TQ Cells!

cool great to hear Steve!!

What kind of numbers are you seeing? Volts, air, runtime etc...

Now thats funny right there!

:rolleyes: :tongue: .........

can't wait to get mine!! :woohoo:

I'll have to go to the source ...................NO-ONE carries TQ down this way. I have enjoyed the 42's from TQ and look forward to the 46's. :woohoo:

Steve could you PM or email me on this ? (getting cells from you direct)

My 4200s still hanging with the eg4600s.

Jake :thumbsup:

Steve, sent you an e-mail.

(All it says is..."You don't like 13.5?" if your wondering). Curious about your thoughts.......

Have a couple 4600s comming cant wait to try them. :woohoo:

Jake

got my tq cells.. they look great ! have not had chance to try them yet.. hope to do some testing on friday. want to ask a question about the 4600's.. i have a battery doctor to tray my packs... when i tray the packs i have the leads to my gfx on the pack while it is being trayed. i monitor the volts thru the traying process.. i need to know should i stop the traying at 4 volts or wait until all the lights go out on the tray? i usually have 2 or more lights out at 4 volts but was not sure if all of the lights needed to be out for the pack to be equalized.

That tray will discharge the cells at a low rate and take them well below 1V. I don't use it for that reason. The problem is the amount of time the cells will stay below 1V. Example: 0-30 will take the cells below 1V, but it's a high rate discharge and the cells will only be below 1V for a few seconds which won't harm the cells.

Kept under 1V for too long, a cell might permanently lose runtime capacity thus changing its whole characteristics (charge time, etc) you then get this particular cell out of match versus the other cells in that pack. That can lead to overcharged cells and possible worst issues.

IB 4600s were bangin tonight at the ole club race,thanks Jason.

What about the Novak tray?

If you can set the discharge cutoff at 1.0V, no lower, you're fine.

Steve, I got my packs today. I wanted to thank you for the quick service and I cant wait to run them.

Thanks

Dylan Saturno

What about the Novak tray?

It's fine.

The battery doctor has a cutoff of approx. .5V which is well below 1V. At 0.9V the smart tray is ok. If the cell's voltage bump back up over 1V once the load is taken off it'll be fine.

I'm putting the final touch on a batch of EnerG4600 cells ...

Cells will be matched and ready to ship as of this wednesday.

Steve you have a pm

So we can compair apples to apples...Do they have similar numbers to the IB 4600???

Hey Steve!

TQ Cells took second in the A main this weekend in 17.5 at Barre's New Year's Bash, 4200's, dead-shorted, non deadshorted, it didn't matter the packs were good!

So we can compair apples to apples...Do they have similar numbers to the IB 4600???

Yes.

The average EnerG4600 cells has approx. 10 seconds less runtime than the average IB4600 cells I did 2 weeks ago. Other than that they're identical.

Steve.

Good Luck to All TQ Guys at The Birds bring home the hardware.

Yes good luck to you guys...:thumbsup:

bump up.

(this is the 2008 thread).

Steve.

I now recommend the following charge threshold settings ...

IB4600 and EnerG4600
4-cell: 0.01V (or 3mV per cell)
6-cell: 0.02V (or 3mV per cell)

Steve.

Steve are you doing the EnerG Cells Also?

IB4600 and EnerG4600
4-cell: 0.01V (or 3mV per cell)
6-cell: 0.02V (or 3mV per cell)

YES

Hi Jason,

I did a batch in January for the birds.

I'm getting another batch in 2 weeks or so.

Steve.

Steve, great pitting beside you at the Freeze. Thanks for the support, and the friendship. You answered a lot of my questions that I had. Hope you had a good trip home.
Congrats on the 3rd place finish in Nitro LM, A-main.

Thanks, the drive back home was flawless.

I had a super time as well!

EnerG4600 cells are on order ...

I've been monitoring IB4600 and EnerG4600 reliability since Jan. and the EnerG4600 is holding up better than IB4600. Both are way better than what we've seen in the past but the EnerG4600 is the winner here ... doesn't self discharge as quick and numbers stay stronger ...

BTW, if any are looking for the best current lipo packs ... SMC 28C/5000 (2S2P) you can get these here at TQ Cells ... just drop me an e-mail ...

I beleive it is important that I state my point of view re: Lipos ... it happens to be exactly what Danny Sullivan at SMC thinks too ... here it is ...

Danny (SMC): "I have been against using Lipos in high end racing because I feel it will make racing to be not as competitive as it currently is. I also feel the info we have been given about Lipos being easy to maintain and use may not be as simple as originally thought.

What happens if you refuse to charge at 3C or warm up your pack to a certain temperature but all of sudden guys you were normally running with are faster than you but there doing all this crap ? You will either have to do it , just live with the fact you can't hang with them unless you do it or quit racing.

I should be happy that Lipos are now legal for racing as our Lipos have very good performance and were committed to staying on top of this market but believe it or not I just want RC racing to be competitive and fair. The current NiMh may not be the most reliable cells we have had but there is an abundance of great cells for everyone and this is reflected by very tight racing at the major races. How would you feel if you buy 140 dollar pack to go to a big race only to find out that your pack is obsolete because company X has a new pack that is .20 of a second faster on the track and it costs 175.00."

That is exactly my point of view as well ...

Steve the ENR-G packs I got are flat out killer. I TQ'd both 4 cell stock and 4 cell 13.5 at the local track yesterday. Won the stock and had trouble in the 13.5 main. Look forward to getting some more soon.

WITH ALL DO RESPECT (AND i DID SAY WITH ALL DO RESPECT) lol no seriously great post Steve.

... great post Steve.

It is part of the Geneva convention ... :p ... trademark rickybobby.

Steve.

zee ricky booooooooby you kill me.

Hey quick question I've haven't ran my packs in a couple of weeks is there ANYTHING special I should to to them for a race this weekend. because after the birds they sat 1/2 charged for like 2 weeks then I discharged equalized and cycled numbers were pretty darn good. then I put 10 mins back in them for the 1 week rest. R an them once on race day. and they felt awesome up front but then leaved off.

I was thinking that I should run them twice.

what do you think focker?

I personnaly runs my best 2 packs per race day ... pack #1 in heat #1 and #3 then pack #2 in heat #2 and main.

Your EnerG4600 battery packs can be stored 50% charged and they'll be fine for 5-6 weeks without any problem ... just follow the TQ procedure and you'll be fine (4600 battery care section at www.tqcells.com (http://www.tqcells.com)).

10-4 frenchy that will be the plan. got the warm up race for Daytona Speedway this saturday.

been busy but good news got Scott F back on the CW aggressor plan

Steve,

Just wanted to thank you for the continued quality of product and the support of our team.

At the February Freeze, it was TQ Cells that took down the TQ in EDM Stock, (TQ'ing all 3 rounds) and the win in EDM Mod, by 2 laps over the competition-some of which ran LiPo.

6 out of 8 in the EDM Stock A-Main were on TQ Cells, and in EDM Mod TQ Cells finished 1,2,3.

Thanks again for the continued support- :thumbsup:

Hi Steve,

All of my 40amp 4200s seem stronger on carpet than the 4600s. Thoughts?
