IMO IP lipos are cheap crap and I will not use inferior products in such a high end radio.
How exactly are Intellect LiPo packs "cheap crap"? They are one of the biggest manufacturers of LiPo batteries & supply many companies, which simply rebadge their batteries. What makes them so crap? Why even write something like that if you have not a single qualifying statement or reason for saying something like that?
I've been using their NiMH packs for more than 7 years with not 1 single problem. I've also been using both their LiFe & LiPo packs for about 18months now, also without a single problem ever. Really sounds like "cheap crap" to me too.
