I orded some 5200, 50c,7.4 volt..and out of 2..1 was faulty..real bad..The balance red wire wasnt even solded on..and when i charged.,.it swelled big time.. Still waiting replacement
That went in the bin..

Now Ive orded a 5400.50c.7.4v...and the packet has been opened and resealed?
I wont open/touch until I get a reply...

Ive contacted SMC and RC-Market.....Im not very happy with the SMC range that comes out of HONG KONG.....are the SMC that come out the USA better? they are at least $50 more expensive?
Ive contacted RC-MARKET..and talking to asians..well forget.it...By the time i send back..do all the bullsh%t,,its not worth it..
Has any one else had this problem? Or is only me?.

I can't even begin to count the number of 2s and 1s SMC packs I have seen swollen recently. Including 4 of my own 4900 1s packs I know were well cared for and only 4 months old. My solution is to use a different manufacturer.
