<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Mike,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The FlitePower F3A 5350 packs are two, 5-cell packs that are matched to each other. I know that FlitePower makes a big deal about keeping each 5-cell pack with its mate. I've kept track by numbering the packs and keeping the number 1 pair together, the number 2 pair together, and so on. I've been using them since the start of this season with good power and consistency. My understanding is that the matching results in a pair of packs that balance well to each other resulting in less work for the balancer, particularly when charged in series as a 10S pack. That's been my experience so far with about 40 cycles on each pair of packs. I have 4 pairs. Three of those were purchased at the start of the season. The fourth set was used by a friend briefly last year and found its way into my "fuel box". All four pairs consistently put out the same power. Hope this helps.</FONT></DIV>

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:

Other than cooling is there any down side to a 10s brick as apposed to two 5s packs?<BR>
