A123 CELLS

[psycho_fling]

well there aren't really any other options that i can see open to me

[typhoon_driver]

Make your own again?

[psycho_fling]

well my last attempts weren't successful and that also cost money this way the risk is less in my eyes

[typhoon_driver]

Fair play, I'd offer to solder you up a pack but I wouldn't be able to do so anytime soon as I'm not gonna be back in my workshop for a good month at least.

[psycho_fling]

any one else with comments or opinions on what i should do?

has anyone maybe bought Nicad packs custom made form RMP before? an opinion on those would be useful also

Thanks

how many cells do u have good what packs do u want ill make them at fairford for you ok

Alex, we bought a set of Nicads from RMP a few years ago, one pack went up in smoke which was probably due to us charging them after fighting Thz without inspecting them so that may have had some damage. The other packs still works perfectly, seem well made although Technobots packs seemed to have more protection but that means they keep their heat longer.

cheers Ed i have got the packs now and from looking at them they look well made and fit nicely into the battery bays yet to charge or test them

Actually who makes the RMP packs is BattlePacks

In RioBotz we used several packs from them, both NiCd and LiFe, really good stuff.

Although a bit pricey since 2007 not even a pack had issues.

Cheers,
Eduardo

Would these be the normal spec for A123 cells that are used now by the heavyweight teams ?
