Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Rechargable cells : What are Matched / Zapped cells.

PoFF · May 8th, 2006, 10:48

I've recently decided that I was tired of medium quality battery packs and I now aim to build one, ultimate pack.

My search for cells lead me to many RC car competition websites and altough I understand pretty much the concepts, those sites never quite defined what are Matched and Zapped cells.

I figure that matched cells must be cell with the exact same specifications (such as voltage, capacity and such), but how this is achieved and what big advantage does it gives to the user, since those cells are quite more expensive than the same unmatched ones.

As for Zapped cells, I've got no clue what it actually is, but my guess is that they send a high-current into those cells for short moment to do (no idea)?

Could anyone enlighten me?

Thanks in advance
