I got my V28 pack yesterday. So far I've taken all the cells out and cleaned them up, which took about 20 minutes. I checked the voltage on each of them as shipped, and they were all at either 3.89 or 3.90 volts. I'm about to go on a trip for a few days, but I'll make a 4S1P configuration soon and let y'all know how well they work. I'll try them in my Stampede with the 12s first, since that won't pull as many amps as the 9L in my MT2. If I don't get better performance than my 12 NiMH cells, then I'll find another emoli cell somewhere to make it 2P. Luckily, I didn't have to buy a new charger for these cells, since I have access to several Schulze 330d chargers at work. :) I'm not going to bother with adding balancer leads. I'll just charge the cells individually if they ever go out of balance.
