SPAM on a new level...

I'm used to getting SPAM in my email inbox, but I thought this was even more targeted than usual:

That's ehh... funny

Curious as to who is your ISP? Obviously somebody somewhere is watching you. :)

The capacities obtained at 0.2C discharge cut-off voltage 2.75V at the temperature of 25ºC within 4 hour after the Standard Charge(Constant Current 0.5C Constant Voltage 4.2V 0.01C cut-off);

.2c discharge down to 2.75 volts. Boy they sure are reaching for their capacity.


So I guess your the new in state dealer of Fly Power ;)

MediaCom. But really, I could have been targeted because of my R/C calc page.

I too looked at those cells and though the 2.75v 0.2 discharge was a bit reaching to get the capacity. I wonder what the realistic capacity at 3.2v and 20C discharge would be? Probably 70% of their rated capacity. At least they were honest enough to state it in the way they did. No, I don't think I'll be doing business with them.

I'd bet the 70% would be reaching with these. But you never know. Seems I've had better luck, then not, with Chinese lipo's.

haha i would ask for some samples
