** IMPORTANT UPDATE **

Steve at HeliDirect.com has made it publicly known that there are problems with MEGA POWER Batteries that were Made or Sold in the Last 5+ Months and that there is No Need To Mail These Batteries Back To Them, They Only Need a Picture of the Battery, But Only God Knows the Rules that they have places on what pictures will be accepted as problematic batteries I'm sure and they will Replace All Batteries to Anyone with Puffed Batteries.

Here is the link below:

Personally,... I wouldnt let them exchange the Mega Power Battery for another one. Try to get a different make battery if you can.

I knew i should have listened when it was posted inside this thread that if you buy a cheap battery,... You get a cheap battery.

So Anyway,... I just wanted to make sure that those of you that own a Mega Power Battery,... That There Is a Potential BOMB Ready To Burn Down Your House, Kill You and Your Family.

So Think About The Mega Power Battery You Current Own And Exchange It ASAP.

Good Luck All.

Holy smoke. I got 2 of the 3S 2100mah packs in July. One is slightly puffed and the other is more. One is sitting in my car right now and the other in my house. $%^&*$.

Yup, I just bought one from Helidirect a couple weeks ago and it showed a bad cell after cycling, I contacted Larry at H.D and sent a pic of the Mega and he sent me a new one immeditaly.

Well this poor thing is bad too, Im just gonna see if they will give me a credit as I am scared to try to fly with em.

Do they let you upgrade to another brand? I think that's what I'm going to do.

I'd Get a Refund or a Different Make Forsure If You Can.
