Really? Who appointed you, us, whatever as guardians of the industry? If you were really that interested in "guardianship" you'd be doing more to test and verify the claims of ALL battery manufacturers/distributors, including the Chinese, Taiwanese, etc. ones too, and not just harping on one.
Frankly most of the LiPo battery manufacturer/distributor, etc. out there don't do anything to back up their claims with solid information and technical specifications that can be verified. It's a free-for-all.

Great some people are impressed that they now have a pack that can do 75C continuous, and 150C one second bursts. Then advertise them that way. We are trying to watch out for everyone in this hobby, not just our own wallets. If this were a Chinese company you guys would be having a fit and contacting the Department of State over the matter. Claiming a TRUE 150C status on a LiPo pack is shady at best when we all know very well that it will not hold up to that claim. Personally I was glad to hear that they are now offering the 3 year warranty on all of their packs. That was a good move. Whether or not they honor that will have to be seen.
