For a cheap pack these have treated me well. They have the same 10C rating, but I have used these pretty hard with no failures.

What is the quality of the Battery Space batteries?

They are considered on the same level as Tenergy and other chinese packs, but I used them with a MM7700 combo, so you know I put some stress on them. They all did great for me. Of course it likely helped that I bought loose cells and built packs with high quality bars and wire. But I had 12 cells 3300, and 12 cells 4200, both performed just fine.

It's a DC only charger. I might give some of the Turnigy and/or zippy batteries from hobbycity a try soon.
