Dang that's gonna have some awesome overall amps. How long u reckon it will last? 6hrs?

[briggsandclones]

@brendonv101

Not even close lol. Amps are actually my worries, these pack decent power but can't put it out in big bursts like other battery chemistries...

[borderlineartistic]

i dont get it

[reatard132]

thats insane, how much did you pay for all those batts? and where did you get the tabs from?

[briggsandclones]

@reatard132

Eh, about $200 total... 

[ncrdisabled]

How much do you pay for the batteries?

[briggsandclones]

@ncrdisabled

Not a worry when they're cheap. I spent a month just surfin' through sites and fleabai.

[scrapkilla321]

How much for the battery's and were are u buying them at

[briggsandclones]

@scrapkilla321

About $1.74 a cell, in bulk.

[scrapkilla321]

@briggsandclones ok are you talking 1.74 each battery or when you put them to together to make a cell

[30GB]

holy shit, y not go with lipos? get 4 packs of 5000mah lipos batteries 3 cells each and put them together to make 20,000mah at 50c (20 x 20,000= 400,000mah burst) fucking destroy anything out there

[30GB]

@30GB woops i mean 20c not 50c

[briggsandclones]

@30GB

Just a 11.1v 20aH pack which can put probably 400a at 20C (and most are 30C so 600a)... but cost wise, an 11.1v 20aH pack = ~$120 shipped (eBay... *COUGH*).

An 11.1v 20aH pack 18650 wise is $52.49 (for where I buy my batteries at, assuming each 18650 can put out 2000mAh/2aH at best).

Pukerts effect is a bitch, so probably not even 2aH, and 18650's are meant for slow and even current draw, not O_O like the forklift moterz.
