i looked at buying cells.

Thanks for any info!

Hey Chris,

Colin has bought a few packs of these and seems to rate them quite highly. They've recently become legal I think as well and have a slightly higher voltage similar to the GP4300.

Perhaps search for colinevan and PM him directly?

Not consiering the Kapow 4500's on the demon website??? At £27.50 a pack I'd be tempted to get a few sets and rag them at 6 - 7A charging!!!!

i don't think i would buy those just because of the name, oh and the colour.

David Pack has been using the Firecracker cells this season. They are very punchy, and seem to be ok so far.

The only problem he has, is that they go out of sync (I dont know the correct terminology) ie. they were matched and become unmatched.

If you equalise them before each charge, as he does, they are fine, however if you dont, you will find some cells becoming overcharged compared to others after a few cycles. I know this happens with all cells, but firecrackers appear to be more suseptible to this.
