Ways to protect MMM when used with subpar batts

[BrianG]

With Turnigy, I don't think the cell quality is in question, it's more about build quality and cell matching. I've posted this earlier in this thread, but out of 5 Turnigy packs I've had, one went back to the LHS because one cell simply wouldn't hold a charge. And on another pack, a different cell needed to be individually charged in order to bring it up to the same level as the other cells (balancing would have taken forever). Since then, that pack has held up fine, so barring that one pack, I have a 20% failure rate. Personally, given the price, it's worth it. Some people may not want to deal with that kind of thing though. I think they would have a better rep if they weeded out the bad cells better.

I will say that so far, the build quality is ok; my only gripe would probably be the weak heatshrink they use.
