I think the capacity is dead on. I have been landing at 3.40 to 3.45 per cell and I pump 7200 to 7250mah back in to the 7430mah stock/protek parrallel pack. Discharge curve is extremely stable, with a nice predictable accelated drop off once it his 3.60. I imagine however that a pure protek pack...

Hahaha, I dunno I mount mine on the top but now you make me want to put a wood panel skin and roof rack on it.....

I am building a 5s 3600 pack for my racing quad (Chameleon) that has T60 motors and will hit it with 170 amps at full throttle if the packs will do it. That's not even 50c. I have full telemetry (current, volt, watts, gps) on it. There is a mountain here in AZ I want to surf on the way down...

I have been flying all the way out in Whittman (Bell & 219th ave), Santan Mountains, and Casa Grande / Tucson mostly lately (Picacho Peak area). I travel the state quite a bit for work so I try to sneak in some flights when possible. I just watched your latest video, nice run by the way! I...

One would think Cycle life should go up, but time will tell. Normally the stock pack comes back hot with my style of flying. When they are run with the Protek, the temp has dropped significantly as the current demands have effectively been cut in half on the stock pack (and the Protek pack is...

Absolutely in LOVE with these 3600's. I have about 8 flights on them so far (Stock Pack + Protek 3600 pack in parallel) and it has taken my flight times on the stock pack that averaged 18-20min with a mix of sport mode flying and hovering ( I love going out for miles exploring in the AZ desert)...

Forgot to mention, if you don't already have one, go out and grab a soldering iron with digital temp control such at the hakko fx888d. Pick up a fine point tip and set the temp to 520F. This will melt the plastic on the mavic battery case like a hot knife through butter. No mess and no smoke...

Ya you have to mod th current resistor too, otherwise once it's hits 3400ma or so, it will force you to land as it thinks it's at 10%. We have to trick the system to think that it's the same size battery by lowering the resistance of the circuit with another current sensing resistor. If you look...

Oh ok cool, big thanks to Mubytrid too, these packs really are a game changer. I'm going to build some 4s and 5s packs for my racing quads. Will be nice to get 8 to 10min flight times instead of 4! I'll be doing the video and pics of the mods in the next day or two, picking up a new pack tonight...

Big thanks to Phxbird and others for bringing these Protek packs to our attention. Ive only had my Mavic for a few weeks but got the need for distance bug right away and was experimenting with a maxamps 1600 lihv pack (added 5-6min of flight time) when I saw Phxbird57 post. I was too impatient...
