I have my old standby zippy pack that I use for my truck and noticed that when I charge it, the cell voltages go from 4.12 to 4.18-4.20 as soon as the charger starts to send current to it.

So I measured the internal resistance and saw pretty much why.

im honestly surprised it has lasted this long. This pack is at least 4 years old and hasnt had the best life. t was always left fully charged until a few months ago, and ran down to like 3.4 volts a lot. Its almost lie trying to take care of it made it die haha.

Ive stopped using hobby king ever since i found the glacier batteries. I haven't really had bad luck with the hk stuff, but buddy rc has actual customer service and the fastest shipping ive ever seen, same day shipping on at least 6 orders now
