or does the battery come with a cable like the 4400 did? I would then need to get a 5mm to Deans to use in the car. Any recommendations?

I bought this one, can charge/balance both 4mm and 5mm.

If you ordered on Friday they probably won't ship until Monday. Then usually once it's on the truck, it takes another 3-4 work days

Just out of curiousity does SMC ship from VA or do they use a shipping company? I just received a shipping notification from a shipping company in Illinois. The only thing I've ordered in the last two weeks is a couple of Lipos from SMC.

Is there an average wait time on pre-orders? Just wondering if it is normally days, weeks or months. Or perhaps you just get it when you get it.

I too have this question. What is the usual wait for a pre-order?

I've had two that I've been using for the last 3-4 months or so, and one balances perfect with IR's around 1.4 for both cells. The other has been taking noticeably longer to balance, and IR's are more like 2-3 per cell. It balances and charges fine, but takes longer than the other one. The cells are usually not a close together either when I go to recharge it. I just bought another one though. For $35, they're hard to beat.
