Group 4-80 Amp Continuous Current Lipo Testing & Shootout

This is my review, battery shootout and testing of the Indestructible Quads Armored Edition 80c 4s 1500mah, Hyperion G7 Silicon Graphene HV 75c 4s 1800mah, and the Indestructible Quads Prototype Gold Label HV 85c 4s 1500mah batteries. In this video I discuss the batteries technical and physical aspects, it's features, and I subject them to my 80amp continuous current discharge rig to see how they perform, and to see which battery comes out on top.
Here are some links to more information on the batteries used in this testing, along with where you can purchase them:

Let me just explain my testing methodology to help you understand my train of thought. I chose to use 80 amps as a good test bench mark for the high current applications that most mini quads can draw today, and I feel that an 80 amp continuous test load will mimic the most demanding situations that these batteries can be put through. Now lets be honest, are any of these batteries rated to continually output 80 amps for more than 5 or 10 seconds without exceeding their heat threshold or cycle longevity comfortably? Not from what I've seen in my testing, but to be honest who is really pulling 80 amps continuous from their setups in this battery category for extended periods of time except for top tier racing pilot's....
All the batteries in this line up were charged to 16.8 volts, then they rested for approximately 30 minutes, and the 1500mah batteries were drained down to 14 volts in bursts until they were depleted to 14.8 volts resting, which some went under as a result of a long last burst. Now I chose 14 volts for the 1500mah batteries because they seem to handle the high current voltage sag better than the 1300mah batteries, which is why I chose to lower the voltage sag limit on the 1300's to 13.5 volts before cutoff. Also to touch on the 120amp test, yes it was fun and interesting to see, but from what I saw from my testing, and what you see in the spreadsheet results, 3 to 6 seconds was the max burst times before the packs quickly hit 13.5 volts under voltage sag, and I don't really feel this test proved too much in way of results or differentiating between performance in a definitive way, so this 120amp test will probably not be featured in the future. In a nutshell the results of the 80amp test is the story teller, and to simplify the understanding and basic gist of this test, the batteries that had less bursts and bursted for longer periods are the clear cut winners performance wise, but there's also other factors such as price, weight, availability, and physical dimensions that come into play, all of which will ultimately effect your decision on your purchase.
