[samste]

Gave the 3.0 4S nanotech that Samste gave me a work out this arvo. Full throttle for 3.5min drawing 32A restrained. Plane fine but managed to blow the canopy across the loungeroom in to the furniture (ha, ha).

Battery puffed and was quite hot. Thought I might have pushed it too far. In to the freezer for 10 minutes. Cells tested at 3.77volts so not quite sure why it puffed and got hot. Probably because Samste has "strykered" it too many times. Power plant seems ok so ready for another session however the forecast for wind sucks from Wed onwards.

Edit: balance for the cells is from 4.08 to 4.19v so I think this battery is ready for the knackery. Charger jumping from 0.7A to 2.8A every couple of seconds and cells 1, 2 and 4 won't hold their voltage. After being strykered and fanjetted to the point of destruction, it took a foam Trojan to finish it off.

Heh Dave I'm Surprised about the nanotech Lipo, as i Only ever Used it in my Eflite lr1a pogo Plylon racer, which Drawed a Max amps of 60amps and probably only ever had about 20 flights and the lipo was Retired to the Storage Shelf and kept in flight bag for someone who may need to use it, time to time.
But i never really worried about giving it a charge or anything for a long Time 8 months or more, maybe that affected it.
And your only drawing 32 amps and that lipo i think could manage around 70 amps constant from memory. what is the c rating Dave ?

Edit, did a quick search on Hobbyking theres only one match http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...duct=11920

75 amps constant, lipo must be rs from non use
