Default RE: New maxamps 5000mAh 3s lasted like 5minutes in the cold??

I used it like 5-10 minutes after I charged it. I ran it again today when it was a little warmer out. Probably around 35-40 degrees and it did last a bit longer but still not very long. I'd say it was full power for like 7-8 minutes and than there was that noticeable drop in power again for the next 2-3 minutes before I clipped my fence and broke a front caster arm and stopped running it obviously. I drove to my LHS and fixed the truck and will run it again tomorrow to see what happens.

For the record I disconnected the battery as soon as the charger started beeping. Should I have let it go for another 20-30 minutes aftet the beeping??
