Starting voltage was 4.2v per cell, they ended up around 3.6-3.8v IIRC when I decided to end the run as they were starting to loose a bit of punch, though they were nowhere near LVC cutoff level. For the price they cant be beat, just the occasional QC issue with cold solder joints that are easily fixed really. Long term though, I dont think too many people have put enough cycles through their packs to provide info on how much punch they loose after x number of cycles, but I would expect them to last 100+ runs if treated well and balance charged everytime, pretty standard life for lipos.

good deal ,understood. great info again SNeil
maybe I'll take the chance on one, or I guess a Turnigy, now seeing the Z flightmax is on backorder and Turnigy is the replacement.

Wish I could afford Thunder Power.

any other suggestions, brand other than flightpower, ?

thank you very much
almost had a PQ 6s 6000 25 for $150. now I'm shopping again
