For those who already own the 4800 and are buying the newer 5000, it is wise to know which side the polarity are. If you want to prevent errors, make yourself a dymo label (

With this size battery, you shouldn't be in a rush to begin with. If you can't top it off between races you will still have voltage to run if you run the stock 13.5, 17.5 and even 10.5 (depends on your driving style).
my 2 cents
A logical way to deal with bullets is to make it so the + cannot reach the negative on the battery, but if 2 of your packs are swapped you can't even do that.
