Guys forgive me if this has already been answered, but a search for "mega power" turned up nothing but a gajillion posts about people's hot setups.
There's some folks here that are seriously power-crazy! :mrgreen:

Anyway, in my eternal qwest to do everything on the cheap I ran across this brand @ Helidirect: http://www.helidirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=2976

Anyone tried 'em? Good, bad, indifferent?

I purchased 4 of these batteries while back:

After 20 to 50 cycles one of the batteries started to slightly puff. So I stripped off the black heat shrink to inspect and I was very surprised to see stamped on the batteries 15C 2200…..

So I would not trust the claims made on these batteries as they are clearly miss marked.

I have since turned to TP 2070 packs and will consider some EVO 2170 packs. I have learned my lesson on cheap packs.

I would not suggest to anyone to purchase the packs, because of this situation.

I purchased the 4600 mega pack for my TREx. The pack works but it didn't seem to deliver the power. The head was boging a bit. Helidirect is awsome to deal with though.
