Downside is the batts, that is the 'weak link' now. Charging time, investment cost (best to have 4 sets in hand, 6 would be great), cost of 2 good chargers and longevity/durability of the batts. In Malaysia its weird, we have found Rhinos to be a FAILURE. Almost all bloat after 10 cycles even though we are pushing the batts to only 70% of their discharge capability. Even Turnigy ones are the same. Something must be wrong from where we come from! You guys in the US are lucky ...
That is really amazing. My experience with Rhino is exceptional. Cannot imagine humidity is a factor here. Temperature yes.

Would be interesting to see if you get an improvement if you store your batteries in the refrigerator.

Are you discussing 10S sets here? What brand does work for you?

I am flying with 3 sets and two chargers and I don't experience having to wait for charged batteries when flying.
