So my assumption is they go out of balance more as they age. </span><br><br><hr><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma; font-weight:bold">From: </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma; font-weight:normal;">Michael Ramsey <milehipilot@gmail.com></span><br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma; font-weight:bold">Sent: </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma; font-weight:normal;">Wednesday, July 30, 2008 8:23 AM</span><br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma; font-weight:bold">To: </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma; font-weight:normal;">'General pattern discussion' <nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org></span><br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma; font-weight:bold">Subject: </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma; font-weight:normal;">Re: [NSRCA-discussion] battery question</span><br><br><div><span class="789222213-30072008"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">A related question: Is it true that the cells are "matched" in a pack?

Also cheaper to replace a 5 cell pack if a cell goes pre-maturely and you do not like to replace cells. You might find use for a 5 cell pack by itself. Smaller plane, Heli etc. The downside is that you have to add a little weight for a Y connector to connect both packs. <br>A 10S pack is a "little" easier to secure in the plane. I will probably only buy 5 cell packs from now on. Currently trying out the True-RC packs.<br><br>Stuart<br><br>Anthony Romano wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:BLU124-W22045A1089C320113B6F92E27D0@phx.gbl" type="cite"><style>.hmmessage P {
