HK Batteries never again

[gwweber]

Bought 6 expensive 4 sell 5000 mah nano tech a spec batteries. The good ones run very well but out of 6 two are bad out of the gate. As they are this bad new i am trying to return all the batteries to HK. MAN THEY ARE SOBS.
Sad thing is for $15 more I could have bought good name brand batteries. BEWARE if you buy. Also point out the warrenty on turnigy batteries is only 30 days versus much longer periods on branded batteries

nothing new here-people are told all the time about hk batts (turnigy),with every order i've made for them at least one of them has been bad right out of the box! they have finally lost my business.

Been using them a long time. This is the first time I have bought the (QUALITY) packs and the last!

For every horror story, you will here just as many success stories. I use the Turnigys with very good results for several years now...currently have about 70 lipos from them.

Expensive is a relative term...Try Mojo Racing his stuff is great and just a tad more......Bobs a good guy and located in Michigan....

I won't buy Nanotechs, just the regular packs and some Zippys.

I had issues with a 4S pack of zippies and they replaced it quickly. Problem was the replacement was bad. They replaced it again and now all is good. Actually I was able to make a 4S and a 2S pack from the remaining good cells.

I bought a pair of Zippy Flitemax (can't remember the MAH or C rating, but I know they were at least 5000/50C) to run in series in my Lucas Oil, and they have been perfect for almost a year and a half.
