You have PM!

So do you think that somewhere in the shipping of these they went by plane and maybe the air pressure made the pack puff?
Just a thought

[Boaterguy]

one would assume they are flown.

for my own sanity check, using an imax B5, what is the recommended charging rate for say 5000mah 30c cells? Ive always charged them (and other lipos) just under the mah, so the 5000mah get charged at 4.8amps, is that totally wrong?

thanks

Yep, me too. Spend a little more time paying attention on the site! Brian, let us know how the Haiyins work out for you! I have one of the 4S 5000 40C's on order too but I will be testing it in an airplane. Not nearly the challenge for the battery as a boat would be.

Haiyins arrived today, five days after ordering. They look perfect. Every single cell was at 3.84 volts........I will keep you informed BG

The Turnigy batteries can be charged at 2c. Which is 10amps. 1c and lower is recommended to keep the cells better balanced but if you are ever in a hurry and you have a 10amp charger that would also be fine but cell balance may be a little out.

That is good new Brian. See if you can win a few races with them!

Hate reading these horror stories! I have 2 Turnigy 2S 40c 5000mah lipos that will be at my door today that i ordered from Kintec earlier this week. This is my first jump into the lipo game, i plan to buy at least one more set of 2S's and probably 1 3S pack. A couple guy's at my work run Turnigy's from HK religiously in their race trucks, they swear by them, which is partly why i bought them. I dunno, i guess i'll see if mine show up OK or not!

I too received my Haiyin packs a few days ago. Very impressive. They are very well made with nicely squared edges and very compact shrink wrapping. I haven't had a chance to use yet but they arrived fully balanced in storage mode at 3.84V per cell.

Rachel, I see you have requested I return this defective battery and PAY FOR SHIPPING.. I find your policy in this matter to be quite unfair. I am a platinum member and should have some credibility with your company. I have proved with out a shadow of doubt by picture evidence sent to you that your product purchased by me was clearly defective. By reading many reports on the internet, I have concluded your firm has sent many defective batteries to your loyal customers in the past few weeks. I wish you would encourage your superiors to reconsider this insane return policy for defective batteries. Tower Hobbies could be your model in dealing with these situations. Tower , unlike your firm, does not even ask for photo evidence to prove merchandise to be defective where a gold member (platinum to you) request a replacement. I have no interest in defrauding HK, I just want to be treated fairly. I have proved the battery to be defective and urge you to send a relpacement. Please reply. Thanks in advance, Brian Giardelli.

I liked that reply Brian, well thought out. What I don't get is when the deem your case solved.... They haven't sent you a new one so it's not solved.....

I have recently tested Winmax batteries. I'm getting very low resistance, cells balancing perfectly after 3 cycles, MAH seems lower than stated but that is the only bad point I have on these batteries. They have better quality balance wires and pack gives slightly better performance than a similar turnigy battery.

Good luck with morons from Hobby King!!!
Hopefully they will help you.
I am trying to get my esc back as warranty replacement for over 2 years.
They are out of their mind, scammers simply put.
Shipping out, if in stoc, is the only process they are aware of... and some of them can say few words in english...
ONE Dola, One dola....

[ENCORE MAN]

The final chapter, Rachel at HK has credited my account $49.99 and I do not have to return the battery this time (only). HALLELUIA, a victory for the small guy. BG
