"Well, these batteries should last for 5000 cycles so for them to have died at 500 you must have abused them"

Baseline is, you are paying a massive premium for a guarantee that means nothing in the real world.

Even if these Turnigy Lifepo4 cells aren't the same or slightly lower quality than the Maxamps cells, is it worth paying a $140 premium for a 3s2p 4500 pack that MAY last a few more cycles. The answer is no. It is not.
True, and if any other company had Lifepo4 cells that fit the Mini Revo I would have been all over them like a rash.

Noone did.
