So after a few cycles the GensAce looks much closer in cell gap. However discharging below 3.7v they really start to lose voltage cohesion. Now I set my cutoff to 3.8v so it isn't much of an issue, but I do wonder if that is normal.
And duly noted on the charge rate, I thought that new batteries were more flexible wrt lifetime/charge rates. And I just got the new charger and 24v of power. Guess its time for more mAh batts!
