Congratulations!

I think you'll be pleased with them.

What do you plan on running them in and what is your setup?

Just make sure you have the same amount of cycles on all the batteries. Running a new battery and an older battery in series is not really a good idea.

That's good advice.

I would number them and rotate.

They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

That's fine, i usually buy used anyway. Well i just ordered the XH adapter for my hyperion charger from MonsterMike, so i will be a few days before i can put a charge on them. Although i can't balance them, should i put a few amps in them, or do they come a little charged to start with? Since these aren't Shitamps i am assuming that these aren't dead on arrival. One time i did order a Trashamps and didn't charge it immediately and it was dead when i tried to charge it.

Have it your way. LOL You can put some amps in if you want, but they usually come with the cell voltage sitting around 3.85 volts per cell. About 50% charged.
