LiPo Shootout 2 – Voltage Under Load Test
Packs were fully charged at 1C, then discharged at 30 amps continuous to a cut off point of 6.0 total volts by a Competition Electronics Turbo 35. We chose 30 amps because it’s a heavy enough load to create problems in weak packs, and it’s also a relatively close load to what many drivers will pull when using brushless motors. The higher voltage that a battery can put out under a load, the faster that it is going to feel on track.
| Points | Manufacturer/Battery | Voltage Under Load |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ACE | 7.22v |
| 2 | Venom | 7.21v |
| 3 | Checkpoint | 7.19v |
| 4 | Hyperion | 7.18v |
| 4 | Zippy | 7.18v |
| 6 | JGB | 7.17v |
| 7 | Common Sense | 7.17v |
| 8 | Winforce | 6.84v |
