Gazbaz2, I wasnt claiming that all IB cells were bab and unreliable, in fact i was claiming that a small batch on the newer IB4200 WCe cells were bad, i have never heard of IB3800's being bad so it OK
Hehe, bit hipocritical there as i joined its a good forum if you want to take it that far but i got banned for 1 hour for posting a link to a motor on model sport

Previous cells were Orion/Peak matched GP 3700's and after a dozen or so charges even using a Novak Smart Tray and Spintec charger the matching had gone. As far as your IB3800's go I don't recall hearing the same concerns over the 3800's that there have been with the 4200's. I would have quite happily stuck with GP 3700's but they now seem to be in short supply, the GP 4300's didn't get very good right ups so I looked for an alternative. A few people at the club were using the EP's with no issues at that time so I thought I'd give them a go. Since then another member reported having one cell explode but I don't know under what circumstances.

You'll find this with all matched cells, IB, GP, EP etc no matter what regime people follow to look after them. The #'s on them are only as good as the day they come of the matching machine.

I had a couple of packs of IB3800s and they were pants. 1 pack vented on the first charge and destroyed it's self, the other pack vented a couple of charges later...
Tried IB4200s in my 12th car and they were ok but not much better than my BRM cells for the extra money they cost. GP3700s all the way... |

Hmm iv never heard of any problems with any other of the IB's, only 4200's.... and even then its just the new batch which seems to be dodgey. I have never had a problem with my 3600's when they were stick packs and i dont now there soldered up, still fairly punchy just dont give much runtime.

Yep and that's the point (sort of! )
They're so inconsistent from one pack to another. I like GP cells because they are very robust, the punch doesn't matter too much to me. |

Again, had no problems with Consistency or duration with mine, they still last good 10/13 minutes in my XX4 with good punch after over a year old "NICE"

Stick packs usually have a strip of metal thats machine spot welded to the + & - of the cell. They can be split to make saddle packs if your carefull
