so, why is it that some work and some don't? shouldn't they all have the same internal parts?

Again, they do all have the same part. The part is rated for 16.0V. 4S Lipos are 16.8V. Some percentage of the parts will still work OK on 16.8V, as the overvoltage has about a 10% margin of error (tolerance,) but some will not.

Thanx!
