Ok guys, sorry to have to do this but I am thru with lipo work.

Sitting at work today trying to get solder to stick to the end of an a123 cell and it hit me that this is a complete waste of my time. I have too much going on and just do not have the desire to fix lipos anymore.

It did not help that half of the people who sent me packs made it next to impossible for me to figure out who they were and what they wanted done to the packs, plus 500 pm's per pack is getting a little old too.

I have plenty of other stuff to keep myself busy, and it is way too hot to be laboring over a soldering iron for hours at a time.

Anyways, most of the packs I am fixing are zippy packs, and the build quality is all over the place. My advise is to buy better packs, or more than 1 zippy pack at a time and just throw away the problem packs.

I will finish what I have here, and will not be accepting anymore lipos. If you do send them to me I will not be fixing them...

Also I would just like to say that A123 cells SUCK. They are worse than nimh cells. Nothing sticks to damn weird al ends, the "resistance welded" metal tabs are not attached worth a crap either, so no chance soldering to them, as they fall off if you look at them funny. Plus they are difficult to package on a car, and are very heavy.

Sure they can handle abuse, but only an idiot abuses his batteries... Plus they don't hold voltage worth a crap either. Good rx batts if you lack the intelligence to run a ubec, or, god forbid, still like nitro.

End of rant, the a123 cells have just pissed me past off.

UhhOhh... I'm guessin' those are my A123's pissin' you off.

I hope I wasn't one of those who got you mixxed up over whats wrong with the batt's,I thought I sent pretty good instructions.

Anyways Linc, don't worry about the Thunder Power packs. You can toss em' or use if you want.
Hopefully you can make it through the A123's and Zippy's with throwing anything through the window.

Take it easy and good luck!
