In the meantime, try to get to know U.S. owned and based companies that offer actual service to go with reasonable prices and better batteries like SMC and Promatch.
I would love to buy American but all these batteries are made in China and rebadged by the vendors.

Out of about two dozen packs I bought from HobbyKing only one was bad. Out of the two I bought from Promatch both were bad but they replaced them. Both SMC packs I bought (1 cell) puffed. Half of the Zues batteries have puffed. Not sure why the resellers packs are so touchy as I store all my packs at 3.85V/cell but the HobbyKing packs work great and last.

My Reedy packs are still good as are my CORE packs. The worst were the Trinity packs.

If I have the time I will order from HK but if I'm rushed then I order from their USA Warehouse.
