Without that being done by at least a few independent sources (not just by a retailer who is slapping a re-branding sticker and then selling them), we just cannot give you a more specific honest answer.



Again, most of us are NOT saying they are necessarily being over-hyped or over-promoted. We are saying there just is not yet enough reliable information presented. I do not know if the RC Forums have tested these cells yet, but they have many sharp, and highly respected "tools in their forum shed." I would look there next if I was sufficiently motivated. Following that, I would do my own series of CBA-II discharge tests. I would also want to see more information from Panasonic about the recharge rate limits, and cell cycle life if routinely used at 8-10A loads. There are many factors to consider.
