I think because it says

"Home / SPC/EnerG 4600 mAh Matched Racing Cells & Packs. Please allow a minimum of 5 to 7 days after ordering for battery pack construction & testing.

that they are assembled.. you even pick the type of connector you need when you order them.

Besides the shipping taking 5 to 7 days, they are also out of stock.

Usually these cells are individual and you would have to solder them together with battery bars, pos and neg wires, and a connetor such as a deans plug.

The site says assembled and pick your connectors, though adding connectors raises the price too.

If your not good at soldering, and or do not have a high quality soldering iron, I would not attempt building a pack on your own. Overheating the cells, and or not soldering them just right, can damage the batteries. Just FYI.

No, First charge should be a slow charge at 2 amps, cycle the battery once or twice than charge at the rate recommended on the pack.

One cycle would be charge and a discharge.
