The Turnigy lipos I ordered came in today, they were very nicely packaged in individual boxes with bubble wrap, they look very good, as flat has they can be. Very well put together.

Now the rumor about those batteries is that they are mislabeled as 15C/20C cells when they actually are 20C/30C cells. So since I'm a crazy French guy, the first thing I did to one of the batteries was to rip the heat shrink off to see if there was some writing on the cells that could prove they are 20C/30C. I remember that the Zippy packs I split had the C rating printed on the cells. I was hoping that the Turnigy cells would have the C rating printed on them too. The only writing I found made no sense and Googling the numbers gave no results. So I don't know if the claims of mislabeling are true.
The numbers I found were:
-ALP8650135S
+HY925110105
Is there a way to measure the C rating of a lipo battery?
