Thunder Power - are they high quality?

[don ferrette]

Thunder Power G4 Pro Power 45C batteries- how do they stack up to Hyperion G3 EX 45C's? I'm looking at 4S and 5S applications specifically.

I haven't directly compared the two, but I have been racing with ThunderPower cells for going on two years now, and they have proven to be very reliable high performing.

They have some 65C cells out now as well...

Yup...RCLipos has them (Pat).....

Our club is predominantly Thunder Power or Hyperion cells of various eras. Performance is so close it's hard to pick which one is better (comparing equivalent eras). The TP 65C cells are out as someone mentioned, and cheaper than the 45C packs! Well worth the money.

In addition to performance is service. The first two LiPo packs I bought were ThunderPowers, and after a month I had an issue with one and called them. No questions, they said send both packs back. I received two brand new packs in return mail. They also service packs, check them for degradation, etc. (The airplane guys often send in their packs after the flying season to make sure they are okay. A pack failing in a plane is a bit more serious than if it happens in a boat.)

I run mostly ThunderPower and Hyperion in my own boats.

I'm down to running only Hyperions in my heat racing boats but just picked up some 65C Thunderpower packs for some special 4S1P applications .
