I know! I ordered those batteries about 10:15am on Friday, amazon prime, Yet they aren't gonna be here til Tuesday, which is crazy cause I've gotten packages from amazon on sunday before. :facepalm: Though now I'm looking at the ones I got [efest] I'm kinda nervous cause I don't know if 20a is gonna be good enough, just have to make em work.
Good Morning all. USPS put the screws to me again. Can't believe they can't get something 170 miles in 10 hours.

Do the max at 20 or run at 20 and max at 35? If they are the 2500 mah you should be fine.

It said the battery was 3100mah on the page, which kinda threw me off a little cause I read that 20a was at 2500 max, but then again I didn't look at the date of the post and that could be old. Either way considering I'm running a 2000m now, it would be a step up, or absolute worse case, a bad label and it's 2000, but hey new battery. The one I have now is atleast a year old and was running 24/7 in mech being used atleast every 5 minutes lol.

Well, we'll see what happens on Tuesday afternoon :lol:

I think I'll order those 2 - 20A Efests for that M80 I ordered. I think it takes dual 18650s in parallel and I can't imagine ever topping it with anything that would create a 40A load. That should bump it up from a 4400mAh device to a 6200mAh device and I can just sell the ones that come out of it or put them away for a rainy day.

It's almost there, the snow is almost as tall as I am.. still snowing, there's hope :?:

My wife wants snow. I hate it. Looks like we're not gonna get winter this year. We've had a couple dustings and that's it. It's been crazy warm, for this part of the country, most of the time.

BTW, I'm rethinking buying those Efest batteries...found some Samsung 25Rs for less than $7/ea. if I buy 4 of them and the reviews compare favorably with the venerable Sony VTC5. That would still give me a 5000mAh rating, but with much better documented test bench results. Still researching...I have plenty of time.

You have to see if it is fulfilled by a 3rd party or Amazon. Amazon prepares packages pretty much 24/7 while other vendors have their own hours.

I do love Amazon prime, I bought my wife a bench for the foot of our bed that she has been wanting and I get free two day shipping on furniture it's great.

You know that the batteries you run in dual should be married together right. Use them together charge them together and they should never be used separately or single use in other devices. I'm no electrical engineer this is just what I have heard and read all over.

Yep, from what I've seen and heard, that's the way I understand it too. Will do.
