Finally, a Speed Run LiPo that performs - CNHL 5000mAh 70C LiPo Battery test vs Zeee 

CNHL have been my go-to pack for a few years now, predominantly for EDF and large electric air applications, although now sourcing some smaller cells for boats (spinning a prop through water draws current like nothing else lol). You are probably aware of the battery testing on RCGroups, where CNHL perform well in some years, but not so much in others. And therein lies the rub, right? We cant know where brands are sourcing their cells from and our favourite packs may not be consistent from year to year. At the end of the day, all I expect is a fair price for a fair battery. Testing like this goes a long way to enabling those sorts of decisions.

I did a test between Zee 6200mah 100c vs CNHL 90C 6200MAH. The cnhl was 10mph faster than the Zee lipo. By far the new SMC v3 speed run lipo is the best i have tested.

you are by far the best most detailed scientific rebiewers

Dude, learn how to say against like you have a pair.

I've only been running cnhl for the past 2 years for my testing batteries. SMC still has faster packs but not by much and for double the price. Use the cnhl till you max out then use an smc to get the final top speed pass. Been seeing + 8mph difference between cnhl and other brands like spektrum, zee, traxxas, hrb, hoovo, power hobby etc.

Just ordered the 6.0 Ah of the G+ line. I'm very curious now.

Great batteries, especially for racing qwads. Im a nitro guy for rc cars, so I haven't tried them for that.

I would love to see you test an smc battery, I would imagine they would be the best batteries you can get a hold of (if they ship to Canada). I would suggest taking a look at the rc groups lipo load testing forum, just this year alone they were able to do scientific load testing to over 55 lipos from different brands. (It’s a EDF paradise!)

Measuring the internal resistance of batteries is a sensitive process. Accurate measurements are not possible using the thin balance cable. You must subtract the resistance of the cables between the meter and the battery from the value obtained. Since you do not take this into account, you are constantly showing the internal resistance of the batteries as higher than the actual value.

I have done a datalog with the smc speed run v3 6200 4s pack. The smc 6200 srd will handle 350 amps for a few seconds.

Ya dude I just bought a cnhl black series 5000mah 65c, o have not ran ot yet. But the reason why I got a cnhl was bcuz there c rates. Bcuz I'm sure that u all know that ALOT of battery manufacturers lie on there c rates. And they r a great value for what ur getting. Thanks again Aron.

A bit weird that the HRB didn't surpass all the other brands, I've used all kind of Lipo packs brands and HRB proved to be top quality & performance, HRB cell tabs are connected in series by spot welding as opposed to all other brands who cook the heck of their cells while joining them by soldering, and it definitely shows in form of *major* inconsistency of internal resistance. Don't ask how I know their insides, (spoilers: I've crashed many, had to open the wrapping) My 6s HRB packs I've had for 4 years still perform incredibly well. Thanks for listening to my TED talk. Happy racing Ryan, All the best!

only in Canada eh! pity.

CNHL 70c are very good speed running bang for the buck pack.

Nice! I have a couple of the 5500mah 3S 120C bricks from Zeee and I'm happy with them so far. People are saying they are actually around 80-100c but that's plenty more than the 50c 2200mah packs I was running. Good for bashing, but I'd think you would want to match your C rating and Mah so you don't have too much draw or not enough 'gas' in the tank for speed running.

Hi Ryan. Has a safe and happy holiday. Any new projects for next spring ?

What about quality control and safety with these budget brands? Have you found any information about this? Performance info is great, but general reliability and safety is my primary concern.

Ran both of these in 1/8 off - road buggys ; the ZEES ended up puffy or not charging evenly ( pre - puffed ? ) and consequently disposed of correctly ( not kidding , do this guys ) I'm personally leaning towards higher C rather than larger stated MAH as a go - to even if there's a fudge factor in both ...

Please test the HRB graphene and the HRB premium 100c

Great info. But if we know for sure that the numbers are especially exaggerated when getting 100c and above why not make test on the lower battery pack. Lower being those being marketed as simply 30c back and say 5000mah or 6000mah or whatever. Would the lower C (which generally also means less cost to our wallets) is a better and more realistic purchase? Maybe the lower C packs outperform their ratings. Or that could all be wishful thinking. Anyway you can test some of the spektrum smart batteries? Maybe the g1 packs since they have balance leads. But the g2 packs offer options up into the 120C range and pretty large mah capacity.

Chnl is the best for bang for buck.

At the end you said there not the best. Im genuinely asking not being sarcastic. In your opinion whats the best lipo for the money

Ive gotten 130mph plus on 3s parallel with CNHL 70c. In a big 1/7 scale, Arrma. Fantastic lipos for the price. SMC are better, but of course, they cost more too.

Do you think that the CNHL 90c G+ 5000mAh will be better?

great video

Whats a good C rating for speedruns?

I had no idea you are Canadian. I purchased 2 CNHL 6.0 6S lipos. Thank you for all the hard work over the years

How about having a vehicle equipped with sensors to measure (and record) this data in real time for later analysis?

Test onyx batts. And smc because they are the leaders. Thanknu i love your work.
