SMC 4900 1S 4850mah
What I noticed was the Reedy packs stayed more or less the same by the 3rd discharge, but the SMC fell off quickly in avg.V and runtime.
Some companies under rate their cells, and some are rather optimistic about their capacities...
Both of my SMCs have puffed a litttle, maybe I got a bad batch, good enough for practice though.
