When you cycle your pack, what kind of average voltage numbers are you getting. I have two trakpower packs, and i was just wondering what other people were getting on theirs, or other style packs.

It's going to depend on what you are cycling them on. You will get different numbers on different chargers/discharger's. You can tell alot about your Lipo's going by the resistance. On my ICE if I get 20 to 30 mile-ohm's at 5 amp's discharge (without a balancer) with 10" wires then it's good. It only takes 2 1/2 min. to get the ohm's on a lipo with the ICE and that's all the cycling I ever do. If you get 40 to 50 mil-ohm's or more it will still work but you will have lower volts and punch.
So far how do you like your Trakpower lipo's and are they 4900's ??????

They are the 4900's. I love them. Its just when i cycled them the numbers werent so great on the gfx. But oh well, still good enough for me. (for now at least).

How long have you had them ??????
Have the # your getting stayed the same ?????
I'm going to be trying two TP 4900 is why I'm asking.
Thanks

I have had them since jan. this week was the first i had actually ran a cycle on them on the charger. They have worked great, better than all my nimhs had.

When I get any new Lipo's I cycle them and keep track of the resistance and volts for the 2 1/2 min. it takes to get the #'s, I do that one's a month. I've had 3 maxamps in the last 2 years, I had 2 other brands before that. They all were pretty good but I think the 2s1p lipo's stayed in balance longer then the 2s2p did.
How many ohm's are you seeing on your 4900's on the GFX ???

Cycling? what does this do for lipo? I have always cycled my NiMh packs but lipo's. Explain please....

IMHO
Lipo's are nothing like NiMh, There is no reason to cycle Lipo's unless you want to see how they are holding up. I want as many good runs as I can get out of them so I use a balancer every time I charge. When you use a balancer with a 7.4v 2s1p(2cells) both cells will get a full charge and there is no chance one cell will be under or over charged.

Thats what I thought...Thanks for the clarification...
