Default RE: what is a cheap f3a 5S 5000mah battery

My packs are flying the intermediate sequence pretty well, but I pulled the data from the data logger and found I was running under 1800 watts (110 size plane) and pulling about 65A. I was interested in trying more prop, but the voltage is dropping down to 3.2V/cell under load, so they're pretty close to maxed out imo. These were new last year and not many flights on them. My first set of packs (30C) lost a ton of punch in not much time at all. I have (had) 3 sets of 20C packs from last year, one performing like crap and the two used here. I'd like to think they're not bad, but 4 sets of packs and I have not been happy with any, in contrast to the Rhinos, and even the Blue lipos which have looked good so far, but not too many flights.
