Reedy VMX Concept R-46 IB4600

Reedy have introduced the new IB4600, treated and matched using the Reedy VMX Concept, which produces a racing pack capable of powering winners at all levels of competition. Even more impressive is the increased durability and reliability incorporated into this high output package. The VMX process begins by applying an intense energy pulse to new IB4600 NiMH cells using high-tech equipment designed in house by our engineering staff. The end results of this exclusive process are reduced internal resistance, increased voltage output and more power. These enhanced cells are cycled, then power-matched using a 35-amp discharge. This process eliminates weak cells and those that do not fall within the exclusive percentage that are good enough to be hand selected as Reedy VMX R-46 grade.
