No man, show me your review, i'd love to check it out. What brand were they?
I know! Fast charging is awesome, as that is one of the reasons why I went with A123's to start with up until now. I am LOVING these lipo's, the punch... insane power, I never knew the my little 1512 could push around a Revo with such authority, and vulgarity! They don't even get any warmer than ambient temp it seems (to touch).
I just can't wait until I can charge them up to 100% at 4.2v/cell, as I am doing 4.133v/cell right now, non-balanced. Just to be safe. BTW, it seems like these things have a break in period, I am 100% certain these things are getting more powerful everytime I run them... and I did hear something about break in for first ~20 cycles on RCGroups, and helifreak. Some good graphs there:

The Quark 125B is having trouble with these packs though, for teh first 5 minutes, if I brake at speed, the Quark shuts down!
No brakes! Some kind of over voltage, and glitching is kinda bad too off the charger, and sometimes it doesn't want to even move it's a$$, gotta replug it..
I'll have some updates on Monday with some FULL DOD runs, eagletrees and such. I can also get temps now with the eagletree... I put the temp probe inside the 1512, held in with Mike's Neu end cover.
cheers
