Default Lithium Application Basics

Another view of the packs reveals a total cell count of 12 cells. The cells are arranged in a 3s4p configuration which provides an average current delivery of 24amps. (1200x5x4). The peak current delivery is about 38-48amps (8C - 10C).

This current delivery capability is a good fit for my AXI 2820/10 powered Wipa Firecat application.

The good news is that this pack increases my CP1700SCR duration to 4800mAh and drops the weight from 16.8oz to 11.7oz. This is 2.8 times the flight time with a 5oz drop in weight! A fantastic gain indeed!

The bad news is that the price is about 4 times the pre-assembled CP1700 pack. (about $200 vs. $50)
