Uhuh whatever. Some of us buy 5 or 6 hour rated packs and only use them for 2 or 3 hrs for a reason. 80-90% blah blah doesn't matter to me. I am intentionally only using maybe 60% max of the pack capacity because I don't want to replace them. The can itself is only marginally bigger than something sized "just enough" anyway.Dashrynn wrote: I just want to clarify, I NEVER said anything about how much you use from the NIMH pack. I stated you can normally only use 80%-90% of its calculated capacity. This is mostly due to self discharging (20% or more in some, within first 24 hours).
Also I would like to note the venom 5000mah pack is 36 watts, not much difference between 32.4 and 36(unless we are talking nitrox ).
For the OP this is just a suggestion to buy more battery burntime than you think you need. You'll either grow into it, or it will last a nice long time.
