Thank god i'm still testing it with my charger because i noticed that they switched the + and - from side !

So if you hook it up the same way like you hook up the 4800 Mah packs then you going to fry your speedo.

I'm going to open up the 5000 Mah pack and turn it around in the casing and drill two new holes.
Then tape up the existing holes and that way no mistake can be made.
This is a very stupid move from Orion and i'm sure that some people will fry their speedo because of this
I lent my 3200 to someone who only ran 4800's and he plugged in reverse, it was a rush, so I forgot to remind him, lucklily it didn't pop his speedo, but the pack ballooned up, and I refuse to use it now. Looking at the case there is NO reason for them to have switched the polarity, it's a very poor choice.
