Default Rhino 4900

After hearing lots of good things about them I bought 4 5s Rhino 4900. I cut off the shrink and rewired them to 10s yielding two packs at 1190g. In the process I found one pack had two slightly swollen outer cells. Since I had cut the shrink off I decided to try it. After a careful break in one dropped a cell and then 6 or 7 flights later so did the swollen one. I ordered another 5s to fix the first pack but now plan on combining some cells to keep both packs going a little longer.

Has anyone else been having problems with these or is it just my typical luck?
Should I just stick to the cheaper and lighter Zippy 15c even though the Rhino did run stronger?
I plan on buying another pair in the spring but not sure on what. My budget has been really stretched so the Chinese batteries are the best way for me to keep going.
