Thought it interesting to posts as he's a regular on here...
The RC Driver review from David Baker also came out very positive on these...
Its looks like the connection design looks like it has been improved - I think that these could work very well for advanced users but am concerned about how the cells will cope over time as they get out of cycle with each other.
Also worried about the charging method - reconfiguring to parallel for charging risks combining a discharged and charged cell together. I'd hate to see someone someone mix cells together that are at different levels. Rapid equalization of cells like that is going to be very dangerous.
In addition people need to be aware of their chargers limits with this setup - Most chargers have a 5, 6 or 10amp limit. So if you now have a 1p 20kmah pack and a 5amp charger its will mean you can only charging at .25C (4 hours) vs 1C as a 4p 5k mah pack (1 hour).
