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.
Well my exp is getting a little limited these days.... Racing 10th scale I have had IP's which are good new and go average real quick, Chargery's which were better than IP's new and much longer life but also feel away badly after a while, some no name thing which was great for 1 min then soft afterwards (good practice pack) and then thunderpowers which are immense out of the packet and don't seem to lose anything after a year of racing. I was pretty amazed when a 2 week old pack produced less than 90% of its rated capacity. I have since been told that it was a poor batch and the newer stuff is considerably better but it is dissappointing none the less.
