The good packs like orion are not common knowledge to newbs.People shop on the net and go to thier hobbyshops and try to save money by buying cheaper batts.Not knowing the dangers.Telling a newb they got what was coming to them because the bought a cheap battery isen't cool.They dont know the dangers.Most are backyard bashers and will never talk to a vet at the track.Sorry to say but alot of hobbyshop workers dont even know there own products so they dont have knowledge or dont care as long as they sell the product.
What you just said is exactly why the info is so important. I know they're dangerous and I am always on the lookout for problems others may be having with the same stuff I'm using. I don't know why simple requests for more info get met with such derision.

For the record, I said nothing about his noob status, spelling or haircut (just playing Socal). I only requested details.
