ORIGINAL: Nightshift
Hi A123!
I have been reading at your new thecnologie for a while on this forum and on a other forum to.
i got a associated T4 that is equiped with a LRP sphere esc that i run with a neo one 1 star (Brushless system)
I use to power that with some 7.2v NHIM 3800 battery pack from POLE POSITION.
This summer i sold most of my pack because i wont to switch to a better thecnologie for next winter racing.
I was thinking of LIPO or LIMG until i heard about you.
I got no lipo charger . so it gone a be a fresh start for the next thecnologie.
We run 5 minutes race off road dirt track.
what do you suggest for a complete set up .
I used to have 8 packs for my racing day : 4 for practice and set up the car
1 for each qualif. (3) and my best one for the final (1) total of 8.

Nightshift,
I'd recommend two of the 2s1p 2300 packs.
They will give you the same performance - no more worrying about which pack is the "best" pack.
As with other Lithium technologies, these batteries have an extremely low self-discharge rate so you don't have to worry about peaking them right before racing. You can even charge them a couple days before the race and not notice any decrease in the battery's performance.
The A123Racing packs also shouldn't heat up during a 5-minute race, and can be put directly onto the Hypersonic charger to be freshly charged again in about 10-15 minutes. If they happen to get a little warm, you may want to let them cool for a few minutes before charging them.
You can always have one pack charged while using the other, so you should never be out of business.
