Near Disaster - Chinese battery

[Fluid]

For me, no more cheapa$$ batteries.

I never went there, but several club members have. The results have been brand new packs with dead cells (not the charger's fault), packs which would never balance, internal wiring which came loose, hot running packs and several burned-up boats. Results also included decent 'spec class' performance and no disasters. I'm happy spending a bit more and getting a lot more.

It is amusing how much energy some folks will put into disputing someone else's choice if it differs from their own. Many posters above can't stand the fact that Jim doesn't like the cheap packs they love. Rationalizations and excuses for cheap packs abound in this thread - very funny to read. I say do whatever you want, it's your money. But don't discount someone's choice just because he wants to - or can - spend more money than you do.
