No thats what the package says but a 2s pack fully charged is really 8.4v...... not sure why they label packs that way but they do.

Trust me charge them to the 4.2 per cell and you will be flying for 25+min easy.

Look at the charging section in this link below

I personally set my cutoff on the esc at 3.2v per cell and charge to the 4.2v per cell..... If your not going to use the packs for awhile put them in storage mode by charging them to 3.8v per cell


Also are you charging at 2amps? If so you can bump it up to at least 5amps with that pack.
