MaxAmps Launches 17S and 18S LiPo Batteries with New B80 Charger
Capped at 30: reliably dated 2023-08-25 — old news, not next-episode material. This is a clearly new product launch (17S/18S LiPo packs, B80 charger) with genuine announcement framing, but it's batteries/chargers—shop tools/consumables territory (40-60 range)—from a brand with zero prior history on this scale-focused crawler show. High-voltage LiPo configs and a charger skew toward general RC power systems rather than crawler/trail/scale content the show centers on. Fits loosely in the shop tool

MaxAmps has expanded its LiPo battery lineup to include 17S (62.9V) and 18S (66.6V) configurations, previously only achievable by wiring multiple batteries in series. Capacities range from 430mAh to 62000mAh. The company also introduced the ISDT B80 charger, an AC unit with a 24-pin Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 balance lead and phone app control, designed to support these higher-voltage packs. Additionally, MaxAmps added LFP-Max batteries up to 22S (72.6V), also compatible with the B80 charger.
