[NSRCA-discussion] Zippy 5S pack weight findings

[Bob Kane]

I only have a couple of cycles on them. The power is fine, I have way too much with any of the packs :)

I keep track of the cycles and report later in  the season.

Bob, what has been your experience with the Zippy Compact packs?  How do they hold up?

I own two different types of Zippy lipo packs, all 5000mAH, 5S, 25C. I have 4 older copies of the "regular" pack, 4 copies of the Zippy Compact , and 2 new copies of the regular pack.  I was getting the newest set ready to use and noticed they seemed heavier than the older packs.  I compared them, and found the new packs to be made up of slightly thicker cells and the wires were heavier gauge. I weighed them all, and these are the results:

Old Zippy 25C:   640g/pack (45.2 oz total for two packs)
New Zippy 25C:  690g/pack (48.7 oz total for two packs)
Zippy Compact 25C:  600g/pack (42.3 oz total for two packs)

The HK website shows the weight of the regular 25C pack as 640g, they must not have not checked the new stock.
