Hi,
ThunderPower write on their homepagethat their G6 LiPo is good for up to 600+ cycles.
600+ cycles is not bad and that is what one would pay forexcept the up to 12C charge capabilities (with ThunderPower approved charger and balancer combination).
I do not think I have seen any other company that sell LiPo has told such high cycle figure in an ad or on homepage?
I would be interested to know what LiPo brand one really can trust that You get quality controlled LiPo and whatcompanies has specific cycles advertised that one could be reasonably sure one would achieve (asuming the LiPo is taken care of and used within specified C etc).
- DesirePower say on their hompage that their V8 LiPo is capable of "cycle up to
200+under proper usage".

- ThunderPower G6 LiPo"up to an incredible
600+ cycles".

- Hyperion G3 EX 45C LiPo "Some users have reported as many as
500 strong cycles so far, and still going strong".

The big question is also how many cycles a LiPo will be able to perform good discharge power, my DesirePower V8 35C 6 cell 5200 mAh latsed about 200 cycles with good performance but efter that they have swollen and do not perform as good they used to do.
Please fill in what You know about other brands regarding advertised cycles.
