RE: hobbyking experience?
Vote me in for negative. I've only bought lipos that were DOA and forget about support. Pay a lot less for mediocre stuff that is hit and miss but does the job for a lot of people. I am fine with that but please don't say its the same stuff with a different badge and lower price and insult people that sell good products with quality standards and good support in mind.

Yes, there are only a handful of LIPO companies in the world. What do you think they do with the weaker batteries that don't make the grade for the quality companies they are supplying (ie. thunderpower)? I am certain they aren't thrown out and are instead given a label for one of the low end suppliers that passes it on to people who think its the same thing TP sells.

All brands have their detractors but HK has more than most. Even this thread is split. I would expect a good brand to have generally good comments all around and thats not the case here.</div>
