I have recently purchase several new packs to replace my old 2000's. I have a TC3, so I have the option of buying the batteries in stick or saddle/side x side configurations.

After cycling these packs (Trinity Team 2400's) several times, and noting the numbers on my Turbo 35 charger, I now wish I had never bought ANY stick packs.

Here is how they compare, using the best results:

.................Stick.......Saddle

IR:..............31..........26.5
Avg. Voltage:....1.102.......1.132
Run Time.........308.........321

I charged them at 4.5 amps with a .05 volt loopback and discharged at 25 amps down to .90 volts per battery.

These numbers all held for all batteries; even the worst saddle was better than the best stick.

I had always heard that saddle packs were best, but now I know for sure. :rolleyes:

So, anyone wanna buy 3 2400 Trinity Team stick packs? :)

$60 plus shipping each. Steal them. ;)

But I would prefer to sell all 3 at once.
