Why I buy Tanics from R/C Toys Inc (tanicpacks.com)

I've tried most all the major manufacturers batteries, and I keep going back to Tanic, here's why:
1. Ordered 2-2220 Narrow packs Late monday night, shipped Tuesday, arrived today. No excuses, no bull****, just great service. Not that I haven't received similar service from other companies, but this is what I get from RCToys.com Every Single Time!

I received both of them showing 11.35volts, they were charged on a Vision Ultra peak which appears to cut off at 95% charge as a safety factor.
I've just run my first cycle (2c) on both of them, and this is what it shows.

Updated with 4c graph.




I'm currently recharging them on my Orbit to get a full charge into them, and to see exactly how much i put back in, but so far they look excellent, and identical. Something I have not seen on the other packs I recently purchased. I'll do another cycle on them tomorrow and we'll see how they look after being charged on the Orbit, but from experience I already know what i'll see.

I'll second that, and don't forget the easily accessible taps!

Yep count me as third- Brian is great. The cells deliver on their capacity too. Mine charged to 2218 and 2216 on their first (full) charges. Very impressive and a fact not shared by all companies' battery claimed capacities.

Ditto here...I like the taps, the informative lable, the pack construction, the pack performance, the customer service...
I LIKE TANIC PACKS

Me too. My Tanic packs perform very well and I've gotten great service from Brian as well!

Well, I just met Brian (via e-mail) a few days ago, and I must say I'm VERY impressed with his customer service ethics. I won't go anywhere else from now on!

Are you aware / have you noticed that there appears to be a problem with your CBA unit? You (it) is showing higher capacity at higher discharger rates.


Perhaps this will help.

Of course there could have been a diiference in the charge level or _______.

I can't find Tanic packs on the RCtoys website - only Thunder Power packs. What gives?
