[NSRCA-discussion] Zippy 5S pack weight findings

[Jim Quinn]

I switched to the NanoTech batteries this year.They are 5S 4000 25~50 C.
I only have 6 cycles on my four flight packs.
Usually a Masters sequence uses about 2000mah, about 50% of the battery.
They weigh 7oz+ less than my Zippys.
I've used my Zippys about 100cycles  each andd they still had good power.
The cost of Nanos was about the same as the Zippys.
For my money I'll stick with Nanos!

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.
