Does anyone have any experience with this sort of setup? Is it possible to run high current setups, for example 70 Amps. I am really tired of performing bad cell swaps. Something like this can save a lot of time and make it much easier to swap/exchange cells. Thanks

I've never even heard of these before. They look great, I wonder if button to can produces a large enough contact area to pass high currents as well.
I'm always having to replace cells requiring some soldering. This year I have 2 sub C cells and one AA cell from a transmitter pack fried. I will probably end up using the 4/6 good sub c cells for a receiver pack in a gas boat. I'm sick of replacement.

I make my own packs and have some 5 years old (rx packs) I think the key to keeping cells a long time is not over charging. If I had that many failures I would buy a better charger or cut down your charge rates.

I always charge with a reasonable charge rate. And I don't think I should buy another charger.
I need to cut down on the amount of packs I own. The key to storing them is maintainance. Always keeping them topped off and such. Not always do I get time to maintain all packs. Thats why these power tubes look fairly cool. Very easy to swap cells.

EDIT: Yes, I know I'm missing a dial knob
Had to perform a repair quite common to T2's. But it's totally fixed
