I was over reading on the other forum and I saw plenty of ignorant comments about GP3300 cells.
Cells matched at 20 amps will and can produce 1.19 average voltage. 1.19 is equivialent to a 1.16 @ 30 amps. The 1.17 would be over 1.20 at 30 amps.
Which current level is best for matching? I think it's fairly simple logic, the higher you go, the better for sprint boat racing. I don't think any class runs at 20 amps anymore except maybe a crackerbox.
New additional information that we have discovered about GP3300 cells:
These cells self discharge at different levels just sitting around. This different discharge rate can be a problem.
1. Slow charge packs made with non-matched cells the first time @ a very slow rate. <300mah. This slow charge will allow for all cells to be charged completly. Yes, even virgin cells are at different charge levels.
2. Repete this process if packs have been sitting for over 1 or 2 weeks.
3. New cycled or newly matched cells can be used asap without any process.
More information:
All cells with green/orange shrink are the same as Rainbow or sometimes refered to "New Red" shrink. The only difference is the deviation from date code to date code. We have two new batches right now and the green/yellow happen to be better than the "red". The batch in fact is the best I have ever seen. All cells are 400+ 1.160-1.175 @ 30 amps.
So the bottom line is....
Racers that are sponsored are never going to tell you the truth and posts false information to allow for them to sell cells for the sponsor. The truth is that they have the best cells and your offered the lower values.
