I bought two TQ Cells Boosters and they both failed, one immediately after plugging it in, the other about 5-minutes after being plugged in. TQ Cells confirmed they had a defect in some of the early units and offered to replace them if I paid for postage, but I instead bought the Novak units.
Another racer I run with consistently had a TQ Cells booster had one fail about 1-month ago after 4-months of use.
The Novak Smart Boost's work great. I purchased two initially, but decided to try receiver batteries for awhile, and sold those boosters to another racer. Subsequently, I have purchased 4 boosters for my 1/12 and WGT cars. To date, all 6 Novak Smart Boost's are in use and still working today w/o a single problem.
