Cool Beware cheap lipos

There are sellers on Ebay selling lipo batteries that have a white wrapper with a silver label and no brand name on them.They have only 8C rating but seem like a bargain at a low price.I bought one [7.4V] 1300mah just to have a cheap spare for my #4.Well, after only 2 charges the thing swelled up like Oprah on steroids!Now the seller has dropped off the face of the Earth-avoid these batteries like the plague!

Re: Beware cheap lipos

www.tedani.com They have good prices on 3e lipos. Mine has about 20 cycles on it and no problem. $30 2200 12c. All that I had to do was work with a tight deans conector, not that the battorie holding tigh is a problem.
